Soulful melodies and electrifying dance moves come together on Maxwell’s The Serenade Tour. From classic hits to new favorites, the tour promises an unforgettable experience for fans of classic R&B.
Maxwell has been stealing hearts since the 1990s. His debut album, Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite, made him a household name. It featured the hit singles "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder)" and "Sumthin' Sumthin,'” which became Neo-Soul classics. Maxwell’s star continued to rise thanks to a string of successful releases, including Embrya and Now.
According to Best Selling Albums, the crooner has sold more than 5.5 million units since his career began, and he shows no signs of slowing down.
Maxwell is expected to perform a string of his most popular songs along with some new hits on his 2024 tour. Here is a rundown of the setlist for the nationwide tour, which will be supported by two of the biggest names in R&B.

In March, Maxwell announced he was going on a North American tour with 26 stops across the country. Grammy-winning songstress Jazmine Sullivan will join Maxwell on the tour, which kicks off in September. The Serenade Tour is set to be a celebration of Maxwell's career, and some are wondering which songs the decorated singer will perform during the show.
Maxwell has a slate of hits that go back to the 90s. With a discography spanning over three decades, Maxwell could choose to perform any of his classic songs. "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder),” "Pretty Wings,” and “This Woman's Work" are some of the singer’s biggest hits and will likely be included on the setlist.

During his 2022 shows, Maxwell played all the aforementioned tracks, and a few more from his catalog. According to Setlist FM, Maxwell’s previous setlist also included “Bad Habits,” “Always and Forever,” “Fistful of Tears,” and “Lake by the Ocean.”
Who will be joining Maxwell on tour?
Jazmine Sullivan is joining Maxwell on The Serenade Tour, and fans of R&B music cannot wait. The “Bust Your Windows” singer has been out of the spotlight for some time, and her return to the stage is highly anticipated.
“I know I’ve been quiet and I thank you all for being patient and giving me the space I needed,” Jazmine wrote on Instagram. “I’m excited to get back on the road this fall with my good friend Maxwell.”

In addition to Jazmine, October London will also serve as a special guest. The Los Angeles soul singer has been a rising R&B star since 2021 after dropping his acclaimed single “Black Man In America.” October released his debut studio album, Back to Your Place, in 2023. Needless to say, joining Maxwell’s tour will provide decent exposure for the rising star.
Meanwhile, Maxwell is keeping fans excited about The Serenade Tour by teasing his followers online. He took to Instagram on April 1 to reveal the setlist, but it only featured “This Woman’s Work.” The post was a joke in celebration of April Fool’s Day, as the singer will perform more than one song.
