In honor of her first studio album in more than a decade, Jill Scott and Live Nation Urban are announcing the To Whom This May Concern World Tour.

The 36-date outing is slated to kick off in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium on June 4. From there, the U.S. itinerary includes stops in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Oakland and Scott’s hometown of Philadelphia. Scott will then travel across the ocean to Europe and the U.K., starting in Birmingham, U.K. on Sept. 29. That circuit will include stops in Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam and London. The world tour will wrap with two dates in South Africa: Pretoria on Nov. 7 and Cape Town on Nov. 11.

According to the press release, the tour will “center on a series of residency-style performances, placing live band instrumentation at the heart of the experience. Each city will host uniquely curated shows designed to create deep, immersive connections between artist and audience.”

In a statement, Scott noted, “Creating unique experiences for people in every city is incredibly important to me. Music is a conversation, and the stage is where we come together to share truth, joy and the beauty of being alive.”

Released Feb. 13 through Blues Babe and Human Re Sources, To Whom This May Concern debuted in the top 10 of seven Billboard charts. Those highlights include Top Album Sales (No. 7), Top R&B Albums (No. 4), Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (No. 10) and Independent Albums (No. 6).
