80s pop stars are bringing their ‘Legacy Tour’ to Columbia
New Edition, which burst onto the pop music scene in the 1980s, will bring their “Legacy Tour” to Columbia, promoters said Tuesday.
The concert is scheduled for March 9, 2023 at Colonial Life Arena, venue officials said in a news release. News of the concert was released a day after Janet Jackson announced she and Ludacris will also perform at the Columbia arena next spring.
New Edition — comprised of Ronnie DeVoe, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ralph Tresvant, and Johnny Gill — will be joined on the tour by other 80s and 90s R&B stars to make the event “a New Jack Swing reunion,” according to the release. Keith Sweat as well as Guy (Teddy Riley, Aaron Hall, and Damion Hall) and Tank are also scheduled to take the stage.
Tickets will go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. on Friday, but a presale will begin Wednesday at 10 a.m. at ticketmaster.com. Any tickets that are still available can be purchased the next business day online or at the Colonial Life Arena box office.
Tickets prices range from $59.50 to $179.50, according to the release.
“Few recording artists can attest to a superior 40-year career that stands the test of time, but New Edition can,” promoter Gary Guidry said in the release. “We are excited about partnering with New Edition to further the legacy of the foundation they have already laid.”
