John Legend is gearing up to share holiday cheer. The EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) Award winner has unveiled the dates for A John Legend Christmas Tour.
The 11-date tour begins Dec. 2 at Yaamava’ Theater in Highland, California. From there, Legend will perform across the U.S., hitting cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, and Atlanta. The tour wraps up Dec. 21 at The Hall at Live! in Hanover, Maryland.

Regarding his upcoming tour, Legend says, “I’m excited to get into the holiday spirit with you all this December and celebrate with evenings full of storytelling, holiday classics, and songs from A Legendary Christmas.”
As he indicated, Legend’s setlist will include material from his 2018 holiday album, A Legendary Christmas. The album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Holiday Albums chart and peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard 200 chart.
A Legendary Christmas included collaborations with Stevie Wonder (“What Christmas Means to Me”), Kelly Clarkson (“Baby, It’s Cold Outside”), and Esperanza Spalding (“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”).
In 2023, A Legendary Christmas was certified gold in the U.S. by the RIAA for selling over 500,000 equivalent units.
In August, Legend released his family-friendly album, My Favorite Dream. He worked closely with multi-instrumentalist and artist Surfjan Stevens on the 15-track album.
Regarding the project’s inspiration, Legend shared, “I’m right in the thick of fatherhood. My parents loved to sing around the house, making up bedtime songs for us and songs to motivate and inspire us. And Chrissy and I also love singing to our kids. We make up little jingles and ditties for them all the time. In our home, music is very important to the way we interact and communicate with them.”
He added, “Once I started thinking about it, I decided I wanted to write a whole new children’s album. I just took it on as a challenge to write some original lullabies and children’s songs that I would want my kids to hear, something we could share with kids and parents all over the world.”
