The tour’s name, The New Edition Way, pays tribute to the group’s historic recognition by their beloved hometown, the city of Boston, where a street was recently renamed New Edition Way in honor of their profound cultural and musical impact. This distinction cements their legacy as pioneers who transformed R&B, birthed superstars, and built a blueprint for generations to follow.
New Edition stands as the ultimate supergroup—enduring the test of time, weathering every era together, and paving the way for the modern boy band phenomenon that inspired groups like New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, and the K Pop phenomenon. Beyond their own legacy, New Edition’s structure encompasses a wave of groundbreaking acts that each remain legends of contemporary music to this day. Their iconic career gave rise to:
- Bobby Brown, known as the “Bad Boy of R&B,” achieved superstardom with hits like “My Prerogative” and “Every Little Step,” both of which were chart-toppers that contributed to the diamond status success of his Don’t Be Cruel album, which sold over 12 million copies worldwide.
- Ralph Tresvant, whose solo debut delivered the #1 hit “Sensitivity” and showcased his signature smooth vocals.
- Bell Biv DeVoe (BBD)—the trailblazing trio of Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe—whose fusion of R&B and hip-hop produced the classic “Poison,” a #3 Billboard Hot 100 hit and defining anthem of the Hip-Hop smooth out era.
- Johnny Gill, who joined New Edition after already establishing himself as a powerhouse solo artist. His chart-topper hits include “My, My, My” and “Rub You the Right Way.”
Collectively, the members of New Edition have amassed multiple #1 singles, American Music, and Soul Train Awards, and over 50 million albums sold—solidifying their position as one of the most influential groups in music history.
The tour also marks the first time that New Edition and Boyz II Men, two groups forever linked through Michael Bivins’ discovery of Boyz II Men, will share the stage.
With four Grammy Awards and timeless hits like “End of the Road,” “I’ll Make Love to You,” and “One Sweet Day” (their record-breaking collaboration with Mariah Carey), Boyz II Men redefined vocal harmony for the world. Their emotional performances continue to transcend generations and genres.
Seven-time Grammy Award-winning icon Toni Braxton adds another layer of excellence to the lineup. With her sultry tone and hits such as “Un-Break My Heart,” “Breathe Again,” and “You’re Makin’ Me High,” Braxton remains one of the most distinctive and successful artists in contemporary R&B, selling over 70 million records worldwide.
Together, these artists have sold nearly 200 million albums, earned dozens of major music awards, and built legacies that continue to shape pop and R&B culture across the globe.
“You’re seeing artists who’ve shaped the culture come together to celebrate music that continues to stand the test of time,” says Gary Guidry, CEO of the Black Promoters Collective.
“This tour represents the spirit of collaboration, excellence, and respect for pristine artistry,” adds Shelby Joyner, President of BPC.
