Seven-time GRAMMY® nominated R&B superstar GIVĒON has formally announced his brand-new headlining tour, ‘Dear Beloved, The Tour’, on the heels of the release of his sophomore studio album, BELOVED, available now. BELOVED, released on July 11, marks the second of GIVĒON’s albums to debut within the Top 10 of the /Billboard 200 (#8), and his first solo studio album to achieve the feat (When It’s All Said and Done… Take Time). The 14-track set also currently sits at #1 on Apple Music’s R&B Chart and #3 on Overall.
The tour, produced by Live Nation, includes a stop at the Fox Theatre with special guests Charlotte Day Wilson and Sasha Keable on Thursday, October 23 at 8 p.m. Comerica Bank is the exclusive presenting partner of the Fox Theatre.
Dear Beloved, The Tour will be GIVĒON’s third headlining tour and mark the end of a three-year hiatus from touring, following his breakout tour in 2021, Timeless Tour, and 2022’s Give or Take Tour. The singer’s return to stage mirrors his return to the booth; BELOVED marks GIVĒON’s first studio album since 2022’s Give or Take. His comeback campaign has been champagne-worthy, with a four-star review from Rolling Stone and critical acclaim from Variety, Associated Press, UPROXX, Hypebeast and more.
Though Dear Beloved doesn’t kick off until October, GIVĒON has already made international headlines with his renewed stage presence. Earlier this month, Drake brought him out as a special guest at Wireless Festival in the UK. GIVĒON featured on Drake’s “Chicago Freestyle” in 2021, which contributed significantly to the singer’s star turn.
“How this album is going to translate to the live show – I think it’s going to be magical because the album was made live, so it’s made to be performed live,” GIVĒON told Rolling Stone earlier this month. “It’s going to be my best tour. I want to do strings, I want to do horns, I want to do background vocals, so I feel like [I’ll have] a full eight to 10 piece [backing band], depending on how big the stages are. The album is really a movie, it’s a world, and I want the night to feel like that.”
