In 1983, New Edition released its debut album, Candy Girl. Within the last 40 years, the group—comprised of Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, Michael Bivins, Ricky Bell, Johnny Gill, and Ronnie DeVoe—has evolved, and now the men are set to embark on their biggest celebration to date.
After their successful run with The Culture Tour, the sextet will hit the road yet again for another musical excursion in 2023: the Legacy Tour. The 30-city tour includes a New Jack Swing reunion with all of the original members of Guy—Teddy Riley, Aaron Hall, and Damion Hall—alongside Keith Sweat and Tank. This will also mark the first time the “I Like” trio has toured together in over 15 years.
“Few recording artists can attest to a superior 40-year career that stands the test of time, but New Edition can,” said Black Promoters Collective CEO Gary Guidry in a statement. ”When we partnered with NE for “The Culture” tour, although I knew it would be stellar, their show exceeded my expectations, the guys were nothing short of miraculous. We are excited about partnering with New Edition to further the legacy of the foundation they have already laid.”
The Legacy Tour kicks in early March and will wrap up on April 30. Presale tickets for American Express cardholders will be available from Wednesday (Dec. 14) at 10 a.m. local time until Thursday (Dec. 15) at 11:59 p.m. local time. Tickets for the general public go on sale on Friday (Dec. 16) at 10 a.m. local time and will range from $59.50 to $179.50.
Additionally, New Edition will present new music that wasn’t performed in The Culture Tour, “giving their fans a whole new experience.” Regarding their new tour, Brown told TMZ, “We have a brotherhood that’s unstoppable. We take pride in what we do. New Edition is forever.”
