SZA is sending another ‘S.O.S.’ this fall.
The popular R&B star, who toured all over the U.S. in February and March of this year, will return to the road for an additional 21 concerts with special guest Raye as part of her ‘SOS Tour’ from Sept. 20 through Oct. 29.
That includes a stop at Newark, NJ’s Prudential Center on Sunday, Oct. 1 followed by a pair of back-to-back gigs at Brooklyn, NY’s Barclays Center on Friday, Oct. 6 and Saturday, Oct. 7.
And if you haven’t gotten your tickets to hear the “Kill Bill” star — who just made headlines for her controversial “Slime You Out” single with Drake — perform live, now’s the time to act fast.
As of now, tickets are available for all 21 shows.
They’re not exactly cheap though.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find was $98 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Other shows have seats starting in the $100 to $215 range before fees.
Still, given that you get to hear SZA perform tracks from her chart topping albums “CTRL” or “SOS” live more than justifies the cost in our book.

SZA “SOS” album
In addition to its commercial success, the 23-song “SOS” has proven to be a hit with critics as well.
Rolling Stone said the record “delivers sharp barbs and juicy revelations” in a four-star review.
“SZA’s long, ambitious, luxurious new album solidifies her position as a generational talent,” raves Pitchfork. They summed up that sentiment calling her “otherworldly, but you just might know someone a little like her, too.”
If you want to brush up on the record before you see her live, you can stream “SOS” here.
SZA opening act
At each of her 21 shows, SZA will be joined by rising star Raye.
Although she’s only 25, the singer-songwriter has already produced tracks for stars like Beyoncé, Rihanna, David Guetta, John Legend. and Ellie Goulding.
As a solo artist, she blew up with the release of her hypnotic single “Escapism.”
That’s far from her only hit though — we suggest checking out “BED,” “Secrets” and “You Don’t Know Me” if you’re looking to do a deep dive.
