Not many artists that started performing in 1955 are on tour these days.
Then again, not many artists are Smokey Robinson.
The 1987 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, who just dropped “Gasms,” his first album in over a decade, has eight concerts lined up from November 2023 all the way up until June 2024.
That includes gigs at Huntington, NY’s The Paramount on Wednesday, Nov. 29 and Atlantic City, NJ’s Etess Arena at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on Friday, Dec. 1.
At the time of publication, prices for all Smokey shows start anywhere from $70 to $107 before fees on Vivid Seats.

Smokey Robinson new music
This year, Robinson released his first new album featuring original material since 2009.
“Gasms,” his 23rd solo record, is more explicit than his typical work.
For a taste, we recommend checking out the final song and album highlight, “I Fit In There” to sample what Smokey’s been up to.
However, if you want to hear the jazzy, soulful offering, you can listen to all nine tracks here.
