Legendary R&B group New Edition has added more dates to their residency at Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas.
The six new shows will take place throughout July. “We’re coming back in July, y’all! Tell your family, tell your friends…New Edition is just getting started on the Strip!” shared New Edition member Michael Bivins.
Presale tickets will be available Monday, March 11, at 10 a.m. PT. Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, March 15, at 10 a.m. PT. Ticket pricing starts at $79.95 plus applicable fees.
The first leg of New Edition’s sold-out residency kicked off Feb. 28. They have two more shows scheduled for this Friday, March 8, and Saturday, March 9.
Before New Edition launches the second leg of their residency, the iconic group will be inducted into the NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame award “is bestowed on an individual who is a pioneer in their respective field and whose influence will shape the profession for generations to come.”
“It is our distinct honor to celebrate New Edition and Frankie Beverly–two musical icons that have been instrumental in shaping our cultural landscape with their remarkable talent and enduring influence,” said NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson. “We recognize the power of their artistry in showcasing the enduring power of Black excellence in the arts.”
Connie Orlando, executive vice president of specials, music programming and music strategy at BET, added, “New Edition and Frankie Beverly’s influence has laid the foundation for modern R&B, shaping the genre’s sonic landscape and resonance in numerous ways. From the acclaimed The New Edition Story on BET to our commemoration of Frankie Beverly at the 2012 BET Awards, we are thrilled to celebrate these musical luminaries, whose melodies are intricately woven into the very fabric of our culture.”
The 55th NAACP Image Awards, hosted by Queen Latifah, will air live Saturday, March 16, at 8 p.m. ET on BET and CBS.
