Erykah Badu 2025 international tour: Presale, dates, venues, and more explored

Erykah Badu is officially set to return to the global stage in 2025 with The Return of Automatic Slim Tour: Erykah Badu Mama's Gun '25. It will be a celebration of the 25th anniversary of her second studio album, Mama's Gun.

The newly announced tour will kick off in Los Angeles in October 2025 and run through December 2025. The run has stops across North America and Europe. The 2025 tour announcement comes alongside Erykah Badu's other projects, including her joint album with The Alchemist, Abi & Alan. The record is awaiting release.

Erykah Badu's Mama's Gun was officially released in November 2000. Critics praised its experimental sound, while songs like Bag Lady were met with notable acclaim from fans and enthusiasts. The singer's debut came with Baduizm in 1997. For Mama's Gun's 25th anniversary, the new tour will offer a reinterpretation of that era, with updated arrangements of the tracks.
