Kehlani is heading back on the road in summer 2026, and Durand Bernarr will serve as the main support act on the run. The announcement comes months after Kehlani finished the Crash World Tour earlier in 2025, a stretch that took her across North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania.
The move gives Bernarr another major platform just after a breakthrough year. He won his first Grammy Award at the 2026 Grammys for Best Progressive R&B Album for BLOOM and was also nominated for Best R&B Song for Overqualified and Best Traditional R&B Performance for Here We Are. On May 1, he followed that up with BERNARR, an album featuring Raphael Saadiq, Khalid, James Fauntleroy and Vic Mensa.
Bernarr celebrated the news on social media with a message that made his excitement plain: “Now the road REALLY won’t turn me loose! I’m beyond excited to be joining my frennnnnnn on tour!!!! Thank you so much @kehlani for this opportunity and I guarantee it’s gonna be a dope experience! See y’all on the road,” he wrote. Kehlani did not disclose dates, cities or venues for the summer 2026 tour, keeping the itinerary under wraps for now.
The pairing fits Kehlani’s pattern of bringing emerging and established R&B voices onto her tours. She has previously featured openers including FLO, Destin Conrad and Anycia, giving her road shows an added showcase for artists with their own growing followings.
For now, the announcement answers one question and leaves another open: Kehlani is returning to the road in 2026, and Bernarr will be with her when she does. The next detail fans are waiting for is where the tour will actually land.
Correction: a previous version of this story incorrectly identified B.Slade as deceased. B.Slade is alive.
