Retro future Tour New Edition, the legendary R&B vocal group, is preparing for the biggest tour of their career in 2026. They’ll be celebrating their incredible music, legacy, and deep bond with fans from coast to coast. The highly anticipated tour will start on January 28, 2026 at Oakland Arena in Oakland, California. It will circulate across 30 cities, including all coastal metropolitan areas and big urban hubs like Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and New York City.
This upcoming tour is a huge achievement! For the first time ever, New Edition will be appearing on stage with Boyz II Men. About the Presenting Partners This unique collaboration will undoubtedly provide a one-of-a-kind experience for fans of both organizations. With the suggestion and encouragement from Mike Bivins of New Edition, Mike ran with it. He made a personal appeal to Boyz II Men to invite them to be part of the tour.
The cast features one of the best-selling recording artists ever, Toni Braxton, who is hailed as the bona fide queen. Her presence adds a unique dynamic, bringing what Ronnie DeVoe refers to as a “little feminine energy” to the stage.
“Here’s the vision: all three of us on the same stage every night — not taking turns, actually performing together. Fans all around us going crazy. No barriers. No separation. An original music experience,” – New Edition
The tour aims to create a vibrant atmosphere where all three acts perform simultaneously, enhancing the concert experience for attendees. After an incredible year creating music, community, and transition together, New Edition is looking forward to taking their residency to even greater professional, artistic, and collaborative heights. Johnny Gill, Mike Bivins, and the rest of the group are coming up with creative concepts. They are looking to improve on their performance on the road with Boyz II Men and Braxton.
“It will be like nine kings and a queen. The next level starts now,” – New Edition
Tickets for this highly anticipated tour will go on sale to the general public on October 31 at 10 a.m. local time, with various presales available leading up to the public release. Fans will be treated to a spectacular production that fuses the amazing musical legacies of these iconic artists.
