About this Event
Experience the ultimate celebration of R&B — brought to life like you’ve never heard before.
Step inside some of the UK’s most breathtaking spaces for an unforgettable live experience where timeless R&B anthems meet the power, emotion and energy of a Live Orchestra.
Dance to 90s slow jams and neo-soul classics to modern R&B favourites, hear the songs that defined generations reimagined with soaring strings, bold brass, stunning vocals and cinematic arrangements performed by a 14-piece orchestra and exceptional live singers.
Expect a night full of nostalgia, feel-good energy, singing at the top of your lungs, dancing with your people and losing yourself in the music — all set beneath the breathtaking beauty and incredible acoustics of The Royal Armouries, Leeds.
Whether you grew up on Usher, Alicia Keys, TLC, Mary J. Blige, Destiny’s Child, Brandy, Ne-Yo and more — or simply love great music performed live — this is a night made for true R&B lovers who still know every word.
More than a concert, this is an immersive live experience where iconic R&B bangers become something truly unforgettable.
