Kehlani world tour and album success

Overview

R&B artist Kehlani launched her world tour on August 6 in Minneapolis at The Armory. The tour supports her self-titled fifth studio album, which reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The single ‘Folded’ has earned the artist two Grammy Awards.

Following the initial launch, Kehlani announced further tour dates for the United States and Australia. The U.S. itinerary includes a performance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on August 21. Additionally, an Australian arena tour is scheduled for February 2027, covering Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, with American artist Destin Conrad appearing as a special guest at all Australian stops.

On August 26, Kehlani announced the cancellation of two upcoming tour dates in Camden, New Jersey, and the Washington D.C. area. The singer reported being hospitalized due to a ‘painful illness that left her unable to swallow’ and stated she had not been cleared to sing. Kehlani expressed heartbreak over the decision, noting that her condition became unmanageable despite efforts to prioritize her health while on the road.

The tour is expected to resume on August 29 in Richmond, Virginia. The 33-date tour is scheduled to conclude in early October in San Francisco.
