JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Legendary R&B groups Xscape and SWV will be coming to Jacksonville in July after their 'The Queens of R&B Tour' was announced on Tuesday, according to a news release, as general tickets are now on sale Friday.
The announcement of the tour comes after a teaser on social media ignited "fervent excitement" from fans, the release states. Mýa, Total and 702 will also join the groups on the tour, according to the release.
SWV (Sisters With Voices) has been nominated three times before for a Grammy, and are known for their songs "Weak" and "Rain," while Xscape is known for tracks like "Who Can I Run To" and "Understanding."
