One of the beloved performers from the hit show GLEE is heading out on a tour for fans to remember. Darren Criss has announced a summer tour titled Listen Up, a carefully curated run of live dates across North America that will bring his distinctive voice and his band to sixteen different cities. The itinerary reads like a roadmap of the continent’s musical hubs, with stops in big markets such as Los Angeles and New York, and a memorable moment in Toronto for Canadian fans who have followed his work from stage to screen. Beyond the city names, the tour promises not just a concert but a shared experience, a chance for audiences to hear new material right alongside the songs that helped establish Criss as a recognizable voice in contemporary music.
Darren Criss is bringing a full band experience to this outing, pairing fresh material with fan favorites from his growing catalog. The Listen Up tour is described as a dynamic live show, designed to blend the intimacy of storytelling with the energy of a bigger stage, allowing Criss to stretch his range and connect with audiences in a room that feels both immediate and expansive. The production will likely showcase a mix of original songs, reimagined favorites, and perhaps some surprise acoustic moments that remind fans why his performances have earned a devoted following. Tickets were scheduled to go on sale in an on-sale window that Saturday, with a special presale the day before, inviting eager fans to secure seats for the show in their city and ensuring the best available spots for enthusiastic listeners across the country.
