Cleo Sol Announces First North American Arena Tour, Opening at MSG

Cleo Sol will headline her first-ever North American arena tour, opening Tuesday, April 13 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Live Nation promotes the run, billed as the "Gentlewoman" tour — her first full tour and first arena headline run on the continent.

The announcement follows the August 20, 2026 release of her fifth studio album, also called "Gentlewoman." The British R&B singer-songwriter built her audience largely without conventional promotion, releasing music on her own and with the group Sault with little notice.

That low-key profile masks serious drawing power. In early March 2025, Cleo Sol sold out three nights at New York's Radio City Music Hall. Questlove commented after those shows with a simple "IYKYK" — if you know, you know.

What does the tour change for her career?

It moves her from prestigious theaters to arenas, the largest rooms she has headlined. The April 13 Madison Square Garden date marks her New York arena debut. The Los Angeles stop at the Kia Forum on April 28 will be her second LA headline show, following a sold-out Hollywood Bowl performance in April 2025.

The full itinerary:

• Tue, Apr 13 — New York, NY — Madison Square Garden Arena
• Fri, Apr 16 — Baltimore, MD — CFG Bank Arena
• Mon, Apr 19 — Toronto, ON — Scotiabank Arena
• Wed, Apr 21 — Chicago, IL — United Center
• Sun, Apr 25 — Atlanta, GA — State Farm Arena
• Wed, Apr 28 — Los Angeles, CA — Kia Forum
• Sat, May 1 — Oakland, CA — Oakland Arena

The North American leg runs seven shows and concludes Saturday, May 1 at Oakland Arena in Oakland, California.

Tickets go on sale Thursday, October 22 at 10am local time through Ticketmaster.

For an artist who has never mounted a full tour, selling out an arena swing is an untested proposition. The Radio City and Hollywood Bowl sellouts suggest the demand is there; the spring 2027 dates will show whether it scales.
