In brief
Erykah Badu’s planned Sofia concert, originally set for October 23, 2026, has been moved to January 25, 2027, as part of an overhaul of her IMeHo European tour. The artist’s fans were thanked for their patience and the new schedule added gigs in Milan, Paris, and Katowice.
The National Palace of Culture in Sofia will host the U.S. singer Erykah Badu on January 25, 2027, after the show originally slated for October 23, 2026 was postponed. Organizers said the change was required to accommodate adjustments to Badu’s IMeHo European tour itinerary.
In further detail, the revised European tour includes performances on January 15 in Milan, January 20 in Paris, January 25 in Sofia, and January 27 in Katowice. The change means the Sofia date was moved from the fall schedule to the winter season, keeping the sequence of cities consistent with Badu’s updated travel plans.
Organizers emphasized the appreciation they felt for Sofia’s fans. They thanked the audience for their understanding and support, stating that the new dates would allow fans in the city to catch the artist they had been looking forward to seeing for months.
