Live Nation Urban (LNU) have announced a new series of one-of-a-kind shows continuing their partnership with modern R&B master Jacquees. In February, Jacquees will perform a handful of special Valentine’s Day concerts in California, hitting Los Angeles, San Diego, and Sacramento. Jaz Karis, another artist pushing the boundaries of contemporary R&B, will join as support for Jacquees — the lineup making for the perfect soundtrack to the holiday that’s all about romance.

The Valentine’s Day shows follow a year of collaboration between Live Nation Urban and Jacquees. In the first half of 2025, LNU presented the F#*K A FRIEND ZONE tour, Jacquees and Dej Loaf’s co-headlining run across America. Picking up from where their 2017 collab album Fuck A Friend Zone left off, Jacquees and Dej Loaf released new singles “Favorite One” and “Just Another Love Song” and earned a nomination for Best Group at the 2025 BET Awards.

The announcement follows a 2025 of successful LNU campaigns beyond the the F#*K A FRIEND ZONE tour, including the Roots Picnic, BET Experience, Broccoli City, Black On The Block, and Lil’ Weezyana Fest. Recently, LNU helped launch the beginnings of two tours that will wrap 2025 and continue into 2026: the celebratory Girls Love Karaoke, and the return of R&B legends 112 on the Room 112 Tour. LNU has also partnered with Student Freedom Initiative to announce HBCU Awarefest, the largest HBCU fundraiser in history. Taking over Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on March 26, 2026, the festival boasts a stacked lineup including John Legend, Common, Earth, Wind, & Fire,GloRilla, Metro Boomin, and more.

About Jaz Karis

Jaz Karis is getting ready to take off. The south London singer-songwriter has been making waves with her silky voice and lyrical, candid pen since her first EP back in 2017, building herself up steadily over the years. 2024 will see the long-awaited arrival of Jaz Karis’ debut album, Safe Flight, out September 20th.

It’s a record about her journey so far, with her many trips back and forth between home and LA, figuring herself out in these new places. The imagery all pertains to identity and travel – IDs, lanyards, videos shot on nostalgia-tinged film footage, all highlighting the path that Jaz Karis is on. Even the features and collaborations spotlight a global outlook, with appearances from the likes of Mahalia, Juls, Reekado Banks, June Freedom, Tone Stith, and more. Accordingly, the record also spans a breadth of sonics: slinky Afrobeats, gleaming R&B, warm gospel, shimmering flecks of pop, hip-hop, jazz and amapiano, all woven through with the glowing thread of Jaz’s signature soulful feeling. “Soul to me is a feeling,”she explains, “All I want to do with my music is evoke feelings.”

Safe Flight finds an accomplished, assured artist reflecting on where she’s been and ready to step up to the next level. At once soulful, vibey and poignant, this is an album about embracing possibility, admitting mistakes, and trusting the process. “It’s about getting free,” Jaz says with a smile, “And it’s not that I have it all figured out now or anything, but I’m on this learning curve. There’s something exciting about being on the journey.”
