Jalen Ngonda Announces 2026 North American Tour Dates

Soul singer-songwriter Jalen Ngonda has announced a new run of North American tour dates in support of his newly released sophomore album, Doctrine of Love, available now via Daptone Records.

The extensive tour follows a busy summer and autumn schedule across Europe and the UK, with Ngonda bringing his modern take on classic soul to major cities throughout the United States and Canada later this year. The North American leg launches on November 10th in Chicago and wraps on December 3rd in Los Angeles.

Released on June 5th, Doctrine of Love continues the momentum Ngonda built with his acclaimed debut, Come Around and Love Me. The new album features the singles “Anyone in Love,” “Burning Temptation,” and the title track “Doctrine of Love,” further showcasing the singer’s timeless blend of vintage soul, Motown-inspired arrangements, and emotionally rich songwriting.

Ngonda has quickly become one of contemporary soul music’s most talked-about rising artists, earning praise from fans and critics alike for his warm vocal delivery and classic approach to songwriting. His growing reputation has led to performances across Europe, the UK, and North America, while his recordings continue to resonate with listeners looking for a modern artist carrying the torch for traditional soul music.

Fans can find tickets and additional tour information through Jalen Ngonda’s official website.
