Sade and a world tour in 2026? Those two words together have social media acting like Christmas came early. My feed is full of so-called “tour posters,” “inside scoops” and and other mania called the Sade Adu Echoes in the Dark World Tour 2026. People are already picking outfits—but hold off on getting the babysitter.
There’s no official confirmation from Sade, her management or her official site. Nothing. I went to buy tickets and there wasn’t even a placeholder on Ticketmaster. All of this hype is running off hope, not facts. Some outlets even dropped stories about it, but the end result is “it’s unconfirmed.”
Sade can make the world lose its mind without saying a word. She hasn’t toured since 2011, when the Soldier of Love Tour grossed more than $50 million. That was over a decade ago. I missed her that time, but I won’t make that mistake if she comes back around. The scarcity only adds to her legend. She’s one of the greatest singers of all time.
Drake knows.

Some sites have gone so far as to create fake itineraries. When you get to the bottom of the fine print is says, “there is no official news about a SADE Tour 2026 yet.” Anything for clicks.
After Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter and Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, folks are dreaming about Sade doing her version of a cultural reset. We need it, too. Sade Adu is almost 70 years old. Come on. Stop playing with our emotions. Lagos, London, Paris and New York are all ready.
There’s not a lot more to say.
Rumor busted—for now. But if she does step back into the spotlight, we’ll be there.
You knew she dropped a song last November.
