Maxwell has had quite a busy year, and it’s only going to get busier. After cruising the high seas on his Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite Cruise in February and closing out the 17th Annual Jazz In The Gardens Music Fest this month, Maxwell is taking his mic back on the road. Later this year, the “Fortunate” singer will embark on The Serenade Tour where he’ll be joined by special guests Jazmine Sullivan and October London.
The Serenade Tour is coming to an arena near you this fall. The 26-date tour begins on September 14th in Hollywood (Florida, not California) before venturing on Tampa, Hampton, Baltimore, Brooklyn, Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte, D.C., Newark, Chicago, Memphis, New Orleans, Oakland and Las Vegas, to name a few cities. The neo-soulful journey will come to an end on October 27th in Los Angeles.
Maxwell, Jazmine and October were all recently on the bill for Jazz In The Gardens, and all three artists clocked in stellar performances at the annual music festival in Miami Gardens, Florida in a preview of coming attractions. Sullivan is also no stranger to touring with Max, having opened for him on his Maxwell 08 Tour in the fall of 2008.
With this tour announcement also came a cryptic message regarding Maxwell’s new music that we’ve been impatiently waiting on. He shared a promotional video for The Serenade Tour across his socials with the caption, “this fall but before that mmmm hmmm.” We assume that “this fall” is in reference to blacksummers'NIGHT, the final album in his long-awaited trilogy. Time will surely tell.
The Serenade Tour is Maxwell’s first major tour since 2022’s The Night Tour featuring Anthony Hamilton and Joe and the extension of that tour into the summer of 2023. With a new tour and the promise of new music, it’s about to be Maxwell season once again.
Tickets to The Serenade Tour go on sale on Friday, March 29th at 10 a.m. local time. Interested fans will also have the opportunity to upgrade to meet and greet and VIP packages. All tickets and packages will be available for purchase via Maxwell’s website. View The Serenade Tour trailer and all tour dates below.
