Titled “To Be Free: San Francisco,” the “Stay With Me” singer will perform eight shows at the historic Castro Theater in February 2026. The neighborhood is known as an essential location in the history of LGBTQ+ rights, and remains the epicenter of the community in San Francisco. ADVERTISEMENTThe San Francisco residency will follow another residency the artist has planned on the East Coast. Like their San Francisco residency, the title of the New York show takes its name from Smith’s recent single “To Be Free,” released in July.
