John Legend can usually sell out theaters and pack arenas, but he’s keeping it intimate for his next show in Tampa Bay.

Tickets to see John Legend play the Hard Rock Event Center at Tampa’s Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Oct. 29 go on sale Thursday, June 20 are start at $275.
The venue—which hosted an intimate show from Alicia Keys last year—holds just 1,500 people, making for one of the more coveted concert situations in Tampa. A press release says the show will feature reworked versions of Legend’s biggest hits, stories and cuts from his new album, Legend.

It’s not Legend’s most intimate local performance though. In 2017 at the Tampa Convention center, he played a three-song set and spoke to young people at the Black Brown and College Bound summit.
