The rap icon Eve has announced a tour through the UK and the EU for 2026, celebrating the 25th anniversary of her groundbreaking platinum album "Scorpion." The tour kicks off in October 2026 and includes a performance in London at the O2 Forum Kentish Town on November 2. This will be her first headlining tour in the UK and the EU. The announcement follows the release of a limited 2LP anniversary edition of "Scorpion" in red and black, as well as Eve co-hosting the MOBO Awards 2026 in Manchester last month. The anniversary tour is a clear statement celebrating the enduring legacy of one of the most legendary albums in hip-hop history.
The "Scorpion 25th Anniversary Tour" includes 15 dates across Europe and the UK, starting on October 9 in Helsinki. It will then travel through major European cities in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Austria, the UK, France, and Switzerland, concluding in Amsterdam on November 4. Fans can register for ticket sales starting today at 1:00 PM CET. The artist presale begins on Tuesday, April 28, at 10:00 AM local time, with general sales starting on Thursday, April 30, also at 10:00 AM local time.
With some of the most famous hip-hop songs of all time, including "Who’s That Girl" and the Grammy-winning hit "Let Me Blow Ya Mind," "Scorpion" conquered album charts worldwide, achieving platinum status in the USA and Canada, as well as gold in the UK and France. From Eve's sharp lyrics and precise flow to the iconic artwork and legendary music videos, "Scorpion" was a powerful statement of talent, determination, and independence.
Her second album solidified her status as the "First Lady" of Ruff Ryders among the greats, featuring an impressive array of guest artists on 16 tracks, including Gwen Stefani, DMX, Damian, and Stephen Marley. Even 25 years later, the album remains as powerful and relevant as ever, having been streamed over a billion times.
As only the third female rapper ever to top the US charts with her debut album, Eve is considered one of the defining voices in hip-hop. The two-time Grammy winner has not only achieved commercial success but has also received significant critical acclaim. She has sold over 10 million records worldwide with four studio albums and has been featured on hits by artists such as Alicia Keys, Gwen Stefani, The Roots, Missy Elliott, Janet Jackson, Doja Cat, Honey Dijon, Prince, Nate Dogg, Sean Paul, and Shaggy.
Eve has also found success on screen: she has appeared in numerous film and television productions and co-hosted the CBS talk show "The Talk," for which she was nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards.
