All hail ‘The Queens.’
Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight and Stephanie Mills announced they’re embarking on ‘The Queens Tour’ that will send the powerhouse quartet to arenas all over North America this May and June.
Near the end of the brief run, the foursome is slated to stop in at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Saturday, May 24.
I’m beyond excited to hit the road with three incredible women for a tour that will be nothing short of legendary,” Khan, 71, shared on Instagram. “The Queens are bringing the music and the magic to a city near you.”
Each of the iconic vocalists will likely deliver their timeless hits like Khan’s “Ain’t Nobody,” LaBelle’s “On My Own,” Knight’s “Midnight Train To Georgia” and Mills’ ‘Never Knew Love Like This Before” on the brief 11-concert jaunt*.
“Y’all gotta get ready for me and my sistas!!! We’re coming in the name of LOVE and I can’t wait for you to join us,” Mills stated on Instagram.
In addition to the tour, LaBelle and Knight have a handful of solo headlining dates and separate appearances at the stacked 2025 New Orleans Jazz Festival lined up as well.
