Maxwell plays Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg, Florida on September 1, 2017.
His “Serenade” tour kicks off in Florida at the Hard Rock Hollywood and includes just one other Florida show a day later in the Bay area. Openers on the run include R&B powerhouse and Grammy-winning songwriter Jazmine Sullivan (one of Time’s most influential people of 2022), plus Indiana-born singer-songwriter October London.
Maxwell emerged from a short period of inactivity after the pandemic and has hinted at the release of his much-anticipated Night album, which will arrive nearly 30-years after an mindblowing debut record, Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite featuring the breakout single “Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder).” He cemented a place in music history shortly after that outing, after releasing an MTV Unplugged album featuring covers of Kate Bush (“This Woman’s Work”) and Nine Inch Nails (“Closer”).
In 2017, Maxwell played a short, but sweet, hit-heavy set in St. Petersburg, marked by his remarkable vocal rage, emotional power and commanding technique.
Tickets to see Maxwell and Jazmine Sullivan play Tampa’s Amalie Arena on Sunday, Sept. 15 are available now and start at $46.75.
