Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens at Beacon Theatre

CAT ON THE ROAD TO FIND OUT TOUR. 

Yusuf Islam, better recognized as Cat Stevens, is making a long-overdue appearance at the historic Beacon Theatre in the Big Apple, New York, on Sunday, 12 October. This performance is part of his 2025 roadshow, set to draw attention to his recent book, “Cat On The Road To Find Out.” This series of shows covers a multitude of city destinations across North America and the UK. A combination of personal accounts and on-stage performances of his legendary songs is expected to form a major part of the concert, making it a homage to his journey. Details indicate there will be no opening artists for this show, keeping the spotlight on Yusuf's personal presentation.

YUSUF ISLAM - CAT STEVENS. 

Yusuf Islam, earlier in his career, was referred to as Cat Stevens. He is back to deliver, from his deep library of loved tunes, songs that have stood the test of two decades in time. Favorites like “Wild World,” “The First Cut Is the Deepest,” and “Lady D’Arbanville,” after all this time away, still manage to stir an excitement with his fans. His 2016 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ranks among his accomplishments. However, he is more recently known for his acclaimed humanitarian work in schooling and the awarding of several prizes, like the Person for Peace award from the Nobel Peace Prize winners, for his involvement in various peace initiatives. His shift to Islam in 1977 had an influence on his music and his career. His 2023 release of his album, “King of a Land,” has included songs like “Pagan Run.” King of a Land combines some of his signature elements mingled with some new message lines. Web sources highlight this tour as his first U.S. run in nearly a decade, unsurprisingly adding to the anticipation.  

An interesting tidbit about him: Yusuf, in his desire to 'give back,' had earlier sold his guitars to aid his philanthropic causes.
