Norah Jones Announces 2019 Summer Tour
John Davisson – Norah Jones
Stagecoach, Empire Polo Field, Indio, Calif.
Norah Jones announced a summer tour Monday that will take her to venues throughout North America.
The Grammy-winning artist begins her trek at Pittsburgh’s Heinz Hall on June 18 and concludes August 2 at Anchorage’s Bear Tooth Theatrepub. The dates follow an April tour of Australia and New Zealand.
Jones’ itinerary leans heavily on markets in the Mountain States and is anchored by a July 16 gig at Colorado’s Red Rocks, where R&B legend Mavis Staples will serve as opener.
Jones last headlined Red Rocks in 2017, when she earned a spot on Pollstar‘s Year End Top 200 North American Tours with a gross of $5 million. Her 2017 theater tour took her to traditional venues, including the Chicago Theater, where she sold 6,924 tickets for a gross of $478,067 over two nights, and Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, where she sold 2,277 tickets for a gross of $154,836.
In June, Jones will play multiple jazz festivals, including Montreal’s Festival International de Jazz de Montreal and Saratoga Springs, N.Y.’s Freihofer’s Saratoga Jazz Festival.
Her July dates take her off the beaten path, to venues in Cheyenne, Wyo.; Bozeman, Mont.; Spokane, Wash. and Aspen, Colorado. And Jones’ tour-concluding performances in Juneau and Anchorage mark her first-ever Alaskan gigs.
Jones released her sixth and most recent album, Day Breaks, in 2016. Last year, she released multiple one-off singles, including two collaborations with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy.
Tickets for Jones’ tour go on sale February 1 at 10 a.m. local time, with some exceptions. Find her itinerary below.
