“I’m Not Done Yet”: Lenny Kravitz on Fire Again With His 2026 World Tour
“I’m not done yet.”
Lenny Kravitz leans back in his chair, sunglasses reflecting the warm light of his Bahamas studio. His voice, calm but charged with conviction, cuts through the quiet. “People keep talking like I’m supposed to slow down,” he says, smiling. “But I’ve never been interested in stopping. There’s still so much music in me.”
This week, Kravitz made good on that promise, officially announcing his 2026 world tour, his first global run in more than five years. The statement alone sent fans into a frenzy, but the tone — confident, defiant, and hopeful — reminded everyone why he’s still one of the most magnetic performers on the planet.
The Fire Still Burns
At 59, Kravitz remains an icon who refuses to age out of his own legend. The new tour, set to kick off in June 2026, will take him through Europe, North America, South America, and Asia.
“I’ve been around the world so many times,” he says with a laugh, “but this time feels different. I’ve evolved, the music has evolved — and I want the audience to feel that growth.”
He pauses, adjusting a guitar resting nearby. “Every night on stage is a conversation,” he continues. “It’s me talking to the crowd through the music. And sometimes, they talk back — louder than I do.”
The setlist, according to Kravitz, will blend his classic hits with newer tracks from his latest record, Blue Electric Light (2024). “We’re bringing Fly Away, Are You Gonna Go My Way, all the anthems,” he promises. “But there’ll also be moments of intimacy — new songs, stripped-down versions. It’s going to be personal.”
A Legacy of Sound
Since his 1989 debut Let Love Rule, Kravitz has carved out a space where rock, soul, funk, and spirituality collide. With over 40 million albums sold and four consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Male Rock Performance, he’s earned a reputation as a true artist’s artist — a multi-instrumentalist who lives and breathes the craft.
Still, he insists he’s far from finished.
“I don’t think creativity expires,” he says. “It’s like love — it changes form, but it never dies.”
The Vision for 2026
The upcoming tour will be a massive production, but Kravitz describes it in poetic terms. “It’s light, sound, motion — energy,” he says. “We’re designing something immersive, but the soul of it is still human. I want people to dance, cry, and leave feeling recharged.”
His longtime guitarist Craig Ross adds with a grin, “Lenny’s got that thing — he could walk into a room with just a guitar and silence everyone. Now imagine that multiplied by 20,000 people a night.”

The shows will include a rotating ensemble of musicians and surprise guests. “There are friends I’ve worked with over the years,” Kravitz teases. “You might see a few of them pop up. But no spoilers.”
The Soul Behind the Music
When asked what keeps him grounded after decades in the spotlight, Kravitz doesn’t hesitate. “The Bahamas,” he says. “This island raised me musically. I come here to breathe, to write, to remember who I am.”
He gestures toward his humble analog recording setup. “There’s magic in imperfection. I record everything here myself — the drums, the bass, the vocals. You can feel the fingerprints.”
That raw energy shaped Blue Electric Light, his most introspective album yet. Songs like TK421 pulse with futuristic groove, while Human strips things back to vulnerability.
“I was writing about connection,” he explains. “After everything the world went through, I wanted to remind people — we’re still here, still human, still capable of love.”
“I’m Not Done Yet”
As the conversation turns to legacy, Kravitz grows reflective. “People like to use words like ‘comeback,’” he says, shaking his head. “But I never left. I’ve just been living, creating, exploring. That’s what art is — a continuous motion.”
He smiles, that familiar glint of rebellion in his eyes. “I’ve been blessed with a long road, but the journey’s not over. There are still new sounds waiting for me.”
His team confirms that tickets will go on sale in February 2026, with exclusive pre-sales, VIP packages, and meet-and-greet experiences. Fans can sign up through lennykravitz.com for early access. Promoters predict high demand — especially in Europe and Latin America, where Kravitz’s shows often sell out within hours.
The Heart of the Matter
For all the glamour and global reach, Kravitz insists the tour’s meaning is simple. “It’s about connection,” he says softly. “That’s always been my message — love, unity, freedom. We’ve been through heavy times, and I want this tour to be a release. A reminder that the spirit is still strong.”
He picks up his guitar, strums a few quiet chords, and smiles again. “You know,” he says, “every note I play now feels like gratitude. I don’t take it for granted anymore.”
Then he leans forward and repeats the words that started it all — the mantra that’s become both challenge and celebration.
“I’m not done yet,” he says, his voice carrying both warmth and fire. “And honestly? I hope I never am.”
