R&B singer-songwriter Ravyn Lenae has officially announced a headlining tour for Autumn 2025, signaling a new chapter in her fast-rising career. The Chicago-born artist will kick off the 20-date tour on October 6 at The Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, with performances spanning the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. The tour will conclude on November 6 in Cologne, Germany, marking Lenae’s most ambitious international run to date.
The announcement comes on the heels of the success of Lenae’s sophomore album, Bird’s Eye, released in August 2024. The album, praised for its genre-blending sound and lyrical vulnerability, has solidified Lenae’s position as one of the most innovative voices in contemporary R&B. Featuring collaborations with artists such as Ty Dolla $ign, Childish Gambino, and Nigerian alté singer Tems, Bird’s Eye has been celebrated for its experimental production and emotionally resonant songwriting.
Tracks like “Love Me Not,” “One Wish,” and “Distance” have become fan favorites, with critics highlighting Lenae’s seamless transitions between soulful ballads and uptempo funk-infused tracks. The album’s fusion of electronic, jazz, and neo-soul elements has earned it comparisons to landmark projects by artists like Solange and FKA twigs. Its success on streaming platforms and strong critical reviews have made Bird’s Eye a defining release of the past year.
In addition to her headlining tour, Ravyn Lenae is slated to perform at several high-profile music festivals during the summer of 2025. She will return to her hometown stage for Lollapalooza in Chicago, a festival that has long supported rising talent in the alternative and R&B scenes. She is also scheduled to appear at the Love Supreme Jazz Festival in East Sussex, U.K., a fitting venue for her jazz-influenced vocal style and improvisational energy.
Beyond her own tour and festival stops, Lenae will join pop star Sabrina Carpenter as a supporting act on select dates of Carpenter’s extended Short n’ Sweet tour. Lenae is expected to open for Carpenter during performances in Toronto and Los Angeles in November 2025. The pairing presents an opportunity for crossover exposure, as Lenae brings her unique artistry to broader, mainstream pop audiences.
The Autumn 2025 tour will take Lenae to major cities including Portland, Seattle, Brooklyn, Washington, D.C., Manchester, London, and Paris. Many of the venues are intimate theaters and historic music halls, chosen to enhance the immersive experience of her live performances. Known for her atmospheric staging and smooth vocal delivery, Lenae’s concerts are expected to showcase the full emotional and sonic range of Bird’s Eye.
Lenae’s team has emphasized the tour’s focus on visual storytelling and audience connection. Each concert is being designed to create a multidimensional experience, with custom lighting, set design, and arrangements that reinterpret the album’s studio versions for a live setting. Fans can also expect unreleased material and reimagined versions of songs from her debut album, Hypnos, which first brought her critical acclaim in 2022.
In a statement accompanying the tour announcement, Lenae expressed excitement about connecting with fans across continents. “This album was about seeing the world—and myself—from a higher perspective. Now I get to bring that vision to life, city by city. I can’t wait to share these moments with everyone who’s been part of this journey.”
Since first gaining recognition through her collaborations with artists like Noname and Smino, Ravyn Lenae has steadily carved out a niche that blends ethereal production with lyrical intimacy. Her artistry continues to evolve with each release, and the Autumn 2025 tour is poised to be a significant milestone in her career.
Tickets for the tour are expected to go on sale in early June, with pre-sale options available to fans subscribed to Lenae’s official newsletter and social media platforms.
