Erykah Badu has four IMEHO shows in Europe set for January 2027, in Milan, Paris, Sofia and Katowice. In Paris, the new Zénith date follows a canceled Grand Rex show, while Milan, Sofia and Katowice are listed as new dates for earlier shows. Pollstar reported the four January dates on Nov. 9, 2026. Her official tour page lists Paris, Sofia and Katowice with ticket links, and the Milan date is posted by the city's promoter, JAZZMI, and Ticketmaster Italy.

The new dates

- January 15, 2027: Milan, Teatro Dal Verme

- January 20, 2027: Paris, Zénith Paris - La Villette

Bulgarian National Radio reports that several shows planned for October 2026 were postponed because of unforeseen circumstances.

What happens to existing tickets

It depends on the city, so check with the outlet you bought from.

- Paris: AEG Presents France says the show was first set for the Grand Rex on Oct. 18, 2026, and had to be canceled. Tickets for the Grand Rex date are not valid for the Zénith, and buyers should contact their point of sale before Feb. 16, 2027, for a refund. New tickets went on sale Nov. 6, 2026.

- Sofia: Bulgarian National Radio reports that tickets already bought stay valid for Jan. 25, 2027, with refunds available through Dec. 9, 2026. E-ticket and TicketDirect buyers request them from Eventim by email with their order number.

- Milan: JAZZMI tells ticket holders to ask the outlet where they bought for details on validity. Tickets for Jan. 15, 2027, go on sale Nov. 11, 2026, at noon.

- Katowice: promoter Agencja Perspektywy lists Jan. 27, 2027, as the new date for a show first announced for Oct. 25, 2026. Its page does not say how existing tickets are handled.

The show

The Katowice promoter describes IMEHO, billed as "An Intimate Experience with Erykah Badu," as an improvised set where no two nights repeat, played with three musicians on keys, bass and percussion, including longtime pianist RC Williams. AEG's page also points to her latest album with The Alchemist, Before The World Blows, released August 28.
