NEED TO KNOW
Josh Groban and Jennifer Hudson are finding perfect harmony on the road!
The singers announced on Tuesday, Dec. 16 that they’re set to tour together this summer, and will head to 16 arenas around North America in June and July.
Groban and Hudson, both 44, shared the news on an episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, teasing the audience with a special “secret” they were both keeping.
“We might have the same secret, which I think we should tell people, which is that this summer, this extraordinary, extraordinary, one of the greatest vocalists who’s ever lived, one of the most amazing people on the planet…has graciously agreed to come out on the road with me,” Groban said. “We’re gonna be touring!”
The “You Raise Me Up” singer added that he was “honored” to hit the road with Hudson, and even teased all of the “duet possibilities” between the two, who have a combined 14 Grammy nominations.
“This can’t be my life, but I am so excited. It is such an honor,” Hudson said. “One of the greatest vocalists in the world.”

The tour, which is billed as “two legendary voices, one unforgettable evening,” kicks off June 2 in Montreal, and will stop in major cities like New York City, Boston and Nashville before wrapping in July.
It comes following Groban’s previously announced dates on his GEMS World Tour, which will take him to Hawaii, Asia, Oceania and Europe from February through April.
“Performing live has always been one of the greatest joys of my life, and getting to share these nights with Jennifer, someone I admire so deeply, makes it all the more special,” Groban said in a statement. “These shows are going to be emotional, celebratory, and full of surprises. I can’t wait to see everyone this summer.”
Groban released the album Hidden Gems in November, a collection of rarities, deep cuts and previously unreleased tracks, including the song “The Constant.” Hudson, meanwhile, released her last album, the holiday record The Gift of Love, in 2024.
Ticket pre-sales will begin on Wednesday, Dec. 17 at 10 a.m. local, and the general on-sale starts Friday, Dec. 19 at 10 a.m. local. One dollar from every ticket sold will be donated to Groban’s Find Your Light Foundation, which he launched to support arts education for children in underserved communities.
