Jorja Smith Tour 2026: Dates, Venues and How to Get Tickets
by Chizuru Nobe
Jorja Smith's 2026 tour brings her to five North American cities in November: Los Angeles on Nov. 14, San Francisco on Nov. 16, Toronto on Nov. 18, Brooklyn on Nov. 21 and Chicago on Nov. 23. Both ticket windows have already closed. The presale ran Thursday, Aug. 6, and the general on-sale followed Friday, Aug. 7.
Finding out after those dates does not mean you are out of options. Seats bought during a fast on-sale move onto the resale market, and that is where most of these shows will trade from here.
Below is a breakdown of every North American stop, why bouncing between ticketing systems might make you think your city was skipped, and why tickets are so tight for these intimate, theater-sized rooms.
Key Takeaways
- Five North American dates, November 14-23: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Brooklyn and Chicago. There is no second stop on the continent to fall back on.
- Both buying windows have closed. The presale ran August 6 and the general on-sale August 7, so resale is the route that stays open.
- Every room on the run is theater-sized, from roughly 1,100 seats at The Castro Theatre to just over 3,000 at Kings Theatre, which caps how many tickets exist per night.

Jorja Smith Tour Dates and Cities
The five-date North American run opens Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles and ends Monday, Nov. 23, at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago. San Francisco, Toronto and Brooklyn sit in between. The schedule below pulls live listings for each of the five dates.
The Five North American Cities
Los Angeles opens the run at the Orpheum Theatre on Nov. 14, and it is her only Southern California date. San Francisco follows on Nov. 16 at The Castro Theatre. Toronto takes the run's only Canadian stop on Nov. 18 at Massey Hall. Brooklyn hosts Nov. 21 at Kings Theatre, the sole New York City area room on the leg. Chicago closes at the Riviera Theatre on Nov. 23.
Five cities across 10 days leaves long gaps between stops. Fans in Seattle, Atlanta, Houston or Miami are looking at a flight.
The Album Behind the Run
The dates come in support of What Are the Odds, released Aug. 21, 2026 on FAMM. Per Pollstar, P2J handled production. It is her third studio album, and her official site lists "I LIED, YOU LIED," "ALIVE" and "WHAT'S DONE IS DONE" among the singles that preceded it.
No branded tour name is attached to these concerts. Ticketing pages list them under her name alone, so a search built around a tour title will not return anything official.
Dates Outside North America
These five shows are not her whole 2026 calendar. Her listings also include dates outside North America, along with festival appearances. Those fall outside this article, which sticks to the U.S. and Canadian shows.
That distinction matters if you are weighing a trip. A fan who cannot make the date in their own city has no second North American stop to fall back on later in the year.
Jorja Smith Tour Presale and On-Sale
Both sales windows have closed. The presale came first, the general on-sale a day later, and the whole cycle finished inside two days in early August. Anyone searching now is looking at a schedule where the original buying windows have passed, which changes what buying looks like today.
The Aug. 6 Presale
The presale opened Thursday, Aug. 6. If you spent that week hunting for a code and came up empty, that is because access did not work through one. Exclaim! reported the presale date when the shows were announced, and the presale was opened through an RSVP on her own Laylo page, with details sent to people who signed up there.
The Aug. 7 General On-Sale
General sales opened Friday, Aug. 7. By then the presale window had closed, so everything left went on public sale at once, with no code and no separate access tier standing between a fan and a seat.
The five dates did not all sell through the same ticketing system, and that split still shapes what a search turns up today.
If You Missed Both
Missing both windows is the common outcome here. Each show is being staged in a relatively small theater, which means fewer seats are available at each stop than at a typical arena or stadium show.
That is a supply story rather than a story about how fast anyone clicked. The more useful question now is where tickets are still available and how resale compares with primary-market inventory.
How to Get Jorja Smith Tickets Now
After a general on-sale closes, resale is the route that stays open. Fans who bought in August list seats they can no longer use, and those listings are what remains for the Nov. 14–23 dates. Availability shifts daily, so what you see today is a snapshot.
