On May 15, 2025, Grammy-award winner Jon Batiste announced his nation-wide tour. His tour, The Big Money Tour: Jon Batiste Plays America, is for his forthcoming project and this is his second headlining run. His new tour will begin Aug. 27 at The Midland in Kansas City, Missouri. The Big Money Tour will be playing at 30 different locations throughout the United States, including Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado, the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, two nights at the Encore Theater in Las Vegas, Nevada, and a special co-bill with the Queen of Motown Records, Diana Ross,  at The Muny is St. Louis, Missouri.

Tickets will be available for artist presales on Friday, May 16, at 10 a.m. The local presales will follow on Monday, May 19, at 10 a.m. and the general public on-sale begins Tuesday, May 20, at 10 a.m. 

The Big Money Tour will unfold like a multi-act musical journey. The goal of the tour is to connect the audience to Batiste’s roots, his evolution and the movement he is building through his music. “We’re living in a complicated time, and music has this incredible ability to reframe what we’re feeling, to help us keep going,” said Batiste. “These shows are meant to be healing, liberating, and unforgettable.” His tour will feature selections from his critically acclaimed catalog alongside new material performed live for the first time. His shows will blend structure with spontaneity and become a “creative church,” a space for joy, openness and collective experience.
