Jhene Aiko in Phoenix: Ultimate guide to her Footprint Center concert
Jhene Aiko brings her Magic Hour Tour to Footprint Center in downtown Phoenix on Thursday, Aug. 1.
This is Aiko’s first headlining tour in five years. Her performance was hailed as "the most artistically inspired set" of the weekend by The Arizona Republic when she performed at the Pot of Gold Festival in Phoenix in 2019.
"The fact that Aiko's most compelling onstage foil was a female harpist would've been enough to separate her from the pack at this or any other music festival," we wrote.
"But that was merely one of several aesthetic choices that contributed to elevating her performance, which was soulfully subdued and artistically challenging but also focused on connecting with the fans, a side of live performance that too often gets forgotten in shows as artistically focused as Aiko's."
Before Aiko launched the Magic Hour Tour, she brought home raves for her performance at the 2024 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.
