Live Nation Urban has promised that the Summer Block Party Tour—starring Jodeci, SWV, and Dru Hill—will be one of the biggest R&B tours of 2023.
The tour’s North American run begins on July 28 in Charlotte, N.C., and will hit other major cities (Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, Houston, and Los Angeles) before concluding in early September.
“Y’all asked for it and here we come,” said Jodeci in a video shared on Sunday (April 9). “Can’t wait to see y’all. Jodeci for life, baby,” added K-Ci.
The artists presale goes live on Tuesday, April 25 at 10 a.m. local time followed by the Live Nation presale on Thursday, April 27 at 10 a.m. local time. General on-sale will be available on Friday, April 28 at 10 a.m. local time.
Jodeci first announced their reunion in December 2021 before joining New Edition’s The Culture Tour in 2022 as a supporting act with Charlie Wilson. Following SWV’s controversial tour attempt with Xscape, the trio is excited to co-headline this tour. Although Dru Hill’s Verzuz with Jodeci never came to be, fans can look forward to seeing how these R&B groups will interact on the road.
