Brandy and Monica add Florida dates to The Boy Is Mine Tour
Brandy & Monica Add Florida Dates to Reunion Tour
Brandy and Monica are giving fans even more to look forward to this fall. Their long-awaited The Boy Is Mine Tour is already one of the most talked-about R&B events of the year, and now, it’s getting even bigger. On Monday, the Grammy-winning singers officially announced three additional dates in Florida, including a special finale show in Jacksonville.
For those who’ve followed their journeys since the ’90s, this tour marks more than just live performances — it’s a full-circle cultural moment. Here’s everything you need to know.
The Boy Is Mine Tour: A Timeline of R&B Nostalgia
Originally announced in early 2024, The Boy Is Mine Tour brings Brandy and Monica back together more than two decades after their smash hit collaboration, “The Boy Is Mine,” topped the charts and defined an era. Set to begin on October 18 in Cincinnati, the tour has sparked massive interest from longtime fans of 1990s and early 2000s R&B. Moreover, Muni Long, Kelly Rowland and Jamal Roberts will also be special guest performers on the tour.
The chemistry between the two artists—who famously had public tensions in the past—has now evolved into mutual respect and renewed creative energy. Fans are eager to witness that dynamic in person, city after city.
New Florida Tour Dates Revealed
In response to overwhelming demand, three new dates have officially been added to the schedule. All of them will take place in Florida, giving Sunshine State fans a final chance to catch the R&B icons live.
Here are the newly announced Florida tour stops:
- Tampa – December 12
- Miami – December 13
- Jacksonville – December 14 (Tour Finale)
With Jacksonville serving as the final stop, the Florida leg is now the grand finale for the entire tour.
Why This Reunion Tour Matters
This isn’t just another tour—it’s a historic R&B reunion that brings two of the most influential voices in modern music back to the spotlight. Brandy and Monica have each had successful solo careers, but together, their cultural impact hits a different level.
Their 1998 duet “The Boy Is Mine” is still one of the best-selling female collaborations of all time. It spent 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned the duo a Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
The song’s blend of storytelling, tension, and vocal excellence resonated with fans then—and still does today. That nostalgia is driving ticket sales, but the live show also promises to offer more than just old hits.
What to Expect from the Live Experience
While the full setlist hasn’t been revealed yet, fans can expect a mix of solo classics and potential live renditions of their joint catalog.
Some possible Brandy favorites:
- “Almost Doesn’t Count”
- “Full Moon”
- “Have You Ever?”
- “I Wanna Be Down”
And Monica may bring her signature hits:
- “Angel of Mine”
- “So Gone”
- “Before You Walk Out of My Life”
- “Don’t Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)”
Of course, the show wouldn’t be complete without the main event—“The Boy Is Mine” performed live together.
The Evolution of Brandy and Monica
Part of what makes this tour so meaningful is the journey both women have taken—separately and together.
Brandy, known for her versatile voice and acting career (including starring in Moesha), has consistently been a trailblazer in R&B and pop. Her influence spans vocal technique, visual aesthetics, and genre fusion.
Monica, on the other hand, carved out her lane as one of the most consistent voices in traditional R&B. Her catalog is rich with ballads and street-smart anthems, often leaning into gospel influences and raw emotion.
Their public reconciliation in recent years has been welcomed by fans. They even reunited on Verzuz in 2020, a livestream that drew millions and helped pave the way for this new tour.
R&B’s Resurgence and the Power of Legacy Acts
The Boy Is Mine Tour arrives at a time when R&B is enjoying a renaissance. From younger artists like SZA, H.E.R., and Summer Walker to legends like Usher and Alicia Keys, the genre is once again front and center.
Brandy and Monica are part of that wave, but they also represent the foundation on which today’s R&B is built. Their decision to tour together now taps into more than just nostalgia—it celebrates endurance, talent, and womanhood in the music industry.
