Iconic singer Gladys Knight, the "Empress of Soul" is heading out to some Texas venues on a 2026 tour. She'll stop in Austin at the Paramount Theatre on Sunday, March 1, 2026.

In San Antonio, the Tobin Center in San Antonio just announced that Knight will also be stopping in San Antonio at the H-E-B Performance Hall the next day, March 2. Knight's Ticketmaster calendar also shows dates in Houston on February 20, Fort Worth on February 22, and El Paso on March 5, but the San Antonio and Austin tickets will be sold on different platforms.

Knight was first known for performing with her family band, Gladys Knight & the Pips, and later breaking into a solo career. With the Pips, she led the famous songs "Midnight Train to Georgia" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," opened for Diana Ross and the Supremes, and won three Grammy Awards.

In her solo career, she won four more Grammys — including one for No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit "That's What Friends Are For" with Dionne Warwick, Elton John, and Stevie Wonder — and acted in both film and TV over more than four decades.

Knight's last studio album, Where My Heart Belongs, was released in 2014.

Tickets for the Austin show go on sale Friday, December 19, at 10 am via austintheatre.org.
