YEBBA brings the Jean Tour to Coca-Cola Roxy this Thursday

The singer's first headlining tour, built around her second album, reaches Atlanta on Nov. 12, four days before the fall leg ends in Miami.

Five years is a long time to wait for a follow-up, and YEBBA made people wait. When *Jean* finally arrived this March, it came with something new for her: a tour with her name on top of the bill. That tour reaches Atlanta this week. YEBBA plays Coca-Cola Roxy Theatre on Thursday, Nov. 12, at 8 p.m. Tickets run $52.50–$164 through Ticketmaster.

*Jean* came out March 6 on RCA, her second studio album and the follow-up to her 2021 debut, *Dawn*, per Live For Live Music. It runs 14 tracks and is reportedly named for her late grandmother. JamBase first reported the album alongside the single "Yellow Eyes." The Jean Tour, her first as a headliner, opened April 27 in Santa Fe, worked through North America in the spring, and took her across Europe through late summer, including stops at Carlswerk Victoria in Cologne and Ancienne Belgique in Brussels.

Now the 12-date fall leg is winding down. YEBBA was in Nashville earlier this week, and after Atlanta she heads to Orlando on Nov. 15 before the run closes Nov. 16 at The Fillmore Miami Beach. That puts Atlanta in a sweet spot: deep enough into the tour that the show is fully in shape, and close enough to the end that there's a last-week looseness in the air.

Deep enough into the tour that the show is fully in shape, and close enough to the end that there's a last-week looseness in the air.

Why go? Because YEBBA is the kind of singer people talk about in terms of moments: a note held a beat longer than seems possible, a room going quiet. A headline set gives her the space to build those moments over a full evening instead of a few songs on someone else's bill, and the *Jean* material, written around a family name, invites that kind of attention.

The Roxy suits it. At 1,800 capacity, it's a theater-sized room with a club's closeness, big enough to give a soul and R&B band room to move and small enough that the quiet parts still land. The ticket range tells you how the house is laid out: the low end gets you in the room, and the top end is for people who want to be close enough to see her breathe between lines.

A few practical notes: it's a Thursday with an 8 p.m. start, so plan for a weeknight. And with the leg closing out the following Monday, this is the last chance for anyone in the Southeast north of Florida to catch this run.

Sometimes an album earns its wait. On Thursday, Atlanta gets to hear whether *Jean* earned hers, in a room built for it.
