Grammy Award-winning artists Brandy and Monica are teaming up for a co-headlined tour this fall, and there’s a stop in Indianapolis.
Produced by Black Promoters Collective, Brandy and Monica announced The Boy is Mine tour on June 24. Kicking off this fall, the tour is set to include 24-city arena stops, including Indianapolis on Oct. 19 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tickets for The Boy is Mine Tour go on sale at 10 a.m. on June 27.
“This really is a full-circle moment. Monica and I coming together again isn’t just about the music— it’s about honoring where we came from and how far we’ve both come,” Brandy said in a statement. “‘The Boy Is Mine’ was a defining chapter in R&B, and to share the stage all these years later is bigger than a reunion — it’s a celebration of growth, sisterhood and the love our fans have given us from day one.”
The Boy is Mine Tour pays homage to a historic moment more than 25 years in the making, according to a press release. Brandy and Monica’s 1998 duet “The Boy is Mine” became a cultural phenomenon of late ‘90s R&B, spending 13 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 1000.

In 2024, Brandy and Monica sparked renewed interest in “The Boy is Mine” by appearing in Ariana Grande’s “the boy is mine” music video and later lending their voices to the official remix, which eventually went on to receive a Grammy nomination in a “full-circle moment,” according to a press release.
“The love that ‘The Boy Is Mine’ continues to receive means everything to me,” Monica said in a statement. “This tour is a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us. Brandy and I have been on our own unique journeys, and coming back together in this way is a reminder of the power of respect, strength, and real music. We’re giving the people what they’ve been asking for, and doing it with grace, love, and purpose. God’s timing perfectly aligned us.”
The Boy is Mine Tour marries two of the “most influential voices in R&B,” as Brandy and Monica tour together for the first time. The blended catalog of hits featured in the show spans decades of “era-defining” music that has shaped the genre as they continue “ushering in a bold new era of R&B,” according to a press release.
“Bringing Brandy and Monica together for this tour is more than just a moment — it’s a cultural homecoming,” Shelby Joyner, president of Black Promoters Collective, said in a statement. “Their impact on R&B is immeasurable, and ‘The Boy Is Mine’ continues to be one of the most iconic collaborations of all time. At BPC, we’re committed to celebrating culture and legacy, and this tour is a powerful example of both.”
Grammy Award-winning artist Kelly Rowland and Muni Long also join Brandy and Monica on The Boy is Mine Tour alongside 2025 American Idol season 23 winner Jamal Roberts. Fans are invited to celebrate a “powerful, soul-stirring and high energy night of music and vocal brilliance,” accompanied by a live band and collaborative performances onstage, according to a press release.
