Brandy and Monica have announced their first-ever co-headlining “The Boy Is Mine” tour featuring special guests Kelly Rowland, Muni Long and “American Idol” winner Jamal Roberts.
The R&B titans will hit the road for a 24-city arena tour kicking off in Cincinnati on Oct. 16. Stops on the tour include Atlanta, Los Angeles and Brooklyn, before heading down to Houston for the final show on Dec. 7.
“The Boy Is Mine” tour is, of course, named after their iconic 1998 hit that spent a record-breaking 13 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Though they’ve had tension over the years, they’ve collaborated several times since then, including on 2012’s “It All Belongs to Me” and last year for Ariana Grande’s “The Boy Is Mine (Remix),” which earned them a Grammy nomination for best pop duo/group performance.
“This really is a full-circle moment,” says Brandy in a statement. “Monica and I coming together again isn’t just about the music—it’s about honoring where we came from and how far we’ve both come. ‘The Boy Is Mine’ was a defining chapter in R&B, and to share the stage all these years later is bigger than a reunion—it’s a celebration of growth, sisterhood, and the love our fans have given us from day one.”
Monica adds, “The love that ‘The Boy Is Mine’ continues to receive means everything to me. This tour is a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us. Brandy and I have been on our own unique journeys, and coming back together in this way is a reminder of the power of respect, strength, and real music. We’re giving the people what they’ve been asking for, and doing it with grace, love, and purpose. God’s timing perfectly aligned us.”
Presale for “The Boy Is Mine” tour starts on June 26 from 10 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. local time. General tickets go on sale June 27 at 10 a.m. local time.
