R&B stars Ne-Yo and Akon team up for 2026 tour with stop in Houston
Ne-Yo will go on tour with Akon in 2026, which will include a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion on August 8.
R&B singers Ne-Yo and Akon will team up for a co-headlining tour in 2026 called Nights Like This, which will include a stop at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on Sunday, August 9.
After a 20-city European leg to start the tour, the two singers will start their 37-city U.S./Canada leg on June 17 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
In addition to Houston, the tour will stop in Dallas on August 8 and Austin on August 11.
Ne-Yo and Akon will share the stage at each stop, engaging in a back-and-forth set throughout the show stacked with their hits, sing-along anthems, and club classics.
Ne-Yo is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his 2006 debut album, In My Own Words, which started his career in an auspicious way, going to No. 1 on Billboard's R&B/Hip Hop chart and the overall Billboard 200.
The singer's first six albums made the top 10 on both charts thanks to hit songs like "So Sick,” “Because of You,” and “Miss Independent.” Ne-Yo's most recent release was Self-Explanatory in 2022, although he also put out a greatest hits album in 2025.
Akon's career dates back to 2004, when he released his debut album, Trouble. He reached his peak in 2006 and 2007 with his sophomore release, Konvicted, which featured the No. 1 hits "I Wanna Love You" (with Snoop Dogg) and "Don't Matter."
After releasing his third album in 2008, it would be another 11 years before Akon's fourth and fifth albums, El Negreeto and Akonda, were released in the same month in 2019. He has yet to release another album.
Tickets for all U.S. dates will be available starting with the Citi presale. The general on sale will begin on Friday, January 30 at 10 AM at LiveNation.com.
