Raphael Saadiq is expanding his highly-acclaimed one-man show No Bandwidth: One Man, One Night, Three Decades of Hits with twenty-two new tour dates this fall.
The Grammy-winning multitalent completed back-to-back sold-out nights at the legendary Apollo Theater in New York City back in May — as well as performances at Los Angeles’ historic United Theater on Broadway, and two homecoming nights at Oakland’s Fox Theater. Now, Saadiq’s No Bandwidth Tour will see him extending his run.
“I’ve always wanted to do a one-man show. I want to challenge myself,” Saadiq said in a press statement. “My one-person show has three acts; I will be talking about my career, bringing a couple of instruments to express myself, singing my original music as well as covers of songs I wish I had written, and more. I want it to feel magical and like a Broadway show.”
Before the passing of his bandmate and brother, D’Wayne Wiggins, earlier this year, Saadiq participated in a successful Just Me and You reunion tour with Tony! Toni! Toné! back in 2023. In February, Saadiq shot down the chance of reuniting with his other former band, the supergroup Lucy Pearl. The group’s debut — and only — album, Lucy Pearl, turned 25 this May.
“Honestly, I would love to, but it’s not really possible,” he said to Variety. “You know how groups are. Groups are like Spinal Tap. Lucy Pearl was, in the nicest way I can say, definitely a Spinal Tap kind of band.”
He also explained the significance of “No Bandwidth.”
“It’s ‘No Bandwidth,’ it’s ‘no band with me.’ That’s how I came up with the title,” said Saadiq. “It’s definitely challenging. I don’t know what to expect to be honest, but I need a new challenge and this is the one I chose.”
Pre-sale tickets will be available; full schedule below. General on-sale will take place on Friday, July 11 at 10 a.m. local time on Saadiq’s official website HERE.
