Jacob Banks: Yonder Tour 2026

Jacob Banks brings his Yonder Tour 2026 to Danforth Music Hall in Toronto on January 29, 2026. Born in Nigeria and raised in Birmingham, the singer and songwriter shaped his voice on the UK scene, moving between soul, R&B, pop and gospel influences. His deep baritone sits in arrangements with a cinematic edge, mixing guitars, brass and discreet electronic textures.

Spotted with the EPs The Monologue (2013) and The Paradox (2015), he followed with The Boy Who Cried Freedom (2017) before releasing his debut album Village (2018), where slow-burn ballads meet more rhythmic tracks and shades of modern blues. In 2022, Lies About The War leaned into a stripped-back writing style, pushing guitars and choral layers to the front. Regular touring across the UK, Europe and North America has shaped a live set that draws widely from this catalogue: intimate songs, heavier grooves and gospel-tinged pieces carried by that low, textured voice. On this Toronto date, the Yonder Tour lines up a focused, band-driven show that puts the songs at the center.
