John Legend is set to bring holiday cheer across the U.S. once again with the announcement of 11 dates for his highly anticipated “A Legendary Christmas Tour.” Fans will have the opportunity to experience the magic of his acclaimed 2018 holiday album, A Legendary Christmas, live on stage this festive season.
The tour, revealed exclusively through People, will commence on December 2nd in Highland, California. Subsequent stops include locations across California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Oklahoma, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland, promising a widespread festive experience for fans across the nation.
Legend expressed his vision for the tour, stating, “My hope for these shows is that they feel like a gathering of friends by the fireside — where the music brings warmth, joy, and a sense of togetherness.” This intimate and heartwarming atmosphere is what he aims to create for audiences throughout the Christmas season.
Reflecting on the personal significance of the holidays, Legend shared, “Over the years, I’ve experienced the holidays in so many ways, and each version of me — from my childhood to now as a father — has shaped the way I approach this season.” He aims to take concert-goers on a journey through these holiday experiences, sharing stories and songs that capture both the celebratory spirit and the intimate moments of connection that define this time of year. He hopes audiences will leave feeling “part of something warm, familiar, and special.”

Attendees can expect not just musical performances but also personal storytelling from Legend, offering glimpses into his life with his wife, Chrissy Teigen, and their four children. Musically, accompanied by a four-piece band, Legend will perform tracks from A Legendary Christmas. The album, which reached No. 22 on the Billboard 200 chart in 2020, features both original holiday songs and beloved covers of Christmas classics such as “Silver Bells” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” Notably, the album was produced by music icons Stevie Wonder and Raphael Saadiq, adding to its prestige and quality.
For those eager to secure their place at these festive concerts, a presale ticket window opens at 10 a.m. local time on Monday, October 7th via John Legend’s official website. Tickets will then become available to the general public starting at 10 a.m. local time on Wednesday, October 9th.
This tour marks a revival of the “A Legendary Christmas” concept, following Legend’s 2018 tour in support of the same album, which spanned 25 dates. More recently, Legend released My Favorite Dream, a children’s album featuring collaborations with Teigen and their children, Luna and Miles, showcasing his commitment to family and music across different genres.
In a statement regarding his children’s album, Legend expressed, “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.” This personal touch and dedication to sharing music and stories are what fans can anticipate experiencing at “A Legendary Christmas Tour” this December.
