Get ready to take it back to the ‘90s and the early 2000s!

SWV and Xscape announced they will co-headline a new tour, “Queens of R&B,” this summer with fellow R&B acts Mýa, 702, and Total joining them, according to People . The two iconic groups shared the news on Monday in an exclusive clip on Sherri Shepherd’s talk show, “Sherri.”  

In the clip, producer Mona Scott-Young acts as a therapist to the members of Xscape (Kandi Burruss, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, and Tamika Scott) and the members of SWV (Cheryl “Coko” Gamble, Tamara “Taj” George, and Leanne “Lelee” Lyons). 

“The most important thing in a relationship is communication,” Scott-Young says to the women. “Okay, you may not be saying much, but your presence here speaks volumes. It’s telling me that…you want to co-headline a 30-city tour across the country this summer.”

“Who said that?” Burruss responds, referencing her now-iconic “Real Housewives” appearance that has become a favored Internet meme . 

The “Queens of R&B” tour, produced by Scott-Young’s Monami Entertainment and Live Nation, will begin in June in Concord, California. Other cities on the tour include New York City, Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, and Atlanta.

“I’m incredibly honored to be part of this HERstory-making moment in R&B music, and to announce this tour during Women’s History Month makes it much more impactful,” Scott-Young told People. “What started as a television series turned into something much greater and I’m proud to be producing this tour, alongside Live Nation, as Xscape and SWV, along with incredible talents 702, Total and Mýa, embark on this journey together.” 

“These ladies have all given their all to R&B music, despite experiencing the ups and downs of life and career, and it is with great pride and excitement that we bring this highly anticipated concert experience to the fans.”

SWV and Xscape initially planned to go on tour in 2023, documenting the process on Bravo’s “SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B.” The tour never came to fruition, however, as the two groups were conflicted on who would be headlining. That disagreement seems to be in the past with both groups co-headlining the Queens of R&B tour. 

Tickets for the tour are available to purchase now with a Citi presale. Throughout the week, additional presales will run, concluding with the general sale on March 29 at 10 a.m. local time on Ticketmaster.

Xscape and SWV are hitting the road together!

The legendary groups are combining their talents for The Queens of R&B Tour, a new co-headling concert that will hit 30 cities across the country this summer.

PEOPLE can exclusively reveal that fellow greats MÝA , Total, and 702 will join the lineup as supporting acts.

News of the tour dropped Monday on Sherri Shepherd's self-titled talk show, Sherri. It came after a hilarious video went viral showing Xscape (featuring Kandi Burruss , Tameka “Tiny” Harris and Tamika Scott ) and SWV ( Cheryl “Coko” Gamble , Tamara “Taj” George and Leanne “Lelee” Lyons ) in a makeshift therapy session with television personality Mona Scott-Young.

Scott-Young's Monami Entertainment will produce the tour along with Live Nation.

The tour will kick off on June 27 in Concord, California, at the Toyota Pavilion. Among the 30 stops will be a prestigious venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York City and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.

Fans will remember that Xscape and SWV last collaborated on a 2023 Bravo series called SWV & XSCAPE: The Queens of R&B , which followed the female musicians — including Scott's sister LaTocha Scott-Bivens) as they attempted to get this tour off the ground. But internal conflicts and a debate over which group would headline prevented the tour from ever manifesting.

Now, the Queens of R&B Tour is finally happening — something the press release calls "a testament to the power of what can be accomplished when women come together with respect, admiration and undeniable talent," as well as "a celebration of passion, power, resilience and unstoppable ability to exceed expectations."

"I’m incredibly honored to be part of this HERstory making moment in R&B music, and to announce this tour during Women’s History Month makes it much more impactful," Scott-Young, 57, tells PEOPLE. "What started as a television series turned into something much greater and I’m proud to be producing this tour, alongside Live Nation, as Xscape and SWV, along with incredible talents 702, TOTAL and MYA, embark on this journey together."

