MATISYAHU: Festival of Light

 

Described by the Miami New Times as "tremendous, zen-like, and enlightening," Matisyahu brings his stripped back acoustic show to venues across the United States. Presented in two parts, Matisyahu will highlight songs from his seminal breakout record Live at Stubb’s along with music from his new studio release Ancient Child (Oct 3, 2025) as well as additional fan favorites.

The stripped back setting allows the singer’s voice and beat-boxing virtuosity to expand through lyrical intensity, famed repertoire and musical improvisation. Each evening will chart a course through song and story, from Matisyahu’s breakout smash “King Without A Crown” to global hits like “One Day” and “Sunshine” through his spiritual wandering in “Surrender” and “Searchin” up through Ancient Child, his 8th studio release, which finds the singer returning to a deep love of Judaism and the existential quest to find universal meaning in the darkness with songs like “Sound Foundation” and “Crosswinds”.

An Evening with Matisyahu naturally digs deep into the meaning of the song itself, and lays Matisyahu’s spiritual journey bare, bringing a closeness to the artist-fan relationship
