Josh Groban and Jennifer Hudson are teaming up for a big-stage summer arena tour in North America in 2026, bringing two of the most celebrated voices in music together for a 16-city run that kicks off in June. The announcement was made on The Jennifer Hudson Show, where Groban surprised the audience and shared his excitement about hitting the road with Hudson.
The tour is being billed as “two legendary voices, one unforgettable evening,” and it pairs Groban’s soaring vocals and Hudson’s powerful range in a way fans haven’t seen before. Groban said of the collaboration, “Performing live has always been one of the greatest joys of my life, and getting to share these nights with Jennifer, someone I admire so deeply, makes it all the more special. These shows are going to be emotional, celebratory, and full of surprises. I can’t wait to see everyone this summer.” Hudson added her own enthusiasm, calling the opportunity an honor and expressing gratitude for the experience.
The tour will begin June 2, 2026, at Place Bell in Montreal, and travel across major cities in both Canada and the United States before concluding July 3 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Stops include big arenas like Madison Square Garden in New York, TD Garden in Boston, and Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, giving fans from coast to coast a chance to see the pair perform together.
Tickets go on pre-sale starting Wednesday, December 17 at 10 a.m. local time, with the general on-sale beginning Friday, December 19 at 10 a.m. local time. As part of the tour’s commitment to community impact, $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to Groban’s Find Your Light Foundation, which supports arts education for underserved children and communities across the U.S.
For Groban, this joint tour follows an active year that included the release of his latest album Hidden Gems, a collection of rare tracks and fan favorites, along with the GEMS World Tour and sold-out performances including a five-night residency in Las Vegas and back-to-back shows at the Hollywood Bowl. Hudson, an EGOT-winning performer and host of her own daytime talk show, brings her own catalog of hits and dynamic stage presence to the tour, promising an evening that blends vocal mastery with emotional depth.
Both artists have earned acclaim across music, film, and television, and this tour marks their first major outing together on the road. Their combined Grammy nominations and decades of performance experience hint at the caliber of show audiences can expect.
