Josh Groban can’t keep a secret.
In a segment on the “Jennifer Hudson Show,” the legendary baritone let loose the surprise news that he’s going on tour with the program’s EGOT-winning host in summer 2026.
The pair are now scheduled to hit arenas all over North America in June and July.
They’re coming to New York too.
Early in the 16-concert run, the vocally-gifted duo will co-headline Madison Square Garden on Friday, June 12.
“…to be able to blend our voices, the duet possibilities…” Groban, 44, said. “You are truly one of my favorite people and favorite artists on the planet, to be able to hit the road together as a team absolutely makes my world.”
This jaunt marks the duo’s first outing together and comes on the heels of the release of Groban’s 2025 album “Gems” that’s made up of his most beloved, enduring ballads including “You Raise Me Up,” “Evermore” and “All I Ask Of You” among others.
“With Gems, Groban not only celebrates a remarkable career — he reaffirms his place as one of music’s most enduring and transcendent voices,” Rockshot Magazine wrote. “This album isn’t just a greatest hits collection; it’s a carefully curated love letter to the fans, songs, and moments that have shaped his path so far.”
As for Hudson, she just dropped an extended version of her 2024 Christmas album “The Gift of Love.” Showbiz 411 pointed out “I’m not a particular fan of Christmas songs, but the takes on each one here are stunningly personal and unique…Hudson’s take on Nat King Cole’s ‘Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting)’ is superb and for the ages. I can’t imagine not hearing it everywhere from this season on.”
