Erykah Badu
Erykah Badu, the iconic neo-soul singer and avant-garde style pioneer, brings her genre-defining sound to Wolf Trap’s Filene Center for a single evening on September 20, 2026. She is joined by legendary hip-hop group De La Soul—fresh off their 2025 album *Cabin in the Sky* and known for classics like “Me Myself and I”—as well as prolific producer and longtime Eminem concert DJ The Alchemist. The concert promises a rich blend of soulful vocals and hip-hop history, with Badu performing hits from her Grammy-winning debut *Baduizm* (“On & On”) and later smashes such as “Tyrone” and “Love of My Life” featuring Common.
