The duo shared the news Tuesday on <\/span>The Jennifer Hudson Show<\/span><\/i> , revealing a 16-city trek that promises to blend their legendary voices for a series of high-profile performances throughout June and July. Both 44, the artists expressed mutual admiration during the announcement, with Groban calling Hudson “one of the greatest vocalists who’s ever lived.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“We’re gonna be touring!”<\/span><\/b> Groban shouted to a cheering audience, noting he is honored to share the stage with the EGOT winner. Hudson echoed the sentiment, describing the opportunity to tour with the “You Raise Me Up” singer as a career highlight.

The tour is scheduled to kick off on June 2 in Montreal before moving through major North American hubs including New York City, Boston, and Nashville.

Beyond the music, the tour carries a philanthropic mission. One dollar from every ticket sold will be donated to Groban’s “Find Your Light Foundation,” an organization dedicated to supporting arts education for children in underserved communities. Groban emphasizes that performing live retains his greatest joy, especially when the platform can be used to celebrate the arts and give back to the next generation of performers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tickets are expected to move quickly following the announcement. Pre-sales are set to begin Wednesday, December 17, at 10 am local time, with the general public sale opening on Friday, December 19.
