Brandy and Monica will reunite for The Boy Is Mine Tour this fall, performing in New York City and New Jersey.
Brandy Norwood and Monica Arnold, two prominent figures of the 1990s R&B scene, have announced their first-ever co-headlining tour, marking a significant moment in their illustrious careers over 25 years since their iconic duet, “The Boy Is Mine,” topped the charts. The announcement was made on CBS Mornings, where the Grammy Award-winning artists shared details about what fans can expect from this exciting tour, named “The Boy Is Mine Tour.”
Set to kick off on October 16 in Cincinnati, Ohio, the tour will span a total of 24 cities across the United States. Each performance is highly anticipated, featuring special guest appearances from artists including Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, and Jamal Roberts, the winner of the 2025 season of American Idol.
The tour will make three notable stops in the tristate area: at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on November 20, Newark’s Prudential Center on November 21, and Atlantic City’s Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall on November 22. This reunion presents a unique opportunity for fans to experience the powerful chemistry between the two artists that has captivated audiences for decades.
Tickets for the tour will go on sale starting Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster, with presale options available a day earlier, allowing dedicated fans to secure their spots early. Shelby Joyner, president of the Black Promoters Collective, highlighted the cultural significance of this tour, noting that it serves as a moment of reunion for fans and artists alike, given the immense impact both singers have had on the R&B genre.
“The Boy Is Mine,” released in 1998, set a record by remaining at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 13 consecutive weeks. The song remains a defining track in the history of R&B music, and the singers were recently nominated for a Grammy for their collaboration on a remix of this classic track, which has been reintroduced to a new generation through contemporary artists like Ariana Grande.
As both artists reflect on their journeys, Brandy noted that this tour is more than merely a retrospective of their collaboration; it represents growth, respect, and the enduring connection they share with their fans. Monica echoed her sentiments, emphasizing the ongoing relevance of “The Boy Is Mine” and the significance of their reunion in celebrating their respective stories and the strength of their shared legacy.
