Kali Uchis opens The Sincerely Tour with a 36-song celebration of a decade of music
Kali Uchis launches The Sincerely Tour in Portland on Aug. 14, delivering a sprawling 36-song set that sweeps through her entire discography. The show blends the dreamy textures of her new 2025 album, Sincerely, with the energy and introspection of her earlier work, tracing a sonic arc from the breakout Por Vida era to the Spanish-language triumph Orquídeas, which climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
“This tour feels like a return to myself,” Uchis told Billboard Español in a recent Zoom interview. She also revealed that she shared the setlist on Instagram the day before the opening night, underscoring the effort and attention to detail that went into a performance she describes as both nostalgic and celebratory. “Even though it’s called The Sincerely Tour, it’s really a celebration of my entire discography. I wanted to make something where, if this were my last tour, I’d be proud of it.”
Fans can expect a mix of deep cuts and fan favorites. The show is built around tracks like “Sycamore Tree” and “Rush,” alongside beloved hits such as “Telepatía” and “After the Storm” featuring Tyler, The Creator. It also marks the first live performances of songs from Orquídeas, including “Muñekita” and “Labios Mordidos.” To reinforce the album’s nostalgic vibe, Uchis has tapped Thee Sacred Souls as openers, a choice she says authentically captures the mood and sound she’s channeling on stage.
The tour emphasizes a broad, immersive experience rather than a single-pocket spotlight. With major stops planned at venues like Madison Square Garden and The Kia Forum, The Sincerely Tour promises a radiant showcase of Uchis’ genre-blending storytelling—from dreamy R&B to pop-inflected soul and multilingual appeal.