Resale After the On-Sale
Resale means a ticket someone already bought is being sold again. The ticket represents the same seat; only the seller has changed. For a run this size, that is where most remaining inventory sits.
Resale prices move with demand and do not track the original face value in either direction. That is why this article quotes no figure: whatever is accurate one week is out of date the next. The live listings above show what sellers are asking right now, date by date.
If you are comparing platforms before you commit, our breakdown of where resale marketplaces differ covers how the major ones handle delivery and buyer protection.
Two Ticketing Systems, Five Dates
Here is the practical trap. The five dates were not put on sale through a single seller. Live Nation's artist page carries three of the five dates: Los Angeles, San Francisco and Toronto. Brooklyn and Chicago get nothing there. Those two are sold through AXS, with Brooklyn also handled by the venue's own box office.
A fan in Chicago who lands on that page sees nothing for their city and could read the run as skipping Chicago. It is not skipping Chicago. The Nov. 23 date at the Riviera Theatre is simply on a different system.
The schedule block above pulls all five dates into one view, which avoids that dead end.
Checking Your City
If you have one city in mind, go straight to it. New York area fans should search under Brooklyn rather than Manhattan.
Seat locations read differently in a theater than in an arena. These rooms are small enough that the gap between tiers is a few rows, so pull up the map for your venue before settling on a section.
Theater-Sized Venues on the Jorja Smith Tour
This is a theater run. Two of the five venues publish their own capacity figure, a third comes by way of Billboard, and the largest of them seats just over 3,000. That sets a ceiling on how many tickets could exist per night, and it explains the pace of the August on-sale.
Kings Theatre, Brooklyn
Kings Theatre hosts the Nov. 21 date. The venue's operator describes the room as having seating for over 3,000 guests, and its history explains the scale: it opened in 1929 as a movie palace and reopened in 2015 after a restoration.
Three thousand seats makes it a large theater and a modest concert venue at the same time.
The Castro Theatre, San Francisco
The Nov. 16 date lands at The Castro Theatre, which reopened in February 2026 after a $41 million renovation. Per the San Francisco Standard, the renovated room holds 1,385 standing patrons, dropping to 1,115 once seats are installed, against 1,408 fixed seats in its earlier configuration.
Between 1,100 and 1,400 people is a small audience for an artist at this level. Another Planet Entertainment operates the venue.
Massey Hall, the Orpheum and the Riviera
Massey Hall takes the Toronto date on Nov. 18. Per Billboard, it is a 2,765-seat hall that reopened in November 2021 after a multiyear renovation, though published figures shift depending on whether the room is configured for seated or general admission.
The Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles and the Riviera Theatre in Chicago sit in the same theater tier as the rest of this run. The Orpheum opened in 1926 as a Broadway movie palace in downtown Los Angeles.
Buying Resale Tickets Safely
The reasonable worry about resale is whether the ticket works when you reach the door. Two things answer that on TicketX: a Buyer Guarantee covering the four ways a resale purchase can fail, and no hidden fees. Both are worth reading before you settle on a seat.
What the Buyer Guarantee Covers
The TicketX Buyer Guarantee applies to four situations, and each one results in a full refund.
Counterfeit or invalid tickets. What you receive will not scan or is not valid for entry.
Tickets that do not arrive in time. Delivery misses the deadline for the event.
A canceled event with no replacement date. The show is called off and never rescheduled.
A seller who never transfers the tickets. The order is never completed on the seller's side.
These four scenarios are fully covered so you don't have to stress. If you want to know exactly how we keep fake tickets off the platform, you can read up on how TicketX verifies its listings.
No Hidden Fees
The other half of the trust question is cost. TicketX lists resale tickets with no hidden fees.
That matters most in a room this size, where two seats a row apart can look identical and cost is the only thing separating them. Take a listing through to the order step before you decide, since both availability and asking prices move day to day.
