In brief
Erykah Badu will now perform in Sofia on January 25, 2027, after the October 23 date was canceled. The National Palace of Culture will host the singer as part of her updated IMeHo European tour, which also includes stops in Milan, Paris and Katowice. Fans are thanked for their support.
U.S. neo‑soul icon Erykah Badu’s highly‑anticipated concert in Sofia, originally slated for October 23, 2026, has been pushed to January 25, 2027, according to the organizers and the Bulgarian Tourist Agency (BTA). The event will be held at the National Palace of Culture in the capital.
The postponement follows last month’s announcement by Badu’s management that her IMeHo European tour itinerary would be revised, causing a cancellation of several previously planned shows, including the Sofia venue. The new European dates now list Milan for January 15, 2027, Paris on January 20, and Katowice on January 27, with Sofia positioned as the final stop of the series.
“Erykah appreciates her fans’ understanding and support, and looks forward to performing in each of these cities,” the BTA spokesperson said in a statement. The agency thanked concertgoers for their patience as the artist’s schedule was adjusted.
Badu, a five‑time Grammy winner, is celebrated for pioneering the neo‑soul genre. In 2025 she received the Billboard Women in Music Icon Award, and she recently released a collaborative album with producer The Alchemist titled Before the World Blows: The Abi and Alan Experiment. Fans can now mark their calendars for January 25 to experience Badu’s live performance in Sofia after the rescheduling of her tour.
