GRAMMY-nominated R&B powerhouse Ari Lennox is hitting the road in 2026 with her highly anticipated North American tour in support of her critically acclaimed third studio album Vacancy. Produced by Live Nation, the massive 31-city tour will visit the Fox Theatre on Sunday, May 17 at 8 p.m. Comerica Bank is the exclusive presenting partner of the Fox Theatre.
The tour kicks off Sunday, April 12 at WAMU Theater in Seattle and makes stops across North America including Los Angeles, Atlanta, Toronto, Brooklyn and more before wrapping Saturday, June 6 in Charlotte at Skyla Credit Union Amphitheatre.
Ari’s new album, Vacancy, signals a sophisticated new chapter defined by creative autonomy, confidence and growth. The album reflects a three-year recording process shaped by intention, patience, self-reflection and artistic freedom. Standout tracks include the recent single “Twin Flame,” along with “Under the Moon” and the title track “Vacancy,” which reunites Ari with GRAMMY-winning hitmakers Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox, the duo behind her Billboard-charting, RIAA platinum-certified hit “Pressure.”
In 2023, Ari celebrated her sophomore album Age/Sex/Location with a sold-out headlining tour across major U.S. cities including Los Angeles, Atlanta and Boston.
Vacancy is available now on all streaming platforms via Interscope Records.

About Ari Lennox
Ari Lennox is soul in its purest form — fearless, radiant and singular. Hailing from Washington, D.C., the GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter has built a career rooted in emotional honesty, vocal excellence and artistic integrity. She first captured global attention with her 2019 debut Shea Butter Baby, a modern R&B classic that produced the platinum-certified title track and multiple gold-certified fan favorites.
Her 2022 album Age/Sex/Location earned widespread acclaim for its vulnerability and maturity, while her chart-topping single “Pressure” marked her first solo entry on the Billboard Hot 100. With Vacancy, Ari steps confidently into a refined new era — grounded in her voice, assured in her vision and continuing to shape the future of soul music on her own terms.
