Sacramento, California – Raphael Saadiq has announced the expansion of his critically acclaimed tour, “No Bandwidth: One Man, One Night, Three Decades of Hits,” by adding 22 new dates set to commence this fall. Following a successful summer run that included sold-out performances, the tour aims to connect fans with Saadiq’s musical journey and artistry.
The fall leg of the tour will kick off on September 7, 2025, at Channel 24 in Sacramento, paving the way for additional performances across the United States. Notable stops in the itinerary include Las Vegas on September 12, 2025, at the Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort, as well as cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Dallas, Atlanta, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Detroit.
The final performance of the tour is scheduled for October 14, 2025, at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville, Tennessee. General ticket sales will commence on July 11, 2025, at 10 a.m. PT, with ticket prices starting at $61, exclusive of any service charges or fees. Tickets will be available for purchase at AXS.com, with presales occurring throughout the week leading up to the general sale.
Tour Highlights and Structure
Saadiq’s one-man show is designed to be a dynamic experience with three distinct acts. The performance blends storytelling about his career with live renditions of original music, alongside covers of songs he wishes he had written. The artistic goal is to create a magical atmosphere reminiscent of a Broadway show, allowing audiences to experience both intimacy and musical prowess.
As an artist, Saadiq views this endeavor as a personal challenge, having embraced further musical development by taking piano lessons during the pandemic in 2024. This growth supports his aspirations for future performances, potentially leading to a larger ensemble show, modeled after iconic acts like Earth, Wind, and Fire, with plans for an 11-piece band.
A Tribute and a Celebration
The tour also carries a bittersweet element as it follows the passing of Saadiq’s brother and fellow musician, D’Wayne Wiggins, in March 2025. While the tour encapsulates reflections on his life and career, it is not solely defined as a tribute. Instead, it serves as both a celebration of Saadiq’s previous achievements and a platform for showcasing his ongoing evolution as an artist.
The summer shows included notable performances in New York City, Los Angeles, and Oakland, generating significant excitement for the upcoming fall tour. The positive reception during the initial run has paved the way for Saadiq to further engage with his audience in the anticipated extended tour.
Critical Acclaim
The tour has garnered praise from audiences and critics alike. Notably, feedback highlighted that the performance stands as a “masterclass in intimacy, vulnerability, and musical excellence.” This endorsement underscores Saadiq’s ability to connect with fans on a personal level while delivering an exceptional musical experience.
As the tour approaches, anticipation continues to grow among fans eager to witness Saadiq’s artistry in a setting designed to celebrate three decades of impactful music. With a robust schedule of 22 new dates, the “No Bandwidth” tour promises a unique blend of nostalgia and innovation from one of the industry’s respected figures.
