Erykah Badu’s planned performance in Sofia, originally slated for October 23, 2026, has been rescheduled to January 25, 2027, by organizers of her European tour. The change, announced on Tuesday, comes as the singer’s itinerary has been adjusted to accommodate other dates on the IMeHo European tour, which now includes venues in Milan (January 15), Paris (January 20), Sofia (January 25), and Katowice (January 27).
The National Palace of Culture will host the revised Sofia concert, a venue that has been used for major cultural events in the city. Organizers thanked the audience for their patience and support, noting that many fans have already purchased tickets for the original date.
In addition to the rescheduling, Badu highlighted her gratitude toward her listeners, expressing excitement at the opportunity to perform at each of the new dates. The artist, known for her leadership in the neo‑soul movement, has earned five Grammy Awards and received 20 nominations throughout her career.
Her recent achievements include receiving the Icon Award at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music ceremony and releasing a collaborative album with producer The Alchemist, titled Before the World Blows: The Abi and Alan Experiment, earlier this year. These milestones have helped sustain her popularity across Europe, making each concert outside the United States highly anticipated by international audiences.
While the rescheduled concert will bring Erykah Badu's voice to a wider audience, it will also create logistical adjustments for fans and local organizers. Those who purchased tickets for the October 23 date are expected to receive refunds or a credit toward the new date, although specific procedures have not yet been detailed by the venue. The change indicates the flexible nature of touring schedules in response to shifting demands and travel arrangements.
Overall, the new January 25 date renews enthusiasm for Badu’s European tour, reaffirming her commitment to delivering performances that resonate across diverse audiences, while simultaneously respecting the logistical complexities involved in a worldwide touring schedule.
