John Legend is bringing his acclaimed 2018 A Legendary Christmas album back on the road this year, with the 45-year-old EGOT winner unveiling a string of 11 festive U.S. shows slated for this holiday season.

As announced exclusively with People, the run will kick off Dec. 2 with a performance in Highland, Calif., followed by more dates in California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Oklahoma, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland. “My hope for these shows is that they feel like a gathering of friends by the fireside — where the music brings warmth, joy, and a sense of togetherness,” he told the publication.

“Over the years, I’ve experienced the holidays in so many ways, and each version of me — from my childhood to now as a father — has shaped the way I approach this season,” the “All of Me” vocalist continued. “I want to share that journey with the audience, through songs and stories that celebrate both the festive spirit and the moments that bring us closer. I hope people leave feeling like they’ve been part of something warm, familiar, and special.”

In addition to moments of storytelling about Legend’s career and life with his wife, model Chrissy Teigen, and their four children, the trek will see the musician joined by a four-piece band performing tracks — many of which are covers of holiday classics, such as “Silver Bells” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” — from A Legendary Christmas. Produced by Stevie Wonder and Raphael Saadiq, the LP peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard 200 in 2020.

Fans can secure tickets when a presale kicks off at 10 a.m. local time Monday (Oct. 7) on Legend’s website. A general public on sale will follow at 10 a.m. local time Wednesday (Oct. 9).

Legend previously toured in support of A Legendary Christmas in 2018, unveiling a 25-date trek in October of that year at the same time he announced the album. The Voice coach most recently dropped an album of children’s songs and lullabies titled My Favorite Dream, featuring cameos from Teigen, 8-year-old daughter Luna and 6-year-old son Miles.

“I’m right in the thick of fatherhood,” he wrote in a statement ahead of My Favorite Dream‘s release in August. “My parents loved to sing around the house, making up bedtime songs for us and songs to motivate and inspire us. And Chrissy and I also love singing to our kids. We make up little jingles and ditties for them all the time. In our home, music is very important to the way we interact and communicate with them.”
