It’s definitely not the end of the road for Boyz II Men, as the R&B legends announce another tour of Australia and New Zealand.
The vocal group, the preeminent R&B act of its era, leads a package of U.S. ‘90s heavyweights including Rock Hall-inducted rap act Salt-N-Pepa and, for the first time in Australia, hip-hop pioneers Bell Biv DeVoe.
As it stands, the nostalgia trip will visit six arenas and outdoor sites, kicking off Nov. 26 at Perth’s RAC Arena and wrapping Dec. 6 at Sirromet Wines at Queensland’s Mount Cotton, part of the a day on the green concerts brand.
With more than 64 million albums sold, plus four Grammy Awards, nine American Music Awards, nine Soul Train Awards, three Billboard Music Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Boyz II Men are one of the most successful R&B acts of them all. Now featuring a lineup of Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman, Boyz II Men enjoyed five No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100, including a 16-week reign for “One Sweet Day,” their 1995 collaboration with Mariah Carey; a 14-week run at the top for 1994’s “I’ll Make Love To You,” and 13 weeks of chart domination for 1992’s “End of the Road.”
With a slew of hits including “Push It,” “Shoop,” “Whatta Man” (with En Vogue) and “Let’s Talk About Sex,” Salt-N-Pepa are game-changers and history-makers, several times over. Cheryl “Salt” James, Sandra “Pepa” Denton and DJ Spinderella made history in 1995 as the first female rap act to win a Grammy Award, before earning the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and last year received the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame’s musical influence award.
Bell Biv DeVoe (Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe) made a bold influence on their scene, too. The trio’s 1990 debut album Poison peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and was at the forefront of the new jack swing movement, which combined elements of traditional soul and R&B with hip-hop. The album housed a string of hits, including “Poison” and “Do Me!” which both reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
MG Live, Frontier Touring and Arena Touring are producing the Australasian run, tickets for which go on sale Friday, July 17 at 11.00am local time with a day on the green, MG Live and Frontier Member presales beginning Wednesday, July 15 at 12.00pm local time.
All ticketing and tour information can be seen at mg.live.
