Anita Baker -- the eight-time Grammy winner, the voice behind Rapture, the architect of an entire branch of grown-folks R&B -- has been hinting that more live shows are coming. After a long-running Farewell Concert Series and the successful return run that proved she was nowhere near done, the Detroit-born songstress dropped a microphone emoji and a globe emoji on social media in late 2025 and broke the internet. Fans took it as exactly what it looked like: tour news on the way.
This page is the spot to track Anita Baker tour announcements for 2027. While no 2027 dates have hit the schedule just yet, recent runs have packed amphitheaters and arenas across the country, and the demand for Anita on stage has only grown since she came back from her original retirement announcement. Check back here for updates, and we will post all upcoming dates as soon as they are announced.
What makes an Anita Baker show worth holding out for? The voice. That contralto -- warm, controlled, devastating on a ballad and electric on the uptempo numbers -- is one of the most distinctive instruments in popular music. The hits run deep: Sweet Love, Caught Up in the Rapture, Giving You the Best That I Got, No One in the World, Body and Soul, You Bring Me Joy, and the entire Rapture catalog that helped define what sophisticated R&B sounded like in the 1980s. According to coverage on Billboard, she remains one of the most-streamed legacy R&B artists working today.
Her live shows have always emphasized a full band, jazz-trained musicians, and the kind of intimate stage presentation that turns even a 15,000-seat arena into something that feels closer than it should. According to the setlist.fm Anita Baker archive, her recent tours have averaged 14-16 songs per night, deeply curated and immaculately performed. There are no opening acts she leans on -- the show is her show, beginning to end.

Anita Baker: The Voice That Defined Grown-Folks R&B
Born in Toledo, Ohio in 1958 and raised in Detroit, Anita Baker got her start singing in church choirs before joining the Detroit funk group Chapter 8 in the late 1970s. Her solo debut The Songstress arrived in 1983 and quietly established her as one of the most distinctive new R&B voices of the decade. Then 1986's Rapture happened -- the platinum-on-platinum, Grammy-collecting album that produced Sweet Love, Caught Up in the Rapture, You Bring Me Joy, and the title track. The record sold over 8 million copies in the United States alone and remade what an R&B album could be.
The albums that followed -- Giving You the Best That I Got (1988), Compositions (1990), Rhythm of Love (1994), My Everything (2004), and Christmas Fantasy (2005) -- continued to win Grammys and pack rooms across the country. According to her Wikipedia entry, she has won eight Grammy Awards across her career and has been inducted into the Apollo Theater's Legends Hall of Fame.
Her 2018 announcement of a Farewell Concert Series brought sold-out shows across the United States -- arenas, amphitheaters, and casino theaters all moving inventory in hours. Then, like other legends who have made and unmade the word "farewell" (Cher and Elton John among them), Baker quietly came back. The 2023-2024 return run was met with rapturous reviews. Rolling Stone covered the campaign extensively, noting that her voice was as poised and resonant as it ever was.
Late 2025 brought new signals from Anita herself: a retweet of a fan-shot concert clip and a pair of emojis -- the microphone and the globe -- that the fanbase immediately read as a 2026 or 2027 world tour announcement coming soon. Industry whispers have suggested new music could arrive in tandem with any tour announcement. Until things are official, this page will be the first stop for the announcement.
