Few voices have moved the world like Whitney Houston’s. More than a decade after her passing, the woman once known simply as The Voice is set to return to stages, not in person, but through a powerful blend of sound, memory, and music. Whitney’s legacy comes to life this fall in a fresh concert tour across North America.
Her estate, in partnership with Primary Wave Music, has announced The Voice of Whitney: A Symphonic Celebration to mark the 40th anniversary of her career. This tour will combine original and remastered vocals with full symphonic arrangements, rare interviews, and clips from her unforgettable performances. It’s more than a tribute, it’s a living experience of her sound and story.
The concert will feature reimagined versions of Whitney Houston’s songs

The show kicks off in Cincinnati on September 20 and will make stops in cities like Palm Desert, Thousand Oaks, and Mesa, Arizona. Each night, fans will hear reimagined versions of Houston’s most iconic songs, including “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me),” “I Will Always Love You,” and “Higher Love.” There’ll also be behind-the-scenes footage and interviews that have never been seen before.
Pat Houston, who manages the singer’s estate, said in a statement, “We are excited about the tour and Whitney’s 40th anniversary. There’s already talk of taking the show beyond the U.S. because Whitney had such a global audience. She even narrates the concert herself.”
Demands for tickets are expected to be high
Whitney Houston passed away in 2012 at the age of 48, but her voice continues to break barriers. With six Grammy Awards, 11 No. 1 hits, and roles in films like The Bodyguard and Cinderella, she left her mark on music and film history.
The upcoming tour is not just about nostalgia. It offers longtime fans and new audiences a chance to experience her genius in a new way through a symphonic lens. Tickets for The Voice of Whitney: A Symphonic Celebration are not yet on sale, but demand is expected to be high, judging by the tour’s sold-out history.
