There’s never been a better time to be a Jill Scott fan.
Just a month after dropping her sixth studio album – and first in 11 years (!) – the three-time Grammy winner announced her ‘Who May It Concern World Tour.’
The tour, which bears the same name as the record, will send the Philly R&B icon to auditoriums, theaters, performing arts centers, pavilions and music festivals across North America from June to September 2026.
That includes not one, not two but three concerts at Brooklyn’s Kings Theater. Those shows are scheduled to be:
Thursday, July 16
7:30 p.m
Saturday, July 18
7:30 p.m
Sunday, July 19
7:30 p.m
If you’d like to be there, tickets are available for all of his North American ‘To Whom This May Concern’ concerts.
And, after a little digging, our team found that the cheapest seats for any one show started at $70 including fees on StubHub at press time.
As for New Yorkers hoping to attend Scott in Brooklyn, some tickets cost as little as $131 including the cost of his short Kings Theater run.
Prior to this exit, the 53-year-old mezzo-soprano’s last official tour was in 2023 for her ‘Who Is Jill Scott’ tour, which celebrated the 23rd anniversary of her debut album.
At those shows, he often sang fan favorites like “A Long Walk,” “He Loves Me (Lyzel in E-Flat),” “The Way,” “It’s Love” and “Show Me,” according to Set List FM.
… tour stops in Detroit,” wrote RnB in the April ’23 update.
“This was more than a concert, it was a reminder of those times when we cleaned our house with ‘Love Rain’ playing in the background, or when ‘Kankan Kankanen’ was on repeat after that breakup, or those heavenly moments during ‘You Love Me.’
Although Scott will be focusing more on the new record on this album (he shared “I put my ALL into this album” on Instagram), he’ll likely return to his storied discography.
Either way, a great summer is just around the corner for Scott’s dedicated team.

New music by Jill Scott
On February 13, Scott released his sixth studio album, “This May Concern Him.”
He doesn’t hold back either.
Over the course of 19 rich, funky tracks, Scott reasserts himself as a musical force to be reckoned with.
An indefinite record begins with a space-y, spoken word “Dope S—” before detonating on the happy, victorious ones “Be Beautiful” feat. Trombone Shorty.
Since then, the hits keep coming. Standout tracks on “TWTMC” include the smokin’, jazzy, reverent “Going back,” head-boppin’ banger “Norf Side” feat. Tierra Whack,” wabeka-back, NSFW standard “Pay U Tuesday,” A Sly and Family Stone-esque number “BPOTY” feat. Very $hort and minimalist, pitter-pattering “I’m 4.”
However, the real highlight here may be the imagination “Ode to Nikki” feat. Ab-Soul. With a razor sharp flow over a killer groove, Scott brings his powerful work to the record. This opinion of this humble critic should be listened to at least three times.
Although it took 11 years to get to us, “This May Concern Them” – featuring R&B, jazz, funk, soul, Hip-Hop and a little EDM – was worth the wait.
To experience it for yourself, you can find the sonically-different, bouncy version of “This May Concern Them” here.
PS: Don’t overdo it “Don’t play,” a ballad of longing “To B Honest” feat. JIDa dance song “For now here” or raw, evocative, deeply spiritual “I’m sorry” or. You will thank us later.
