Jill Scott « To Whom This May Concern 2026 Tour »

Jill Scott brings her To Whom This May Concern 2026 Tour to O2 Apollo in Manchester on 1 October 2026. Raised on the poetry cafés of Philadelphia, the singer and writer shaped the neo‑soul moment at the turn of the 2000s by threading classic soul with contemporary R&B, jazz inflections and spoken word. Before stepping out front she co‑wrote You Got Me for The Roots, then opened her discography with Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1 in 2000, followed by Vol. 2 in 2004 and Vol. 3 in 2007, a run that set the tone for her voice‑first, story‑driven live shows, captured early on by Experience: Jill Scott 826+.

Through The Light of the Sun (2011) and Woman (2015), she leaned into jazz, funk and gospel colours, carried by warm arrangements and expressive phrasing. On stage, that blend turns into textured grooves, intimate ballads and spoken interludes, with a band that leaves space for her storytelling. This date offers a tour through the catalogue and the collaborations that have marked her path across soul and hip‑hop, with the Philadelphia spirit never far from the surface.
