About

RnB Summer Ball marks the first event of its kind for the summer season, following the huge success of three consecutive sold-out editions of the annual RnB Xmas Ball at The O2. Previous line-ups have seen a slew of RnB icons grace the stage and had the whole arena singing, including Monica, Toni Braxton, Boyz II Men, Joe, SWV, Dru Hill (Sisqó, Nokio and Jazz), Keith Sweat and TGT (Tyrese, Tank, Ginuwine).

Leading the pack of RnB legends this summer is the award-winning, multi-platinum quartet JODECI, who will grace the British stage for the first time in over 12 years with a full live band. Joining them are global supergroup TLC, one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, and New Jack Swing pioneers Blackstreet, whose era-defining anthems shaped 90s RnB worldwide.

Award-winning, multi-platinum RnB quartet JODECI – DeVanté Swing, Mr. Dalvin, K-Ci and JoJo – changed the sound of RnB in the 1990s with their raw fusion of gospel-rooted vocals and hip-hop edge. Their debut album Forever My Lady (1991) delivered three No.1 hits: ‘Forever My Lady’, ‘Stay’ and ‘Come And Talk To Me’. The group’s critical and commercial success continued with Diary of a Mad Band (1993), featuring ‘Cry for You’ and ‘Feenin’ and The Show, the After Party, the Hotel (1995), home to classics including ‘Freek’n You’, ‘Love U 4 Life’ and ‘Get On Up’. Following their hugely successful ‘The Show, The Afterparty’ Las Vegas residency, Jodeci are in incredible form and ready to bring their unmistakable sound and energy back to London.

With over 85 million records sold worldwide, TLC are one of the most influential and best-selling female groups in music history. Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas continue to carry the group’s legacy, delivering the timeless catalogue that defined a generation. From the multi-platinum albums CrazySexyCool and FanMail came era-defining hits including ‘No Scrubs’, ‘Waterfalls’, ‘Creep’, ‘Unpretty’ and ‘Red Light Special’. Renowned for their empowering messages, boundary-pushing visuals and unforgettable live performances, TLC’s impact on RnB and pop culture remains unparalleled. This summer, fans can expect a hit-packed set celebrating three decades of trailblazing music.

Formed by Teddy Riley, the architect of New Jack Swing, Blackstreet became one of the most distinctive RnB groups of the 1990s. Their self-titled debut introduced audiences to their smooth harmonies and slick production, but it was the multi-platinum album Another Level (1996) that cemented their legacy, featuring the Grammy-winning global smash ‘No Diggity’ alongside hits ‘Don’t Leave Me’ and ‘Before I Let You Go’. Blending hip-hop beats with classic RnB soul, Blackstreet’s sound helped define an era and continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. Their Summer Ball performance promises pure nostalgia and undeniable grooves.
