(NEWARK, NJ) -- The Prudential Center presents The New Edition Way Tour on Friday, February 13, 2026 at 8:00pm. The New Edition Way Tour brings together three of music's most enduring and influential acts: New Edition, Boyz II Men, and Toni Braxton. This landmark event celebrates music, legacy, and connection, giving fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience these legendary artists performing together on a dynamic 360° stage in an up-close and immersive concert experience.
The tour’s name honors New Edition’s historic recognition in their hometown of Boston, where a street was renamed New Edition Way to celebrate their profound cultural and musical impact.

For the first time, New Edition shares the stage with Boyz II Men, the Grammy-winning vocal group discovered by Michael Bivins, known for timeless hits like End of the Road, I’ll Make Love to You, and One Sweet Day. Adding to the lineup, seven-time Grammy Award-winning icon Toni Braxton delivers her sultry hits, including Un-Break My Heart and Breathe Again, contributing to over 70 million records sold worldwide.
Together, these artists have sold over 100 million albums, earned dozens of major music awards, and continue to shape the sound and culture of pop and R&B for generations to come.
Tickets start at $111 and are available for purchase online. Prudential Center is located at 25 Lafayette Street in Newark, New Jersey.
The New Edition Way Tour is presented by The Black Promoters Collective (BPC).
Supergroup New Edition is one of the most influential R&B groups of all time, redefining pop and soul with their signature harmonies, choreography, and timeless hits. Formed in Boston, the group— Ronnie DeVoe, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ralph Tresvant, and Johnny Gill—has sold over 50 million albums worldwide, including solo projects, and delivered chart-topping classics like “Candy Girl,” “Cool It Now,” “Mr. Telephone Man,” “If It Isn’t Love,” “Can You Stand the Rain,” and “Hit Me Off.” The group scored multiple No. 1 singles on the R&B charts and Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Over their storied career, New Edition has won American Music Awards, multiple Soul Train Awards—including the Soul Train Lifetime Achievement Award, a BET Lifetime Achievement Award, and induction into both the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame and the National R&B Hall of Fame. Their star continues to shine with a Hollywood Walk of Fame star, an award-winning Las Vegas residency, and induction into the NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame. Their enduring legacy was further immortalized in BET’s record-breaking The New Edition Story, a celebrated biopic honoring their four-decade journey of brotherhood and musical excellence.
Boyz II Men redefined R&B with timeless harmonies and classic ballads that continue to captivate audiences across generations. They are the best-selling R&B group of all time, with over 64 million albums sold worldwide and global hits that include “End of the Road,” “I’ll Make Love to You,” “One Sweet Day,” and “Motownphilly.” The trio's long list of accolades includes four Grammy Awards, nine American Music Awards, nine Soul Train Awards, three Billboard Music Awards, and a MOBO Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, in addition to a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and a Casino Entertainment Award for their acclaimed Las Vegas residency at The Mirage. Most recently, Boyz II Men appeared in ABC’s A Very Boy Band Holiday, recreated the viral Chili’s jingle, and performed the national anthem for both the NFL and F1. The trio continues to tour globally while actively developing a biopic and documentary.
As one of the best-selling female artists of all time, Toni Braxton has logged an estimable number of career-defining moments. Her 1993 breakthrough, the self-titled debut album, is now eight times platinum. The project also garnered the singer the first three of her seven Grammy Awards, and she went on to reach the top of the Billboard Charts with two #1 and six Top 10 hits. The icon just completed a highly lauded Las Vegas residency with Cedric The Entertainer, Love & Laughter, and recently returned to TV with the 2nd season of “The Braxtons.” Additionally, the multihyphenate talent has left her imprint on other notable ventures, including an all-encompassing production deal with the Lifetime and A+E network, where she will star and executive produce the forthcoming feature, He Wasn’t Man Enough, inspired by her 2000 hit song of the same name.
“You’re seeing artists who’ve shaped the culture come together to celebrate music that continues to stand the test of time,” says Gary Guidry, CEO of the Black Promoters Collective.
“This tour represents the spirit of collaboration, excellence, and respect for pristine artistry,” adds Shelby Joyner, President of BPC
