Accompanied by a full band and a talented vocal ensemble, Yebba delivers intimate performances that allow her songwriting and remarkable voice to take center stage.

Ultimate guide to Yebba's Jean Tour

The Jean Tour marks an exciting new chapter for Yebba, bringing her back on the road with her first full-length album in five years and a collection of songs that expand on the sound that made her one of contemporary soul's most celebrated vocalists.

Her latest album, Jean, is named in honor of her late grandmother and explores themes of forgiveness, healing and self-discovery. While her 2021 debut, Dawn, was heavily influenced by grief and the loss of her mother, Jean reflects the personal and artistic growth that has followed.

For longtime fans, the tour is also an opportunity to hear favorites from both albums in the same concert, with arrangements that draw on Yebba's roots in gospel, soul, R&B and jazz.

Yebba Jean Tour 2026 upcoming dates and schedule

Yebba's fall North American tour began October 24, 2026, at History in Toronto and is scheduled to conclude November 16 at The Fillmore Miami Beach in Florida.

Below are the remaining scheduled performances.

Who is opening for Yebba on the Jean Tour?

Astyn Turr is opening for Yebba on the Jean Tour, and fans will actually get to see her perform twice throughout the night.

The rising R&B and soul singer-songwriter kicks things off with her own set before returning to the stage as one of Yebba's backing vocalists. At the October 24 tour opener in Toronto, Turr performed songs from her debut album, Let Her, alongside covers and guitar-accompanied arrangements.

Turr also has experience performing alongside other prominent R&B artists, including Alex Isley, whom she accompanied during a 2025 NPR Tiny Desk Concert.

Yebba's touring vocal ensemble has also been identified as including Anilee List, a former American Idol contestant known for her soulful vocals, and Jermarcus Riggins, who appeared on Netflix's Building the Band. Together with Yebba's live band, the three singers add rich harmonies to the performances, particularly during songs influenced by gospel and soul music.

As for timing, Turr was scheduled to begin her opening set at 8 p.m. during the October 26 Montreal concert, with Yebba taking the stage approximately 70 minutes later. Exact schedules may vary by venue.

What time does Yebba go on stage?

Based on recent performances, Yebba typically takes the stage around 9:00–9:15 p.m. local time.

During the North American leg of her 2026 Jean Tour, Yebba began performing at approximately 9:10 p.m. at both the October 24 concert in Toronto and the October 26 show in Montreal.

That timing is consistent with her earlier European performances. Yebba took the stage at 9:05 p.m. in Manchester on August 25, 9:00 p.m. in Berlin on September 2 and 9:15 p.m. in Brussels on September 5.

How long is a Yebba concert?

Based on her recent Jean Tour performances, fans can expect Yebba's headlining set to last around an hour and a half.

Looking at a larger sample of 10 documented concerts across North America and Europe in 2026, Yebba's performances have ranged from 70 to 95 minutes, averaging approximately 83 minutes.

More recent performances on the fall North American leg have averaged approximately 90 minutes, making an hour and a half a reasonable expectation for upcoming concerts.

Keep in mind that this estimate covers Yebba's headlining performance only. Fans should allow additional time for Astyn Turr's opening set, venue entry and merchandise shopping.

Yebba Jean Tour 2026 setlist

Yebba's Jean Tour features a mix of fan favorites from Dawn, newer songs from Jean and earlier releases, with a few interesting changes to the running order throughout 2026.

One notable change is how Yebba has structured her recent North American concerts. While earlier European performances in Berlin, Paris and Brussels opened with "Far Away" and frequently ended with "Evergreen," the fall shows have featured "Stand" as the opener and moved "Evergreen" toward the beginning of the night.

Here's the 17-selection setlist from Yebba's October 26 concert in Montreal, which closely matches her October 24 Toronto performance and provides a useful reference for upcoming dates.

Although the exact setlist may change between concerts, the consistency of her recent performances gives fans a strong idea of which songs they're most likely to hear.

Does Yebba perform songs from Dawn on the Jean Tour?

Yes! Despite touring in support of her sophomore album, Jean, Yebba continues to feature plenty of music from her 2021 debut, Dawn.

Songs like "Boomerang," "Distance," "Louie Bag" and "Far Away" have appeared regularly throughout her 2026 performances, including concerts in Seattle, San Francisco, Berlin and Toronto.

For longtime fans, hearing these songs alongside material from Jean offers an opportunity to experience both chapters of Yebba's career in one concert.

