Jacob Banks: Yonder Tour 2026

Jacob Banks brings the Yonder Tour 2026 to Vancouver on January 24, 2026 at the Commodore Ballroom. Born in Nigeria and raised in the UK, he honed his writing in Birmingham, building a sound that draws from soul, R&B and pop with echoes of gospel. His deep, grainy voice sits over arrangements that mix guitars, brass and subtle electronic textures, often with a cinematic feel.

He introduced himself with the EPs The Monologue (2013) and The Paradox (2015), then The Boy Who Cried Freedom (2017). Village (2018) marked his first full-length, balancing slow-burning ballads, more driven tracks and a modern blues edge. In 2022, Lies About The War pushed toward a leaner approach, giving more room to guitars and stacked vocals without losing his sense of dynamics.

Regularly on the road across the UK, Europe and North America, Banks moves easily between club sets, festival stages and support slots. For this date at the Commodore Ballroom, he digs through early EP cuts and highlights from Village and Lies About The War, shaping a set that shifts between intimate pauses and grounded grooves, tailored to the room and the night.
