Music fans are in for a treat as four iconic artists, Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight and Stephanie Mills, join forces for a historic tour titled “The Queens! 4 Legends. 1 Stage.” 

The tour makes a stop in downtown Indianapolis on June 1. 

Tickets for the event will go on sale at 10 a.m. on March 21. 

Produced by the Black Promoters Collective (BPC), the tour brings together four Grammy-winning and nominated artists who have shaped the sound of R&B, soul, gospel and pop over the decades.  

Each artist has expressed excitement about sharing the stage with their peers. 

“Sharing the stage with my amazing sisters is an absolute honor,” Chaka Khan said. “Music is about connection, and this will be a celebration of the joy, power and love that it brings to us all.” 

Patti LaBelle echoed the sentiment, stating, “I am so excited to join these icons, who I call sisters, on this tour! It’s going to be something special. And I can’t wait to see everyone there.” 

Gladys Knight, who will kick off the tour in her hometown of Las Vegas, added, “We will come together in support of one another and in harmony at a time when love is most needed.”  

Stephanie Mills also shared her enthusiasm, saying, “Our different styles unite in love, compassion, and understanding. Performing with Chaka, Patti, and Gladys for you will be electrifying.” 

The concert will feature a lineup of chart-topping classics, including Chaka Khan’s “Ain’t Nobody” and “I’m Every Woman,” Patti LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade” and “New Attitude,” Gladys Knight’s “Midnight Train to Georgia” and Stephanie Mills’ “Never Knew Love Like This Before” and “Home.” 

Black Promoters Collective CEO Gary Guidry emphasized the significance of the event.  

“To have these four legendary women together on one stage is historic,” Guidry said. “Each of them has left an indelible mark on the industry, and this tour is a celebration of their artistry, resilience and legacy.” 

The BPC, founded in 2022, has quickly become a major player in live entertainment. Ranked #39 on Pollstar’s Global Top 100 Promoters list and #3 among urban promoters, BPC is dedicated to delivering culturally relevant and world-class experiences. 

This tour is a rare opportunity to witness four music legends in one unforgettable night. Fans are encouraged to secure their tickets early for what promises to be a sold-out event.
