This is not a practice session; Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, and Stephanie Mills are set to go on a tour!
The four legendary powerhouse singers made the announcement on March 18 that they would be working together to embark on The Queens Tour, which will take place in North American venues in the spring of 2025.
The dates were posted on Instagram by Khan, who is 71 years old. In the caption, he stated, “I am beyond excited to hit the road with three incredible women — Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, and Stephanie Mills — for a tour that will be nothing short of legendary!”
“The Queens are bringing the music and the magic to a city near you,” the spokesperson for the “I’m Every Woman” performer, subsequently adding: “This is a celebration you won’t want to miss — who’s coming?”
Beginning on May 9 at the Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, the tour will go to a number of cities, including Los Angeles, Nashville, Baltimore, New York City, Chicago, Cincinnati, and others, before coming to a close on June 1 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Using the code “BPC,” tickets will be made available for the first time via a presale on March 20 at 10 a.m. local time. The public on-sale will begin on March 21 at 10 a.m. Eastern Time.
During the months of September and October, the Black Promoters Collective, the organization that is in charge of putting on the tour, has announced that a second leg of events would take place in North America.
There are a lot of songs that the four women have, from Knight’s “Midnight Train to Georgia” and Khan’s “I Feel for You” to LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade” and Mills’ “Never Knew Love Like This Before.” The Queens Tour is going to be a huge celebration of all of these classics, and it will be a huge celebration.
The total number of Grammy Awards that Knight, Khan, LaBelle, and Mills have won together is 18.