"These ladies have all given their all to R&B music, despite experiencing the ups and downs of life and career, and it is with great pride and excitement that we bring this highly anticipated concert experience to the fans," she added.

History of R&B Music

R&B, which stands for Rhythm and Blues and is also referred to as R’n’B, is a form of popular music that emerged among African-American communities in the 1940s. It was made by African Americans and mostly targeted African Americans living in urban areas. For this reason, it was initially called “race music,” which was changed for being offensive.

This genre of music is believed to have derived from blues, jazz, folk, and gospel. It changed a lot over the decades. In the 1950s, it was mostly similar to rock n roll and was commonly categorized as such. It was used to refer to electric blues, soul, and gospel as well.

In the 1970s, R&B moved away from rock and was mostly identified with soul and funk. Starting from the 1980s, it was infused with pop, soul, funk, electronic, and hip-hop, resulting in contemporary R&B. The electric guitar was ditched for instruments such as keyboards, drum machines, and synthesizers, making the music very similar to hip-hop.

Biggest R&B Concerts

In the mood for some R&B concerts? Why not attend the Sol Blume Music Festival that takes place in Sacramento, California? It is particularly suited for modern fans of R&B.

The R&B Only Fest is also worth visiting. Organized by COLORS Worldwide, this festival takes place in multiple cities across the nation, so be on the lookout when it hits your city.

What Seats are the Best at a Concert

The answer varies with each venue, but generally, the seats in the middle offer the greatest musical experience. Not only is the sound quality great there, but you also get an amazing view of the stage and the performers. Be warned though: the good seats are also the most expensive. 

How to Buy Cheap Concert Tickets

Maybe you are a fan of modern-day R&B, or you miss the 90s old-school R&B concerts and want to experience them once again. All you need to do is buy some R&B concert tickets and you’ll be on your way to some music to fulfill your soul. We can help you with that – our website offers tickets at amazing prices from various sellers. Rest assured, all our ticket partners are verified and authentic.

Also, our event calendar is handy for locating upcoming R&B music concerts you’d like to attend. Don’t miss it when your favorite artist tours near you. You can search concerts by city, state, venue, date, or artist name – it’s really easy.

Monica, Tank, Tamar Braxton and More to Tapped for R&B Music Experience Tour

It kicks off this september..

Global Events Productions has unveiled a new lineup of R&B Music Experience shows for this fall, featuring headliners such as Monica, Tevin Campbell, Tank, Xscape and Tamar Braxton.

Taking place over the next four months on weekends, the shows will span nationwide, including Nashville, Tennessee; Birmingham, Alabama; Chicago; Tampa, Florida; Baltimore; and Miami.

Other R&B acts set to join for select dates include Trey Songz, Bell Biv DeVoe, Tyrese, K. Michelle, Ginuwine, 112, Tweet, Next, Silk and Shai. Dancehall artist Red Rat is also slated to perform on select dates.

The artist lineup varies per city, as indicated below. More dates are set to be announced soon. 

In June, Monica issued her latest single, “ Letters ,” alongside the video co-starring rapper The Game. It’s set to appear on her highly-awaited project, Trenches , due this fall.

That same month, Monica also launched MoTalk , her radio show on Apple Music. The first two episodes are available for streaming on the platform. 

Braxton’s single “ Changed ” is currently No. 2 on R&B radio and Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart. It has not been announced whether the track will be included in her upcoming project, which will be her first since Bluebird of Happiness in 2017.

Tank’s final album, R&B Money , produced four consecutive No. 1 singles on the charts, including “ See Through Love ” featuring Chris Brown. That latter triumph made Tank the first male solo act to achieve four No. 1s from one album on the Adult R&B chart.

Campbell may not have released new music in a while, but he is still in demand. He was featured on TV One’s Uncensored last season, and Usher presented Campbell with his flowers during his Las Vegas residency in September 2022.
