This is not a drill — Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle and Stephanie Mills are going on tour!
On March 18, the four iconic powerhouse vocalists announced they’re teaming up to embark on The Queens Tour of North American arenas in spring 2025.
Khan, 71, shared the dates on Instagram and wrote in the caption, “I’m beyond excited to hit the road with three incredible women — Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle and Stephanie Mills — for a tour that will be nothing short of legendary!”

“The Queens are bringing the music and the magic to a city near you,” said the “I’m Every Woman” artist, later adding: “This is a celebration you won’t want to miss — who’s coming?”
Kicking off May 9 at the Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, the tour will make stops in cities including Los Angeles, Nashville, Baltimore, New York City, Chicago, Cincinnati and more before wrapping June 1 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Tickets first become available through a presale on March 20 at 10 a.m. local time using the code “BPC,” while the general on-sale launches March 21 at 10 a.m. ET.

According to the Black Promoters Collective, which is presenting the tour, a second leg of North American shows will follow in September and October.
The Queens Tour is sure to be a massive celebration of the four ladies’ hits — because they have many, from Knight’s “Midnight Train to Georgia” and Khan’s “I Feel for You” to LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade” and Mills’ “Never Knew Love Like This Before.”
Together, Knight, Khan, LaBelle and Mills have a combined total of 18 Grammy Awards.
