R&B Superstar GIVĒON Announces New Headlining Tour
Seven-time GRAMMY® nominated R&B superstar GIVĒON has formally announced his brand-new headlining tour, ‘Dear Beloved, The Tour’, on the heels of the release of his sophomore studio album, BELOVED, available now. BELOVED, released on July 11, marks the second of GIVĒON’s albums to debut within the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 (#8), and his first solo studio album to achieve the feat (When It’s All Said and Done… Take Time). The 14-track set currently sits at #1 on Current R&B Albums Chart, as well as #1 on Apple Music’s R&B Chart and #3 on Overall.
The tour, produced by Live Nation, will kick off in Seattle, WA on Wed, Oct. 1 and stretch until Nov. 6 at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden. Along the way, Dear Beloved will make stops in GIVĒON’s hometown of Los Angeles at The Greek Theatre, and include nights in Chicago, Las Vegas, Detroit, and Washington D.C. The trek will also make two stops in Canada: Oct. 2 in Vancouver and Oct. 27 in Toronto. Special guests Free Nationals, Charlotte Day Wilson, and Sasha Keable will join GIVĒON on select dates throughout the tour.
TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with an artist presale beginning today at 11am PT. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning Friday, July 25 at 10am local at giveonofficial.com.
VIP: The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, exclusive VIP only gift item, early entry into the venue, pre-show merch shopping & more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected.

Dear Beloved, The Tour will be GIVĒON’s third headlining tour and mark the end of a three-year hiatus from touring, following his breakout tour in 2021, Timeless Tour, and 2022’s Give or Take Tour. The singer’s return to stage mirrors his return to the booth; BELOVED marks GIVĒON’s first studio album since 2022’s Give or Take. His comeback campaign has been champagne-worthy, with a four-star review from Rolling Stone and critical acclaim from Variety, Associated Press, UPROXX, Hypebeast and more.
Though Dear Beloved doesn’t kick off until October, GIVĒON has already made international headlines with his renewed stage presence. Earlier this month, Drake brought him out as a special guest at Wireless Festival in the UK. GIVĒONfeatured on Drake’s “Chicago Freestyle” in 2021, which contributed significantly to the singer’s star turn.
“How this album is going to translate to the live show – I think it’s going to be magical because the album was made live, so it’s made to be performed live,” GIVĒON told Rolling Stone earlier this month. “It’s going to be my best tour. I want to do strings, I want to do horns, I want to do background vocals, so I feel like [I’ll have] a full eight to 10 piece [backing band], depending on how big the stages are. The album is really a movie, it’s a world, and I want the night to feel like that.”
