Josh Groban brings his 2026 Gems World Tour across 21 cities, marking his first global trek in a decade. The tour launches in Honolulu before visiting Taipei, Singapore, Jakarta, Manila, Tokyo, Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Bahrain, Dubai, Dublin, London, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, and Düsseldorf, concluding in Amsterdam. Each show presents a career-spanning production featuring signature hits from ‘Gems’ with the powerful vocals and intimate storytelling that define Groban’s concerts. Exact routing and dates arrive later, with general on-sale varying by city.
“It is with the greatest excitement that I get to take these songs I’ve loved so much around the world, to places I haven’t visited in far too long and to places I’ve always wanted to visit,” Groban says. “I’m honored to see the world through music. I can’t wait to see everyone soon!” The announcement follows the recent release of ‘Hidden Gems’ via Reprise Records, a collection gathering beloved and rare tracks that many fans have never heard on streaming platforms until now.
Groban shared “The Constant” in October as the first offering from the project. The collaboration with acclaimed songwriting duo Pasek and Paul and producer Dan Romer brings something fresh while honoring cherished songs from his catalog. ‘Hidden Gems’ includes fan-favorite deep cuts like “Signs,” co-written with Toby Gad and Bernie Herms, and “Everything You Needed,” a stirring ballad given to Groban by Sia. Other highlights feature “Smile,” his take on the Charlie Chaplin classic, and “Konosaki No Michi,” the closing theme from a major 2012 Japanese drama where Groban sang in Japanese, a language he studied in high school.
The album showcases “With You” and “My Heart Was Home Again,” recorded for a limited-edition Hallmark Valentine’s Day CD, plus “Remember” from the film Troy and a Spanish-language duet version of “Broken Vow” with Arturo Sandoval. “Empty Sky” closes the collection, a raw late-night studio recording with Steve Jordan, Isaiah Sharkey, and Pino Palladino featuring Groban live on upright piano performing an early Elton John song. This heartfelt gift to fans curates special songs now available worldwide.
Earlier this year, Groban released ‘Gems’ and its Deluxe Edition, spanning over two decades of definitive ballads that trace his impact on popular culture. The 18-track collection includes the triple platinum “You Raise Me Up,” Billboard Adult Contemporary No. 1 “To Where You Are,” the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack standout “Evermore,” and show-stopping renditions of “Over The Rainbow,” “Pure Imagination,” and Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” The Deluxe Edition added 23 songs including duets “Run” with Sarah McLachlan, “99 Years” with Jennifer Nettles, and “We Will Meet Once Again” with Andrea Bocelli.
