The Black Promoters Collective has announced a monumental R&B event for 2026: “The New Edition Way Tour.” This 30-city North American run features a powerhouse lineup consisting of New Edition, Boyz II Men, and Toni Braxton. The tour title pays homage to the legendary status of New Edition, particularly in their hometown of Boston, where a street was recently renamed in their honor to celebrate their decades of cultural influence. This series of shows offers a unique “360° view” stage design, specifically engineered to provide an immersive and intimate experience for fans in arenas across the continent. This tour serves as a factual celebration of three acts that defined the sound of contemporary R&B and soul.
Significantly, this tour marks the first time that New Edition and Boyz II Men will share a concert stage together. The two groups share a deep history, as New Edition’s Michael Bivins famously discovered and mentored Boyz II Men early in their career. Joining them is seven-time Grammy winner Toni Braxton, whose sultry vocals and iconic hits like “Un-Break My Heart” add a sophisticated layer to the supergroup lineup. The production promises a collaborative spirit, with all three acts performing together to create a seamless, high-energy musical experience. From the choreographed precision of New Edition to the flawless harmonies of Boyz II Men, “The New Edition Way” is set to be one of the most significant live events of the 2026 concert season.
