The singer, who released her sixth album ‘Empathogen’ last month, will take to the stage at The Ford for a one-off performance on Friday October 25.
She’ll be joined by conductor Derrick Hodge and the Color Of Noize Orchestra “to reimagine hits like ‘Whip My Hair’, ‘Wait A Minute!’, ‘Meet Me At Our Spot’ and more”, according to the venue’s official website.
The artist will also showcase the “meditative mix of jazz, classical, and indigenous tribal music” from her latest studio record.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am local time next Friday (June 28) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. Alternatively, fans can register for a pre-sale until 10pm next Tuesday (25) – find more information here.

‘Empathogen’ – the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Coping Mechanism’ – features collaborations with Jon Batiste (on ‘Home’) and St. Vincent (‘Pain For Fun’), as well as the singles ‘Big Feelings’ and ‘Symptom Of Life’.
In other news, Willow recently reflected on her 2010 debut single ‘Whip My Hair’, saying that the song “is just a foundation for everything that has come later”. She added: “It was a lot of fun. I am so grateful – I would never take it back.”
Elsewhere, the singer – whose parents are Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith – opened up about feeling a sense of “insecurity” when it comes to being a “nepo baby”.
