Brent Faiyaz to Return for Three-City Arena Tour November–December

After three years away from U.S. stages, GRAMMY-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, and entrepreneur Brent Faiyaz is returning to the road this November and December for 'Brent Faiyaz Live: I Spent The Night With Brent Faiyaz,' an exclusive three-city arena tour across Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles, presented by Encore Live.

The three-city run marks Faiyaz's first U.S. headlining performances since 2023, giving fans in three of the country's biggest music markets their first opportunity in years to experience his acclaimed catalog and latest era live.

'I'm excited to get back onstage again. Being in the room with the fans, feeling the energy back and forth, that's something you can't recreate anywhere else. I took my time with ICON because I wanted it to mean something, and now I get to bring it to the people who rode with me through all of it,' said Brent Faiyaz.

The run kicks off November 30 at Chicago's United Center, followed by December 3 at Barclays Center in New York, before culminating on December 11 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

The announcement arrives during another defining chapter in Faiyaz's career. With more than 13 billion streams, over 22 million monthly listeners, and 37 RIAA certifications – including 18 Platinum and 19 Gold certifications – Faiyaz has built a global audience while maintaining the fiercely independent creative approach that has become a hallmark of his career.

His critically acclaimed 2026 album, ICON, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top R&B Albums chart and No. 6 on the Billboard 200, while simultaneously placing six songs on the Billboard Hot 100. Executive produced by Raphael Saadiq, the album expands the sonic world and artistic perspective that have established Faiyaz as a defining voice in contemporary R&B.

Apple Music has hailed Faiyaz as 'one of [R&B's] standard-bearers,' praising the honest lyrics, soothing voice, and versatile production that have defined his work. Billboard previously dubbed him 'The Fearless Lyricist,' spotlighting his 'nimble, fearless writing,' while HotNewHipHop described him as both a 'cult favorite and mainstream R&B disruptor.'

ICON follows a remarkable run for Faiyaz. His 2022 album WASTELAND debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, earning his first Top 10 album and generating more than 107 million on-demand streams in its opening week. The project further established Faiyaz as a commercial force without sacrificing the uncompromising approach to music, ownership and artistry that has set him apart.

Now, following the release of ICON and ICON (Director's Cut), Faiyaz brings that evolution back to U.S. stages.

'I Spent The Night With Brent Faiyaz' will draw from his expansive catalog, pairing fan favorites including 'Clouded,' 'Dead Man Walking,' 'Wasting Time,' 'All Mine,' and 'WY@' to the latest chapter of ICON, including 'have to.,' 'butterflies.,' 'wrong faces.' and 'other side.'

More than a traditional tour stop, the three-night-only run is designed as an intimate encounter on an arena scale, bringing Faiyaz's atmospheric production, unmistakable vocals, and cinematic storytelling into an immersive live setting.
