Previously, Yusuf/ Cat Stevens announced the forthcoming release of his eagerly awaited memoir, Cat on the Road to Findout, slated for US availability on October 7, 2025. As a follow-up to the initial news, the “Wild World” singer will support the release by embarking on a seven-stop North American book tour, dubbed An Evening of Tales, Tunes and Other Mysteries.
According to the artist’s official press release, “Each night, Stevens will engage in an in-depth conversation about his new memoir, which chronicles his evolution from chart-topping pop star to spiritual explorer. The evening will also feature select unplugged performances of songs that have defined generations, offering an intimate journey through the life and music of one of the most beloved and enigmatic artists of our time.”
The tour is slated to begin on October 2 at Philadelphia’s The Met and will continue on October 6 with an evening on Boston’s Boch Center Theatre stage. Stevens’ schedule will take him to Toronto’s famed Massey Hall on October 8, before a Big Apple appearance at The Beacon on October 14. With intent to hit both coasts, Stevens will visit Chicago on the book tour and en route to San Francisco’s The Masonic on October 18, before ultimately closing US dates after a night at LA’s Dolby Theatre.
Speaking to the book and forthcoming tour, Stevens imparted, “Having passed through the exhaustingly complex maze of everyday material life, ascending the dizzying heights of wealth, recognition, and artistic achievements, I think I’ve got a few things to share. Keeping an open mind was part of the nature I instinctively maintained as a creative songwriter. Nothing was off-bounds. Music was a way of discovering my purpose within the universe. I just kept on exploring, reading, and learning more, ignoring myths and warnings and crossing dangerous-looking bridges into the vast ranges of philosophies and through the veils of the spiritual unknown.
Now I have written a book which explains what I’ve learned and the stories along the way. That doesn’t make me a teacher, but more of a potential specimen for those who are searching and pursuing happiness on all sides of the divide. Believe me, folks, it’s out there!”
Tickets will be available via an official artist presale starting on Wednesday, May 21, at 10 AM local time, including book bundles with tickets. Additional presales will run throughout the week before the general on-sale begins Friday, May 23, at 10 AM local time at LiveNation.com.
