Music fans, mark your calendars: four of R&B's all-time heaviest hitters—Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, and Stephanie Mills—are hitting the road together for The Queens Tour, billed as "Four Legends, One Stage." Produced by the Black Promoters Collective, this national arena run kicks off May 9 at Las Vegas' Michelob ULTRA Arena, covers 11 cities through June 1, and adds a second leg in September. If you love classic soul, powerhouse vocals, and live medleys that span decades, this is your lineup. Presales start 10 a.m. March 20 at BPCtickets.com, general tickets drop March 21 via Ticketmaster and venues—expect quick sellouts.
Chaka Khan brings her Rock Hall fire with tracks like "I'm Every Woman" and "Ain't Nobody." Gladys Knight delivers "Midnight Train to Georgia" and "Neither One of Us" with that unmistakable Empress touch. Patti LaBelle hits hard on "Lady Marmalade" and "On My Own," fresh off recent East Coast arena dates. Stephanie Mills, Brooklyn's own and a Hadestown Broadway standout, closes strong with "Home" and "Never Knew Love Like This Before." These Grammy winners (ages 67 to 80) share the stage for first-time collabs, blending their styles into must-hear moments—no gimmicks, just raw vocal runs and harmonies.
Fans are already buzzing from the announcement. Khan called it a celebration of music's joy, power, and love. Mills promised an electrifying show united by compassion. LaBelle labeled them sisters. Knight highlighted the harmony and support. It's straightforward: veteran R&B stars delivering the hits you grew up on, live and loud.
BPC knows how to book Black music excellence, and this tour fits right in—perfect for multigenerational crowds. Boomers get their classics, millennials relive mixtape faves, and younger fans discover the roots. Shows run in major markets like Brooklyn's Barclays Center (May 24), with full choreo, big production, and setlists packed with No. 1s.
Why Go? Expect epic mashups—"Tell Me Something Good" into "Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me"—and crowd singalongs that turn arenas into parties. Tickets range from general admission to VIP; check your city below and lock in early.
