The co-headlining tour from TLC and Salt-N-Pepa, with En Vogue as special guest, is nearing the end of its run. The 34-date North American trek is promoted by Live Nation and is scheduled to close October 11 at Toyota Pavilion at Concord in the Bay Area. The tour marks the first time the three groups have toured together.

The next stretch begins in the Carolinas and Florida, with a stop in Charlotte on September 20 followed by Tampa on September 23 and Hollywood, Florida, on September 24. The tour then turns west through the South and Midwest, playing Brandon, Mississippi, on September 27, Rogers, Arkansas, on September 29 and Kansas City on September 30.

October opens in Atlanta on the 2nd. Two Texas dates follow, in The Woodlands on October 4 and Irving on October 5. The final week covers Phoenix on October 7, Las Vegas on October 9, Inglewood on October 10 and the Concord finale on October 11.

The tour has had disruptions. TLC‘s T-Boz has missed several dates. A spokesperson said she experienced a sickle cell crisis that required hospitalization and is recovering, and that the group chose to continue with Chilli performing. Whether T-Boz will rejoin for upcoming dates has not been confirmed.

Fans planning to attend should confirm show details and ticket availability directly with Live Nation or the individual venue, as schedules can change.
