Three era-defining acts will join forces for tour

Some of the biggest names from the golden era of ’90s R&B and hip-hop are heading back Down Under, with Boyz II Men announcing a major Australian and New Zealand tour alongside special guests Salt-N-Pepa and Bell Biv DeVoe.

The blockbuster lineup will arrive in November and December 2026, bringing together three acts responsible for some of the most memorable songs of a generation. Shows will take place in Perth, Geelong, Auckland, Sydney, Hunter Valley and Mount Cotton.

For fans who wore out their CDs, recorded their favourite songs from the radio or danced through the ’90s, the tour promises a night packed with nostalgia – from soaring ballads to dancefloor favourites.

Boyz II Men remain one of the most successful R&B groups of all time, selling more than 64 million albums worldwide and collecting four Grammy Awards across a remarkable career.

Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman became famous for their unmistakable harmonies and a string of global hits including End of the Road, I’ll Make Love To You, On Bended Knee, Motownphilly and their Mariah Carey collaboration One Sweet Day.

They’ll be joined by hip-hop trailblazers Salt-N-Pepa, whose hits including Push It, Shoop, Whatta Man and Let’s Talk About Sex helped change the face of music.

Known as “The First Ladies of Rap”, Cheryl “Salt” James, Sandra “Pepa” Denton and DJ Spinderella became the first female rap act to win a Grammy Award and were later recognised with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Rounding out the lineup is Bell Biv DeVoe, who will perform in Australia for the first time. Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe helped pioneer the new jack swing sound of the ’90s, blending R&B, hip-hop and pop with hits including Poison and Do Me!.

Together, the three acts have achieved more than four billion streams and sold more than 100 million albums worldwide.

Promoters say fans can expect “a night of wall-to-wall classic hits” celebrating the songs that shaped a generation.
