]]> On October 5, 2024, the Stockbridge Amphitheater in Georgia played host to a spectacular evening featuring three powerhouse R&B vocalists: Monica, Sevyn Streeter, and Tamar Braxton. The concert, part of the “Salute to the Ladies of the Divine 9,” celebrated the contributions of historically Black sororities, including Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta, and Sigma Gamma Rho. Hosted by the Niecy Shaw, the night blended music with a tribute to sisterhood and empowerment.

Sevyn Streeter kicked off the event with a dynamic performance of hits like “It Won’t Stop,” energizing the crowd and setting the tone for the evening. Her versatile stage presence and collaboration highlights such as her work with Chris Brown, kept the audience on their feet.

Tamar Braxton followed, captivating the crowd with her emotional renditions of songs like “Love and War” and “All the Way Home.” In a special moment, she even brought her sister, Toni Braxton, on stage, making the night even more memorable.

Monica headlined the show, delivering a stellar performance of her classic hits such as “Angel of Mine,” “The Boy Is Mine,” and “So Gone.” Monica, one of the most beloved voices in R&B, has always captivated audiences with her soulful vocals and emotional delivery.  Her soulful voice and connection with the audience highlighted why she remains a beloved figure in R&B after two decades.

The concert not only celebrated musical talent but also honored the legacy of Black Greek-letter organizations and HBCUs.

One of the most beloved groups in R&B history, XSCAPE, have announced their first-ever headlining tour, THE GREAT XSCAPE TOUR.
“THE GREAT XSCAPE TOUR” PLATINUM SELLING R&B QUARTET XSCAPE ANNOUNCE NATIONWIDE TOUR
“THE GREAT XSCAPE TOUR” PLATINUM SELLING R&B QUARTET XSCAPE ANNOUNCE NATIONWIDE TOUR

Answering the overwhelming demand of fans nationwide, XSCAPE—Kandi Burruss-Tucker, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, and sisters LaTocha and Tamika Scott—return to the stage to perform all of their memorable hits. Adding to the excitement, the group will be joined on tour by special guests, Monica and Tamar Braxton. THE GREAT XSCAPE TOUR kicks off on November 22nd at the Richmond Coliseum in Richmond, VA, hits major markets across North America, and concludes in Los Angeles at the Microsoft Theater on January 6th, 2018. Tickets go on sale this Friday September 22nd in most markets. Check your local listings or go to greatxscapetour.com for more information.

An escape into the world of a legendary, award-winning, multiplatinum R&B powerhouse, THE GREAT XSCAPE TOUR promises to be the ultimate night out. The set will draw from their three consecutive platinum albums—namely, Hummin‘ Comin‘ At ‘Cha, Off the Hook, and Traces of My Lipstick—as it showcases their six top singles, including “Just Kickin‘ It”, “Understanding”, “Who Can I Run To,” and more. The audience begged for this, and XSCAPE are delivering like only they can.

About THE GREAT XSCAPE TOUR, the group comments, “You asked for it! We had so much fun with y’all this summer that we decided to bring the party to cities across the U.S. We decided to do something very special and have our good friends Monica and Tamar Braxton join us! We are beyond excited to have them out with us for the ultimate girls night out show! This is the tour we’ve always wanted to do and we can’t wait to see you there!”

It has been a scorching hot summer for the group; XSCAPE made their triumphant return on the BET Awards performing a trio of their biggest hits. Rolling Stone highlighting it as one of the “Best moments” of the night, calling their performance “magic” and a “show of their unfaltering, still awe-inspiring vocal ranges.” Following this landmark performance, XSCAPE performed two sold-out shows in Detroit, and shut down an entire floor at the Super Dome in New Orleans, as fans stormed the stage not to miss their Essence Festival set. Vibe proclaimed, “They haven’t lost an ounce of their magic.”

XSCAPE is managed by Monami Entertainment and joined forces with media and entertainment veteran, Mona Scott-Young and (her) Monami Productions, to produce their official docu-series “Xscape: Still Kickin It” which is coming soon to BRAVO.
