SZA adds new UK tour dates as tickets go live today
Good days are coming. SZA is bringing her sell-out S.O.S tour to the UK and Europe this summer and tickets are on sale now. Here’s what you need to know.
As if British R&B fans didn’t have enough to be excited about with Beyoncé gracing our shores in 2023. Now, we’re being honoured with the arrival of another member of the R&B royal family, SZA, who’s extended her knock-out SOS tour to the UK.
After selling out 17 cities in North America, SZA, or Solána Imani Rowe, will be taking her tracks on the road this summer for 10 European shows. Starting in June, the singer has booked four performances in the UK which includes four nights at the O2 Arena.
The 33-year-old will be performing some of the new hits from her album SOS, including Kill Bill and Shirt, as well as diving back into her back catalogue of songs with the likes of The Weekend and Love Galore.
If that wasn’t exciting enough, she’ll also be joined by the young British songwriter RAYE, who we’re big fans of at RadioTimes.com, and who’s heading out on her own tour this winter. Plus, SZA has the incredible habit of surprising her fans with the arrival of a big name, in the past she’s seen the likes of Phoebe Bridgers, Cardi B, Summer Walker and Lizzo join her mid-performance – so keep your eyes peeled!
As only her second album, the success of SOS is a testament to how talented a writer and performer SZA is. In 2013, the singer was signed to the record label Top Dawg Entertainment, and after just one year she was co-writing the song Feeling Myself with Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé. In 2016, she was featured on Rihanna's song Consideration and in 2018 she was nominated for an Oscar after collaborating with Kendrick Lamar on the Black Panther soundtrack.
Her own debut album Ctrl became the second longest-charting R&B album by a woman in history and even earned her a spot on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. So yeah, she’s a pretty awesome woman.
Now, she’s taking her latest album on tour, which by the way claimed 10 non-consecutive weeks at No.1 on the Billboard 200 chart – so you’d be mad to miss her. Here’s how you can grab a ticket.
