Leon Bridges is bringing his new tour home. The Fort Worth-raised singer will headline Dickies Arena on April 23, 2027, as part of a 30-show North American run supporting his fifth album, Happiness Anytime.
The concert is part of the Happiness Anytime Tour, which Bridges announced in support of the album, according to Consequence. The North American leg opens April 7 at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas and wraps September 29 in Phoenix, as reported by JamBase. In between, the singer is set to visit Austin and Houston, giving Texas fans three chances to catch the run, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
For the Fort Worth date, Bridges will be joined by The Womack Sisters and Mari Froes, who are both scheduled to perform at Dickies Arena, per the Star-Telegram. Mari Froes is also set to open the Fort Worth, Toronto and New York City stops on the tour, per JamBase's reporting.
New Album Blends Brazilian, Afrobeat and Disco Influences
Happiness Anytime, released September 25 through Columbia Records, is Bridges' fifth solo album and draws on Brazilian music, South American rhythms, Afrobeat, soul and disco, according to the Fort Worth Report. The Star-Telegram describes it as a Latin-inspired record. It follows a catalog that includes his 2015 breakout debut Coming Home, 2018's Good Thing, 2021's Gold-Diggers Sound and 2024's Leon, per the Star-Telegram's account of his career.
The tour's reach extends well beyond Texas. Bridges will make his headlining debut at Madison Square Garden in New York City on May 1, 2027, according to The Music Universe. He's also booked for the KettleHouse Amphitheater in Bonner, Montana, on August 21, 2027, with London-based Afrobeat and jazz collective Kokoroko as special guest, per Logjam Presents. Supporting acts across the broader run include The Womack Sisters, Rachel Chinouriri, Mari Froes, Kokoroko, Peter Cat Recording Co. and El Michels Affair, according to Pollstar. Beyond North America, the tour continues into Australia in February and March 2027, with outdoor stops planned at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt, Brisbane's On the Banks and Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens, as noted by Chugg Entertainment.
Ticket Sale Dates and a Hometown Cause
Artist presales for the tour begin October 13 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by venue and local presales October 14, according to JamBase's reporting. The Star-Telegram adds that presale tickets will go on sale through Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. on October 14 and remain available through 10 p.m. the following day, with the presale requiring an unlock code. General public tickets go on sale October 16 at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster and Bridges' website, per Consequence's reporting.
One dollar from each ticket sold for the headlining concerts will benefit The Big Good, a Texas-focused nonprofit co-founded by Bridges, according to the same JamBase report.
A Hometown Welcome Two Years in the Making
Fort Worth has already rolled out the red carpet for its native son. City leaders formally declared November 15, 2024, as Leon Bridges Day during his sold-out Dickies Arena debut that year, according to the Fort Worth Report. Mayor Mattie Parker presented Bridges with a city proclamation that November, per the Star-Telegram, and the city unveiled street sign toppers honoring him on South Calhoun Street in 2025.
Bridges, 37, was born in Atlanta but raised in Fort Worth, according to the Star-Telegram's account, and worked as a dishwasher at Del Frisco's Grille before his music career took off. He rose to fame in 2015 following the release of his debut album, Coming Home, setting the stage for a decade-plus run that now brings him back to the arena stage in his hometown next spring.
