Josh Groban’s recent reveal on the Jennifer Hudson Show was hard to miss—he’s set to join Hudson for a summer 2026 tour across the U.S. and Canada.
The duo will play 16 arenas, kicking off with a concert in Hawaii on Feb. 7 (no Jennifer Hudson that night) and wrapping up in Salt Lake City on July 3. New York fans can look forward to a shared performance at Madison Square Garden on June 12, where they’ll headline a 16‑show run.
When Groban shared the news, he said, “…to be able to blend our voices, the duet possibilities…” (the entire quoted thought is intact). He added, “You are truly one of my favorite people and favorite artists on the planet, to be able to hit the road together as a team absolutely makes my world.”
This tour marks their first collaboration and coincides with Groban’s Gems album, released in 2025. The collection features heart‑warming staples such as “You Raise Me Up,” “Evermore” and “All I Ask Of You.” As one critic noted, the album is “a carefully curated love letter to the fans, songs, and moments that have shaped his path so far.”
Hudson recently issued an extended edition of her 2024 holiday album, The Gift of Love. Fans of the track “Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting)” have praised Hudson’s rendition as “superb and for the ages,” expecting it to become a seasonal favorite.
Ticket sales open on Dec. 16 with a Live Nation pre‑sale for select dates, followed by a general release on Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. on Dec. 19. You can also find seats through vetted secondary markets like StubHub, Ticketmaster, Vivid Seats, and SeatGeek—sites that guarantee buyers protection and timely delivery.
The tour schedule (January to July) is extensive and includes stops at venues such as Place Bell (Montreal), Scotiabank Arena (Toronto), Boston’s TD Garden, Philadelphia’s Xfinity Mobile Arena, Hershey’s Giant Center, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, and several others across the Midwest and Southeast.
Groban’s recent London performance at Union Chapel on Nov. 1 showcased a mix of originals and covers—including “You Are Loved,” “Changing Colours,” “Aléjate,” and a heartfelt “Bridge Over Troubled Water” encore. Meanwhile, Hudson’s December 2 show at the Cincinnati Music Hall featured a blend of classics and contemporary hits, from “Where You At” to “Hallelujah” and a festive “Let’s Hear It for the Holiday” set.
In 2025–26, several powerhouse performers will be touring: New Edition, Boyz II Men, Toni Braxton, Andrea Bocelli, Diana Krall, Il Divo, and Bernadette Peters, among others. Keep an eye on the full list of headline acts to catch a show that fits your musical taste.