Ways to Save
A few habits reduce what you spend without changing where you sit. Buying two seats together opens up more of the map in a small room than a group of four does. Watching more than one date, if you can travel, widens the pool.
TicketX Rewards is free to join and runs on three tiers, Bronze, Silver and Gold, with credit building up based on how many tickets you buy over time. Referrals count toward it as well. Check current TicketX promo codes before you check out.
Planning Your Concert Night
Once a ticket is in hand, the practical questions start: what time to arrive, whether the date lands on a workday and what a trip costs you in time off. Show times vary by venue on this run, and three of the five dates fall on weeknights.
Doors and Show Times
For the Brooklyn date, the venue's box office lists doors at 7 p.m. and the show at 8 p.m. ET.
Those times apply to Kings Theatre only. The other four venues set their own schedules, so check the event page for your specific date instead of assuming the Brooklyn timing carries across the run.
Weeknight Dates
Three of the five dates fall on weeknights: Monday, Nov. 16 in San Francisco, Wednesday, Nov. 18 in Toronto and Monday, Nov. 23 in Chicago. The other two, Los Angeles and Brooklyn, are Saturdays.
If your schedule runs on shifts, the two Monday dates are the ones to check first, since a Monday night show puts you at work Tuesday morning. Requesting the time off now is simpler than doing it in late October.
Traveling to a Show
Los Angeles is the only Southern California date and Toronto is the only Canadian one, so a trip to Massey Hall from the U.S. means a border crossing and the documents that come with it.

Jorja Smith Tour FAQ
Five questions come up repeatedly about this run: whether she is playing outside North America, whether tickets are still reachable after the on-sale, which date serves New York, which shows land midweek and what time the Brooklyn show starts. Short answers follow.
Is Jorja Smith touring internationally?
Yes. Her schedule includes dates outside North America, along with festival appearances. The five North American shows covered here, from Los Angeles on Nov. 14 to Chicago on Nov. 23, are one leg of a wider calendar rather than the whole of it. If you are searching from outside the U.S. or Canada, check her listings for your own region, since on-sale timing and ticketing platforms differ market to market. Her official site is the place to confirm which markets are on the schedule and when tickets go on sale there.
Can you still get Jorja Smith tickets after the general on-sale?
The general on-sale closed Friday, Aug. 7, so the original buying window has passed. What remains is resale, meaning tickets people bought in August and are now listing again. That route needs no code and no queue. Whether a particular date and seating tier has listings at any given moment changes constantly. The live schedule on this page pulls current availability for all five dates, which is the fastest way to see where things stand for the city you care about.
Is Jorja Smith playing a show in NYC?
The New York area date is Saturday, Nov. 21 at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn. No Manhattan date appears on this run, so a search built around a Manhattan venue will come up empty. Look under Brooklyn instead. That one date covers the entire New York City area on the North American leg, so there is no second night nearby to fall back on if you are coordinating with friends across boroughs. Doors and show time for that date are listed above.
Which Jorja Smith concerts fall on a weeknight?
Three of the five. Monday, Nov. 16 in San Francisco at The Castro Theatre; Wednesday, Nov. 18 in Toronto at Massey Hall; and Monday, Nov. 23 in Chicago at the Riviera Theatre. The two weekend dates are Saturday, Nov. 14 in Los Angeles at the Orpheum Theatre and Saturday, Nov. 21 in Brooklyn at Kings Theatre. Two of the three weeknight shows fall on Mondays, which may require additional planning for fans working Tuesday morning. Sorting the calendar question before you shop keeps you from buying into a date you cannot make.
What time does the Kings Theatre show start?
For the Nov. 21 Brooklyn date, the venue's box office lists doors at 7 p.m. and the show at 8 p.m. ET. Those times are specific to that date at that venue, so do not apply them to the other four shows. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto and Chicago each set their own doors and start times, published on the event page for each individual date. If you are traveling in for the Brooklyn show, an 8 p.m. start on a Saturday leaves room for dinner beforehand without cutting it close.
