John Legend announced that he will embark on ‘A John Legend Christmas Tour’ across the U.S. this holiday season.

The 12-date tour will kick off Dec. 2 with a performance in Highland, Calif., followed by stops in Los Angeles, CA; Seattle, WA; Portland, OR, Atlanta, GA; and Atlantic City, NJ before wrapping in Hanover, MD on December 21st.

Legend said exclusively via People: “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. 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. I want to share that journey with the audience, through songs and stories that celebrate both the festive spirit and the moments that bring us closer. I hope people leave feeling like they’ve been part of something warm, familiar, and special.”

Legend, performing alongside a four-piece-band, will deliver holiday classics from his hit album, A Legendary Christmas, including “This Christmas,” “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” “Silver Bells,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” and “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire).” The evening will also feature Legend’s signature storytelling as he reflects on his career, life, and stories behind the music.
