Cleo Sol brings the Gentlewoman Tour to CFG Bank Arena for her first Baltimore show

The London singer's first North American arena run includes a Baltimore debut on Friday, April 16, 2027, at CFG Bank Arena.

For a singer whose records are mostly hushed, slow-blooming soul, Cleo Sol has picked big rooms for her first proper run through North America. One of the seven is downtown Baltimore.

Cleo Sol plays CFG Bank Arena on Friday, April 16, 2027, at 8 p.m. It's the second night of the Gentlewoman Tour and her first-ever Baltimore show. The arena holds 14,000. Tickets run $78.30 to $385.20 through Ticketmaster. General on-sale started Thursday, October 22, at 10 a.m. local time, so anyone still waiting on a presale code can stop waiting and go straight to the box office.

The tour was announced October 20 and is promoted by Live Nation. It's short and it's all arenas. It opens Tuesday, April 13, at Madison Square Garden, comes to Baltimore three nights later, then goes on to Toronto's Scotiabank Arena (April 19), Chicago's United Center (April 21), Atlanta's State Farm Arena (April 25) and the Kia Forum (April 28), before closing at Oakland Arena on May 1. Baltimore, Toronto, Chicago, Atlanta and Oakland are all first-time markets for her. That makes this a debut, not a return, and a big jump in scale.

The jump comes on the back of *Gentlewoman*, her fifth studio album, released August 20. As Variety noted, the New York date will be her arena debut there too, after three sold-out nights at Radio City Music Hall in March 2025. Going from a few theater nights to a seven-city arena run in about two years is a fast climb for someone who has done very little of the usual pop promotion.

Some Baltimore fans may know her voice before they know her name. Sol is a member of Sault, the deliberately low-profile collective that has released music with almost no publicity. The tour announcements don't say whether any Sault material will turn up in the set, so don't count on it. This is billed as her show, built around her own records.

Baltimore is one of five cities on this run hearing Cleo Sol live for the first time.

Then there's the room. CFG Bank Arena is the city's big indoor stage, the place where acts land when they've outgrown the clubs and theaters. A 14,000-capacity arena is a bold choice for music this intimate. Whether it feels like a living room or a cathedral will come down to production and how quiet the crowd is willing to be. A Friday-night 8 p.m. start helps: no weeknight rush from the office and no early-curfew crowd heading for the exits.

If you're planning around it, the April 13 New York opener and the April 16 Baltimore date are three days apart. Anyone in the region who missed her Radio City run now has a closer option.

It's a long way from April. But for a singer who has never played here, the night itself is the news: the first time Baltimore gets to hear these songs in the same room as the person who wrote them.
