The Black Promoters Collective has recently announced that ’80s boy group, New Edition, is headlining a new tour with Boyz II Men and Toni Braxton joining them on the road.
The New Edition Way Tour, coming less than two months after the popular R&B group was celebrated in their hometown of Boston with a street renamed “New Edition Way,” will head to Oakland in January 2026.
Collectively, the members of New Edition have amassed multiple #1 singles, American Music Awards, and Soul Train Awards, and have sold over 50 million albums—solidifying their position as one of the most influential groups in music history.
All members of New Edition Way will be on the tour–Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe, and Johnny Gill.
The tour will land in 30 cities across the country, starting Jan. 29, 2026, with the first performance taking place at the Oakland Arena in California, rolling through New Edition’s hometown of Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and New York, before ending in Houston on April 4, 2026, at the Toyota Center, ABC News reports.
“New Edition and Boyz II Men. We’ve never, all these years, never shared the stage together,” Johnny Gill says.
Fans and music lovers can purchase tickets online through Ticketmaster starting on Halloween, Oct. 31, at 10:00 AM local time. Tickets can also be bought at participating venue box offices.
Presales will take place from Oct. 27 through Oct. 30 at 11:59 p.m.
