Erykah Badu’s Sofia Show Rescheduled to January 25

Erykah Badu’s highly-anticipated concert in Sofia, initially slated for October 23, 2026, will now take place on January 25, 2027, the organisers announced on Tuesday.
The change, according to the National Palace of Culture, was necessary to accommodate alterations in the stylist’s IMeHo European tour itinerary.
The updated tour dates announced alongside the rescheduling are January 15 in Milan, January 20 in Paris, January 25 in Sofia, and January 27 in Katowice.
Badu’s fans were thanked for their understanding and support by the organisers, who expressed excitement about performing in each of the four European cities.
The American singer, a key name in the neo‑soul movement, is a five‑time Grammy Award winner and has received twenty nominations throughout her career.
She was recently recognised with the Billboard Women in Music Icon Award in 2025.
In late August 2025, Badu released a collaborative album, "Before the World Blows: The Abi and Alan Experiment", with producer The Alchemist.
Badu’s official statement did not elaborate on the exact reasons for the itinerary shift beyond the need to harmonise with the IMeHo tour plan.
The National Palace of Culture is slated to host the Sofia concert at the same venue that carried the event in the past.
The shift to January 25, 2027 means that Dutch and Greek fans who had booked for the original October date may need to adjust.
Tickets remain on sale for the new date and for the other tour stops, with no further price changes reported by the organisers.
The announcement came amid a broader trend of headline artists reshuffling European tours due to logistical challenges.
According to the organisers, no additional dates have been confirmed beyond Milan, Paris and Katowice.
The post‑rescheduling communication emphasised solidarity with fans, stating, "We appreciate every one of you who has shown support and understand the inconvenience caused by this delay."
The broader IMeHo tour, which includes stops across Europe, reflects Badu’s continued relevance in the global music scene.

The line-up for the upcoming concert in Sofia remains unchanged, featuring Badu’s established neo‑soul repertoire and recent collaborations.
The organiser’s statement ended with a note of anticipation, remarking that the artist looks forward to connecting with audiences in each highlighted city.

Uncertainties that remain:
The organisers have indicated that the revised schedule is final at the moment but acknowledge that further adjustments could arise.
Only the episodes of the IMeHo tour that have been publicly announced are confirmed.
The official line‑up and set‑list for the Sofia concert have not yet been released.
