FedExForum will host four female icons of R&B, pop and soul, as Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight and Stephanie Mills bring their “The Queens: 4 Legends, 1 Stage” tour to Memphis on Sept. 21.
A historic union of singing talents, The Queens kicked off the first leg of their tour in May in Las Vegas and played 10 arena shows across the country. The tour resumes this week with stops in Greensboro, North Carolina, and Atlanta before arriving in the Bluff City.
Produced by the Black Promoters Collective, The Queens event has been hailed as a “once-in-a-lifetime” teaming that “unites four Grammy-winning and nominated icons who have shaped the sound of generations.”
