This summer, the sound of classic R&B will echo through the streets as Tank, the four-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated titan of the genre, is set to take the stage with the "The R&B Money Tour." Joining him on this soulful journey are none other than Keri Hilson and Carl Thomas, two venerated voices that promise to turn every concert into a night to remember. Fans in Music City will get their chance to bask in the trio's crooning melodies at Marathon Music Works on June 8, in what's expected to be a powerhouse performance of R&B hits.

A notch above your typical concert, attendees can bank on an evening jam-packed with "classic bangers" courtesy of the three seasoned artists heralded for their unique and dynamic sound, as reported by WKRN. But before breaking out the nostalgia in Nashville, the trek will kick off in New Orleans on May 10 and hit other major cities, including New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. It's shaping up to be an extensive chase for R&B fans across a 25-city itinerary, as noted by Billboard, which promises memories that will last a lifetime.

While some might think R&B has taken a backseat in today's pop-dominated charts, Tank and his entourage are here to prove that soul is still very much alive. "The R&B Money Tour will be a movie!" Tank excitedly proclaimed in an interview with Billboard. He's ready to celebrate with fans and create a musical journey alongside Keri Hilson, known for chart-topping hits like "Turnin Me On" and "Pretty Girl Rock." Carl Thomas, the smooth crooner behind the hit "I Wish," will add his signature flavor to the lineup, ensuring every stop is rich with vocal prowess and emotional depth.

The tour also aligns with the release of Tank's new single, "Before We Get Started" featuring Fabolous. Produced by Bizness Boi and Derelle Rideout, the track written by Dirk Pate, serves as a vibrant homage to the genre’s rich aesthetic and enduring appeal. Its companion music video, a display of lush visuals and nostalgia, was directed by the esteemed Taj & Dre – signaling Tank's unwavering dedication to keeping the spirit of R&B not just alive, but thriving.

Eager fans don't have to wait too long to stake their claim to a piece of R&B history, as tickets are up for grabs with an artist presale that commenced on March 13, as detailed by The Source. Following close behind, is a Ticketmaster presale slated for March 14. General public access flings open the doors on March 15, giving everyone a fair shot at scoring a ticket for what's shaping up to be one of the most anticipated musical rendezvous this summer.
