Josh Groban's GEMS World Tour reaches North American fans on May 30, when general ticket sales open at 10:00 AM local time for a run that stretches from June 2 through July 3, 2026. Jennifer Hudson is joining him as a special guest on the arena leg, which covers about 25 dates across major U.S. and Canadian venues.
That timing matters because this is the first full-scale touring push from Groban in ten years, after a stretch that leaned more heavily on theatrical work and television appearances. The new run is built around GEMS, the career-spanning album he released on May 2, 2025, a 18-track set that included new songs like “Be Alright” and “Open Hands,” with a Deluxe Edition following in June 2025. For fans searching now, the window is immediate: tickets go live today, and the tour starts less than two weeks later.
The itinerary gives the announcement real weight. It opens June 2 at Place Bell in Laval, Quebec, then moves to Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on June 4, TD Garden in Boston on June 6 and Madison Square Garden in New York on June 12 before crossing to Ball Arena in Denver on July 1 and ending at Maverik Center in West Valley City, Utah, on July 3. The sales rollout also underlines how broad the demand could be, with the arena run touching both Canadian and American markets in a short summer span.
Groban arrives at this moment with a catalog built for the format. His first four solo albums went multi-platinum, he was the number-one best-selling artist in the United States in 2007, and his career has brought Tony, Emmy and Grammy nominations along with 35 million albums sold worldwide. That makes GEMS less a greatest-hits gesture than a reminder of how much of his audience has waited for a return to big rooms.
There is still one detail fans will be watching closely: the tour is being framed as a major North American arena run, but full venue-by-venue pricing and every stop have not been laid out in one place. The broad outline is enough for now, though. Tickets are on sale, Jennifer Hudson is on the bill, and Groban's next chapter on stage begins June 2.
