Ne-Yo and Akon team up for global tour and they’re coming to Toronto this summer

This summer is about to feel like 2016 all over again. Grammy Award-winning hitmaker Ne-Yo and Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum recording artist Akon are teaming up and going on a global tour. Luckily for us, they’re coming to Toronto.

Get ready for the Nights Like This Tour 2026. The artists that soundtracked the mid-2000s and carried us well into the 2010s (and still hold a spot on my gym playlist) are hitting the road, kicking off a 57-city tour in Dublin.

They’ll be making stops in London, Paris, Atlanta, Houston, and several cities across Canada.

But most importantly for us, the tour will be stopping in Toronto this July 2026 at the RBC Amphitheatre.

As for other Canadian cities, here’s when you can see the Nights Like This Tour 2026 live:

• June 17, 2026 – Vancouver, Rogers Arena
• June 19, 2026 – Edmonton, Rogers Place
• June 20, 2026 – Calgary, Scotiabank Saddledome
• June 22, 2026 – Saskatoon, SaskTel Centre
• June 23, 2026 – Winnipeg, Canada Life Centre
• June 26, 2026 – Montreal, Bell Centre
• June 27, 2026 — Hamilton, TD Coliseum

“The tour brings together two generational artists whose catalogs have defined radio, nightlife, and pop culture,” shares Live Nation in a press release. “NE-YO and Akon will share the stage in a unique, dynamic back-and-forth set throughout the show stacked with era-defining hits, sing-along anthems, and club classics.”

And this, folks, is something we cannot miss. So now for the next important part – tickets.
