October London and Tamar Braxton have some things in common. They’re both contemporary R&B singers known for their vocal ability, they have a few GRAMMY nominations between them and they each have a son. The talented pair will soon add tourmates to the list with their announcement of a joint tour featuring special guests Ro James and DJ DMG.
The artists are headed out on The October Nights: Calling All Lovers Tour named after London’s 2024 release October Nights and Braxton’s 2015 album Calling All Lovers. The Black Promoters Collective is producing this co-headlining tour, which will travel coast-to-coast across the United States in April and May.
The first stop on The October Nights: Calling All Lovers Tour will be in Norfolk on April 17th. From there it will move on to D.C., Baltimore, Nashville, Chicago, New Orleans, Dallas, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Cleveland, New York and Los Angeles, to name a handful of the 24 cities on the itinerary. The tour will land in Oakland on May 31st for the final show.
R&B heads are gonna want to pull up on October, Tamar and Ro this spring to experience their artistry live on stage. After touring with J. Brown and The Shindellas, touring with Maxwell and hitting the festival circuit hard last year, London will be in his element performing songs from his latest set and his breakout hit album The Rebirth Of Marvin. The youngest Braxton sister, meanwhile, will get the 10th-anniversary celebrations for Calling All Lovers started on this tour. James has the opening act slot and is sure to deliver selections from his catalog from “Permission” to his new single “Platonic.” Tying it all together will be DJ DMG hailing from Houston and entertaining the audience on the turntables between artists.
The October Nights: Calling All Lovers Tour is shaping up to be a good time for fans of these singers and R&B music in general. If you fall into either category, be sure to lock in your tickets, which go on sale to the general public for most show dates on Friday, January 31st at 10 a.m. local time.
