Joss Stone bigger than ever: with a 40-piece orchestra and choir at the Queen Elisabeth Hall in Antwerp on 30 November for her ‘Merry Christmas, Love Tour’
Grammy and Brit Award winner Joss Stone comes to Antwerp on 30 November 2026 with her Merry Christmas, Love Tour. At the Queen Elisabeth Hall, she brings a special, atmospheric evening of soul, Christmas classics and her distinctive voice. For this unique show, she is accompanied by a symphony orchestra and choir of more than 40 musicians, giving her music an extra impressive and warm dimension.
The Merry Christmas, Love Tour is inspired by Stone’s 2022 Christmas album Merry Christmas, Love, on which she gives her own soulful twist to beloved Christmas songs such as ‘Away in a Manger’, ‘In the Bleak Midwinter’ and ‘Let It Snow’, alongside her own songs ‘Bring on Christmas Day’ and ‘If You Believe’. Expect a warm and festive evening where timeless Christmas music, soul and Joss Stone’s characteristic voice come together with the rich sound of a symphony orchestra and choir of more than 40 musicians. The perfect soundtrack to get into the Christmas spirit.
Joss Stone made her international breakthrough in 2003 with her acclaimed debut album “The Soul Sessions”, released when she was just 16. The album reached number one on the UK R&B chart, while her follow-up “Mind Body & Soul” topped the UK album chart and featured the hit “You Had Me”. Since then, the Grammy and Brit Award winner has released nine studio albums and sold more than 15 million records worldwide.
Throughout her career, Stone has worked with an impressive list of music legends, including James Brown, Burt Bacharach, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Sting, Van Morrison, Melissa Etheridge, Jeff Beck, Mick Jagger and Damian Marley. Her music has also passed one billion streams in the United States alone.
In 2014, Stone completed her ambitious Total World Tour, performing in every country in the world and working with local artists and charities. To mark 20 years in music, she then went on the road with the “20 Years of Soul” tour, followed by the Ellipsis Tour in 2024 and the intimate “Less Is More” tour in 2025.
Alongside her music career, Stone keeps exploring new creative paths. With soul singer Lemar, she co-hosts the lifestyle and relationship podcast “A Cuppa Love”. She is also working on new material for her tenth studio album, scheduled for release in 2027.
For the ‘Merry Christmas, Love Tour’, €1 from every ticket sold goes directly to charity. The money is donated to the Joss Stone Foundation, which supports children and young people, families, older people, animal welfare, environmental causes and a range of social issues around the world.
