Sampha has announced the extension of his Lahai Tour to include North America.
The new leg kicks off March 26 in Miami, Florida, and concludes April 14 in Vancouver, British Columbia, with stops in Boston, Denver, and Seattle in between.
Before that, Sampha will perform in New Zealand and Australia from mid-February to early March. After the North American leg, he will also play a sold-out show in London.
Tickets are available for Sampha’s Lahai Tour on his official website.
Sampha’s upcoming tour continues his 2023 excursion that supported his latest album, Lahai, released Oct. 20, 2023, via Young.
Lahai is the long-awaited follow-up to Sampha’s 2017 debut album, Process. The 14-track album includes the previously shared singles “Spirit 2.0” and “Only.”
Sampha produced the former track, which was released as the album’s lead single, alongside El Guincho and Ricky Damian.
“It’s about the importance of connection to both myself and others, and the beauty and harsh realities of just existing,” Sampha explained. “It’s about acknowledging those moments when you need help — that requires real strength.”
Before and after Lahai arrived, Sampha issued official videos for “Only” and “Can’t Go Back.” He also appeared on a taping of NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series.
Lahai also includes a feature from Léa Sen, a French-Martinican singer and songwriter.

Rated R&B named Lahai the Best R&B Album of 2023, placing it at No. 1 out of 25 albums on the list.
“Lahai flourishes largely because it is a candid illustration of an artist who isn’t afraid to hold a mirror to himself,” wrote Rated R&B’s Edward Dave. “Lahai feels like a blanket of warmth, especially in this enduring winter season.”
