Victoria Monét Brings the Frequency of Love Tour to the Aragon

Six weeks after her second album landed, the three-time Grammy winner plays Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom on Wednesday, Nov 18.

Three years is a long time to wait between albums in pop, and Victoria Monét has said that kind of gap should be normal. Chicago gets to hear what the wait produced on Wednesday, Nov 18, when the Frequency of Love Tour reaches Uptown.

Victoria Monét plays Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom on Wednesday, Nov 18, 2026, at 7pm. Tickets are through Ticketmaster. The Aragon holds 5,000, so this is a full ballroom night rather than a club gig.

The record behind the tour is *Frequency of Love*, Monét's second studio album, released Oct 2, 2026 through Lovett Music/RCA Records. It follows *Jaguar II*, the 2023 album that won her a Grammy, and it is a big swing: 22 tracks, with a guest list that includes SZA, Bruno Mars, Leon Thomas, Hazel Monét, Bryson Tiller, Lucky Daye and Chlöe. "Let Me," "Reach Out" and "Juicy" were out ahead of the album, and "Juicy" arrived the same day she confirmed the tour.

The tour itself is a 27-city North American run that opened Oct 27 in Raleigh and wraps Dec 17 in San Francisco. By the time it gets to Chicago it will have already worked through Charlotte, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale, so the show should be well settled by mid-November. Expect the set to lean on the new album, with room for the *Jaguar* era that made her a headliner.

The guest list on Frequency of Love reads like a who's who of modern R&B.

There's also something attached to the ticket beyond the show. Alongside the tour, Monét is launching The Frequency of Love Foundation, a youth-focused education and wellness initiative, and fans can add a $1 donation at checkout to fund its community garden programs. It's a small ask, and it's the kind of detail that tells you how she's framing this whole album cycle: less about a comeback, more about what the music is for.

For Chicago, the Aragon is the right size for this moment. A 5,000-capacity ballroom on Lawrence Avenue is big enough to feel like an event and small enough that the back of the floor still sees the stage. It's a weeknight, and doors at a ballroom this size can mean a line down the block, so give yourself time to get there and through security before the 7pm start. The Red Line's Lawrence stop puts you close.

If you only know Monét from the *Jaguar II* run, this is a good night to catch up. If you've had *Frequency of Love* on repeat since October, you already know what you're going for.
