Josh Groban is embarking on what many are calling his most ambitious musical journey yet. The acclaimed singer, celebrated for his powerhouse vocals and magnetic stage presence, has officially announced the Stage, Screen, and Symphony tour, a 13-date run that promises to thrill fans across the United States with a blend of Broadway classics and iconic film music, all performed with the grandeur of full symphony orchestras.
Kicking off on August 11, 2026, at Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center and concluding on September 3 at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, Texas, this tour marks a significant milestone in Groban’s already storied career. According to BroadwayWorld, Groban shared, “I’ve always been drawn to music that tells a story, whether it’s on the Broadway stage, in film, or through a great symphonic arrangement. This tour is a chance for me to bring all of those worlds together while sharing many of the songs that have inspired me throughout my career. Performing this music alongside some of the best orchestras in the world each night is going to be incredibly special.”
The tour is not just a celebration of Groban’s musical influences—it also serves as a live showcase for his latest album, Cinematic, which dropped on May 8, 2026, via Reprise Records. The album features Groban’s signature interpretations of ten legendary songs from the world of cinema, including “Skyfall,” “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” “As Time Goes By,” and “Moon River.” As noted by The Music Universe, Groban’s approach on Cinematic is to pay tribute to the emotional depth and storytelling power that film music brings to audiences, and the tour is designed to bring that same magic to life on stage.
Each stop on the Stage, Screen, and Symphony tour will be unique, with Groban teaming up with different regional orchestras to deliver authentic, locally tailored arrangements. For example, the Philadelphia Orchestra will join him at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center on August 14, while the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra will accompany him at the Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center (CMAC) in Canandaigua, NY, on August 18. The Virginia Symphony Orchestra is set to perform with Groban in Norfolk, VA, on August 16, according to Consequence and USA Today Network. This rotating lineup of orchestras ensures that each concert is a one-of-a-kind event, rich in regional musical tradition and symphonic excellence.

General ticket sales are set to open on May 15 at 10 a.m. local time. Given the limited number of dates and the unique orchestral format, demand is expected to be fierce. Fans are encouraged to check official ticketing sites for availability in their preferred cities, as some venues, such as Saratoga Springs and Vienna, have already opened sales through local pre-sale partners.
This orchestral tour is a bold move in an era where many large-scale tours rely on backing tracks and standard band setups. As The Music Universe points out, Groban’s commitment to live, symphonic performance sets a new standard for contemporary touring. By blending Broadway standards, cinematic favorites, and the lush sound of full orchestras, Groban is offering something rare and immersive—a true celebration of live music’s power to move and inspire.
Groban’s own career has been marked by versatility and risk-taking. He’s not only a Tony, Emmy, and five-time Grammy-nominated artist, but he has also made a mark on Broadway, notably earning a Tony nomination for his role as Pierre in Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 in 2016, and returning to the stage in 2023’s Sweeney Todd. His screen credits include appearances in Glee, The Office, Crazy, Stupid, Love, and Netflix’s The Good Cop, as well as starring as the Beast in ABC’s Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration.
In addition to the Stage, Screen, and Symphony tour, Groban is keeping a packed schedule. He recently wrapped up his GEMS World Tour, performing to audiences across the globe in locations such as Hawaii, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. This June, he’ll be back on the road for a North American arena tour with special guest Jennifer Hudson, with stops in major cities including Boston, New York, and Nashville. And for fans in Las Vegas, Groban has a residency planned at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in October 2026.
Groban’s recent media appearances have only added to the excitement. On May 11, he performed “Skyfall” live on Good Morning America, showcasing the cinematic flair of his new album. He’s also scheduled to appear on Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Kelly Clarkson Show in the days following the tour announcement, according to BroadwayWorld.
The Stage, Screen, and Symphony tour is more than just a concert series—it’s a statement about the enduring power of live, orchestral music in a modern world. As Groban himself put it, this tour is “the culmination of [his] artistic vision combining stage, screen, and symphonic music.” With a new album, a star-studded tour schedule, and a commitment to musical storytelling, Josh Groban is poised to make this summer one that fans—and perhaps even the music industry—won’t soon forget.
