Starring all six members, Ronnie DeVoe, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ralph Tresvant, and Johnny Gill, this is the group’s first tour in more than five years. Often credited as the creators of the modern-day boy bands, New Edition will attract fans old and new. Viewers experienced a sense of nostalgia during the American Music Awards in November 2021, when New Edition performed alongside 80’s boy band New Kids On The Block. They have remained one of the most influential R&B groups of the last 30 years and counting, catapulting the solo careers of Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant, and Bell Biv DeVoe. That same year, the network honored them with the BET Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing the group as one of the innovators of R&B. The mini-series attracted 29 million total viewers. In 2017, BET Network released their three-part biopic: The New Edition Story, airing over three consecutive nights. Since then, New Edition has released more than six studio albums, received multiple Soul Train and American Music Awards, and a Grammy Award nomination. In 1983, New Edison released their debut single “Candy Girl” off their self-titled album, hitting No.1 on the Billboard Hot Black Single Charts, jumping ahead of Michael Jackson‘s Beat It. The Culture Tour kicks off a 30-city tour on February 16, 2022, in Columbus, Ga., with stops in Los Angeles, New York, and New Edition’s hometown of Boston. Veteran R&B group New Edition headlines an iconic lineup, including the legendary Charlie Wilson, along with special guest Jodeci, the bad boys of R&B.
