Leon Thomas Announces 'Mutts Don't Heel' World Tour

Yesterday (June 10th), Grammy-Award winning artist Leon Thomas kicked off his week by announcing his MUTTS DON’T HEEL World Tour, produced by Live Nation. The tour is in support of HEEL, the deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed sophomore album MUTT, out now via EZMNY/Motown Records.

The North American leg kicks off October 30th in Dallas, TX, with stops in Austin, Nashville, Atlanta, Brooklyn, Toronto, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Rising R&B standout Ambré will join as support across the U.S. and Canada. Tickets will be available starting with an artist presale beginning Wednesday, June 11th. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning Friday, June 13th at 10am local time at https://laylo.com/leonthomas/m/muttsdontheel. In 2026, the tour heads abroad with a run of European dates including London’s Eventim Apollo, Paris’ Élysée Montmartre, Berlin’s Huxleys Neue Welt, and Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre. From there, Leon brings the show to Australia with performances in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.

Leon recently released MUTT Deluxe: HEEL, a natural continuation of the original, digging deeper into his sonic universe and fetching a bold blend of psychedelic R&B, rock textures, soul, and boundary-pushing production. New collaborations with Kehlani, Big Sean, and Halle elevate the project’s emotional and musical scope, as Leon hones his reflections on singlehood, connection, and self-exposure. With tightly crafted compositions and distinct creative clarity, Thomas delivers a fearless extension of his signature sound–unleashing bite where MUTT once explored duality. HEEL doesn’t just follow; it bares its teeth. Listen HERE.

Leon is currently the digital cover star of GAFFER Magazine and performed “NOT FAIR” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on June 3rd. Last night, he won Best New Artist and tore down the stage at the 2025 BET Awards.

Leon Thomas continues to redefine modern R&B, becoming an emblem of the genre and shaping its cultural landscape. The certified platinum MUTT has garnered widespread critical acclaim, named the #1 R&B Album of 2024 by Billboard and VIBE. It has also earned spots on several other Best of 2024 lists, further solidifying its status as one of the year’s standout releases. From a viral Tiny Desk to BET nods and Hot 100 climbs, Thomas has spent the last year rewriting R&B’s rulebook. With MUTT Deluxe: HEEL, Leon pushes his momentum further–fiercer, bolder, and taking his vision even further. Check out the tour’s itinerary above. Congrats to Leon Thomas and the run he’s currently on!