Does Yebba sing "Evergreen" and "Yebba's Heartbreak" live?

Yep. Both songs have appeared during Yebba's 2026 Jean Tour, although their placement in the setlist has varied.

"Evergreen," one of Yebba's signature songs, has been a consistent part of her performances throughout the year. It closed several European concerts, including shows in Berlin and Brussels, before moving earlier in the setlist during the fall North American leg.

"Yebba's Heartbreak," her collaboration with Drake from his 2021 album Certified Lover Boy, has also made appearances. Rather than performing the song entirely on its own, Yebba has incorporated it into a medley with "Seven Years" from Jean.

Does Yebba perform Jean in full?

No. Although the tour supports her sophomore album, Jean, Yebba isn't performing the entire record from beginning to end.

Instead, she's mixing songs from Jean with fan favorites from Dawn and earlier releases. Recent performances have featured eight tracks from Jean, including "Waterfall," "Yellow Eyes," "Forgiveness," "Delicate Roots," "Of Course" and "Aggressive."

Other songs from the album, including "Alright," "West Memphis," "Different Light" and "Water & Wanderlust," haven't been part of the documented fall North American setlists. However, "Alright" appeared during an earlier European performance in Paris, showing that Yebba has made occasional changes to her song selections.

Does Yebba have an encore on the Jean Tour?

Yes, Yebba has been returning to the stage for an encore during her fall 2026 Jean Tour.

At her October 26 concert in Montreal, Yebba performed a three-song encore featuring "October Sky," "Paranoia Purple" and "How Many Years," all from her debut album, Dawn.

Her October 24 performance in Toronto also featured "October Sky" and "Paranoia Purple" during the encore, although "How Many Years" wasn't included in the documented setlist.

While encore selections may vary between concerts, fans shouldn't assume the show is over when Yebba finishes "Earth, Wind & California," which has recently served as the final song of the main set.

What is Yebba's Jean Tour production like?

Yebba's Jean Tour puts the focus on live music, powerful vocals and the emotional connection she creates with her audience. Rather than relying on elaborate choreography or massive stage effects, the production gives her voice and supporting musicians plenty of room to shine.

Backed by a full live band and a group of talented vocalists, Yebba brings new arrangements to familiar songs while incorporating the gospel, soul and R&B influences that run throughout her music.

Songs like "Distance" and "October Sky" give audiences a chance to appreciate her more vulnerable performances, while "Boomerang" and "Aggressive" bring a livelier sound to the concert.

When should you arrive for Yebba's concert?

If you're attending Yebba's Jean Tour, arriving around the venue's advertised door time is a good starting point, especially if you have general admission tickets and want to get a spot close to the stage.

Door times have varied throughout the tour. At Toronto's History on October 24, doors opened at 7 p.m., while Montreal's L'Olympia opened at 6:30 p.m. For the October 31 concert at The Anthem in Washington, DC, doors were advertised for 6:30 p.m., with the show scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.

Getting there early gives you time to clear security, check out the merchandise and catch Astyn Turr's opening performance. If you're hoping to stand near the front of a general admission floor, consider arriving before doors open, subject to the venue's queuing policies.

What should you bring to a Yebba concert?

Before heading to Yebba's Jean Tour, make sure you have your mobile ticket, a fully charged phone, a valid photo ID and a payment card for merchandise or refreshments.

Comfortable shoes are especially important if you're attending a general admission show. Venues such as Brooklyn Paramount and The National in Richmond feature standing-room areas, meaning you could be on your feet for several hours between the opening act and Yebba's performance.

Earplugs are also worth bringing, particularly if you plan to stand near the stage or speakers. A portable phone charger can come in handy if you're taking photos or videos throughout the evening.

Bag policies vary by venue, so check the rules before leaving home. Some locations have strict size restrictions or prohibit certain types of bags, and you don't want to get held up at security because of something you could have left behind.

What should you wear to Yebba's Jean Tour?

There's no official dress code for Yebba's Jean Tour, so fans can wear whatever makes them feel comfortable and confident.

Given Yebba's blend of soul, R&B and gospel, anything from a casual jeans-and-sneakers outfit to a more dressed-up concert look will fit right in. If you're looking for inspiration, earth tones, denim, layered outfits and vintage-inspired pieces are all great options.

Since the tour runs through November, consider the weather in your city, especially if you plan to wait outside before doors open.
