Nineties R&B legends announced for huge UK gig – here’s how fans can get tickets

Fans of 90s RnB are in for an unforgettable night as some of the biggest names in the genre are set to hit the stage for the RNB Xmas Ball on December 22nd.

There has been an update to the heavyweight line-up and for one night only TGT, Keith Sweat and legendary girl group SWV will hit the stage at London’s O2 Arena for some incredible performances.

Six time platinum singer Keith Sweat will be bringing his Sweat Shop show to the Xmas Ball for the first time.

The music star is known for his collection of chart-topping hits which include Make You Sweat, Twisted and Nobody.

The New York born singer has released 13 studio albums to date and is widely regarded as pioneers of the New Jack Swing movement – which blended RnB with hip-hop rhythms.

Speaking about the gig, Keith said: “I cannot wait to come see and perform for my British fans this Christmas, the Sweat Shop show is gonna bring the heat this winter so get ready for that!”

Due to huge public demand SWV will also be joining as co-headliners for the return of their second consecutive RnB Xmas Ball.

SWV - also known as Sisters With Voices - are one of the most successful female RnB groups of all time boasting a string of hits including Weak, Right Here and I’m So Into You.

Formed in 1988 the group consist of Cheryl ‘Coko’ Gamble, Tamara ‘Taj’ Johnson, and Leanne ‘Lelee’ Lyons and have sold over 25 million records globally.

Speaking on their return, SWV said: “All of us are so excited to come back to London for the second year running at the RnB Xmas Ball, it is gonna be beautiful y’all!”

Another headliner fans can look forward to will be supergroup TGT made up of Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank who will reunite on stage for the first time in years.

The trio are known for their sultry harmonies, hit tracks Sex Never Felt Better and I Need and album Three Kings.

The three solo powerhouses formed the group in 2007 and created siginifcant buzz in the music industry with their debut album hitting No.3 on the Billboard 200 chart.

TGT were a part of the original lineup for the Xmas Ball alongside RnB heavyweight Jodeci however due to unforeseen circumstances the group are now unable to provide the level of performance their fans deserve and will no longer perform at the event.

In a message to fans, Jodeci said: “We are so sad to not be able to make it to the UK to perform at the RnB Xmas Ball this season for our beloved British fans, we want to share our regret, but we will be back!”

Other acts apart of the orginal line up that remain unchanged are Pretty Ricky, Case and Horace Brown.

This year’s show follows the huge success of the first Xmas RnB Ball last year, which saw RnB legend headliners Joe, Monica and SWV perform to a sold out OVO Wembley Arena.

With old skool 90s RnB continuing its ascendence, this year’s show promises to be an absolute showstopper, bringing the heat to legions of London fans this Christmas.
