Check ticket availability and on-sale details. Presales ran through Ticketmaster, Live Nation, and venue partners and have now closed. TourSetlist reports average ticket prices near $56 USD, with some markets starting around $19 USD, while other marketplaces show different ranges. Official channels and the OnesToWatch links above provide the most reliable access, and secondary resale often carries higher prices and greater risk.
For the latest confirmations, follow Nick Hakim’s verified channels and check Ticketmaster and venue box offices directly.
What the Itinerary Reveals
The schedule highlights how Hakim and his team are framing this album cycle. Five themes stand out.
First, the tour functions as a post-release campaign. The run begins nearly two months after the July 24, 2026 release of “I Can See,” aligning with standard post-release touring strategy for artists in a breakout phase.
Second, venue size mirrors Hakim’s current draw. Rooms such as Warsaw at roughly 1,100 capacity, Brudenell Social Club at 400, and King Tut’s at 300 sit in the tier where artists shift from development into consistent headline revenue.
Third, the international reach is notable. The 22 announced dates cover the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Belgium.
Fourth, the choice of intimate rooms supports the album’s intent. Hakim has described “I Can See” as an invitation to look inward and as music that aims to offer a moment of peace, and these venues keep that experience close and personal.
Fifth, first-party confirmations matter. Birmingham, Amsterdam, and Antwerp appear inconsistently across aggregators, and cross-checking against official and editorial sources clarifies the actual route.
How to Buy Tickets and What to Expect
For the six OnesToWatch-featured North American dates, use the direct ticket links in the Featured Ticket Links section. For other North American shows, Ticketmaster and Live Nation serve as primary official sellers. For UK and European dates, start with each venue’s site, then cross-check major ticketing platforms.
Based on Hakim’s August 2025 concert at Lena Horne Bandshell in Brooklyn, a representative set draws from across his catalog, including “Feeling Myself,” “Roller Skates,” “Green Twins,” “Vertigo,” and “Qadir.” New material from “I Can See” adds songs such as “Know My Name,” “Endlessly Waiting,” “Real Here Now,” “River Rising,” and “Water.”
Admission formats vary by room. Some venues, like Aladdin Theater in Portland, offer seated layouts, while others are fully standing. Doors typically open 30 to 60 minutes before showtime, with many listings showing 7:00 PM doors and 8:00 PM performances. Gretchen in Berlin lists 19:00 doors and a 20:00 start. Early arrival helps, especially given the small capacities.
