Little Simz at Fox Theater Oakland

The Lotus Tour 2025

Make sure to meet us here for the ultimate bloom sesh this season right here at Fox Theatre on November 17th for Little Simz’s long-awaited return to the West Coast — we’re one of the final stops on her 2025 Lotus Tour, her biggest North American run to date and a defining moment for one of the UK’s most powerful and poetic voices in hip hop. Following the release of Lotus, her sixth studio album and maybe her most personal yet, this tour is her victory lap: a celebration of identity, resilience, and raw musical craftsmanship performed night after night in packed rooms across the U.S. and Canada. And with no openers on the bill for Oakie, we get her full, undivided presence — all Simz, all night long!

Since the start, Little Simz has made her name by refusing to follow anyone’s blueprint but her own. From Stillness in Wonderland to Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, she’s earned a rep for crafting intricate concept albums that double as inner monologues — all delivered with a commanding voice and cinematic production. But Lotus marks a shift. It’s leaner, looser, more immediate. Simz trades polish for pulse, letting us sit with her honesty while still flexing the razor-sharp bars and sonic range that made her a global force in the first place. That same balance is what powers this new tour: introspection meets explosion, vulnerability meets total control. And maybe the best one - we meet her.

All here at Fox Theatre folks! With our grand art deco bones and history of iconic hip-hop shows, couldn’t be a more fitting backdrop for this finale run of the tour. Expect a setlist pulling from across her discography — old favorites like “Venom” and “101 FM” thrown in with newer standouts like “Mood Swings,” “Silhouette,” and “Drop 7.” Backed by a full band and no frills, it’s all about the lyricism, the energy, and the connection Simz builds with her audience through every track.

There’s something special about watching an artist perform on their own terms — in their own voice, on their own stage, in a city like Oakland where culture, community, and creativity collide. So grab your tickets, bring your people, and get ready for a night of music that cuts deep, hits hard, and reminds us why Little Simz stands in a class entirely her own. So - let’s do it then! We’ll see y’all real soon - right here for the best night ever!
