If you grew up on “No Scrubs,” “Push It” and “Free Your Mind,” this summer just got a major upgrade. TLC, Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue are officially joining forces for the first time ever, and fans are already calling it the tour of the season.
The three iconic groups announced their “It’s Iconic” North American tour, kicking off Aug. 15, and the energy online has been nonstop. Live Nation teased the moment with a promo video featuring members from all three groups together, captioning it, “It’s ICONIC! TLC & Salt-N-Pepa with En Vogue unite for the tour of the Summer!💥 Decades of anthems, sisterhood energy, and a few surprises along the way 😉✨.”
Fans wasted no time flooding the comments. “SO exciting for this!! ICONS! 🔥,” one wrote, while another added, “OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED! LET’S GO LADIESSSSS!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.”
Others kept it just as real, with one fan saying, “This is going to be freaking phenomenal omg🔥🔥🔥🔥 literally the best girl groups of my time,” and another posting, “OMGGG!!! I’m losing it!!!” Even fellow ‘90s group SWV showed love in the comments, with fans quickly chiming in asking for them to be added to the lineup.
A Tour Packed With Hits and Nostalgia
The “It’s Iconic” tour marks the first time these three powerhouse groups will share the stage together, celebrating decades of music that helped define hip-hop and R&B. According to Live Nation, fans can expect a full set of classics, from TLC’s “Waterfalls” and “No Scrubs” to Salt-N-Pepa’s “Shoop” and “Push It,” along with En Vogue’s “Don’t Let Go (Love)” and “Free Your Mind.”
In a sit-down interview with Live Nation, Salt-N-Pepa’s Sandra “Pepa” Denton teased just how big the experience will be, saying it will feel “overwhelming almost,” adding, “All the music that’s going to be played? It’s like, ‘Oh my God! Oh my God! OH MY GOD!’” Cheryl “Salt” James also shared her excitement, saying, “This show is going to be crazy… I feel like this is going to be the most fun touring experience I’ve ever had.”
The tour will travel across major cities including Chicago, Toronto, Atlanta and Las Vegas before wrapping in October, with tickets going on sale March 26.
Three Iconic Groups, One Major Moment
Each group brings its own legacy to the stage. TLC, made up of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, remains the best-selling American girl group of all time, with decades of hits and cultural influence while continuing to honor their late member Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes.
Salt-N-Pepa helped reshape hip-hop as one of the first all-female rap groups to reach mainstream success, breaking barriers in a male-dominated space and earning major recognition, including a Grammy and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, per People.
En Vogue also played a major role in shaping modern R&B, becoming known for their powerful harmonies and timeless songs that continue to resonate with fans today.
Together, the three groups are leaning into the energy of unity and celebration. En Vogue’s Terry Ellis described the moment as “a cultural olympian,” while Salt-N-Pepa and TLC echoed the sentiment, with James adding, “We’re all legends!”
As anticipation builds, one thing is clear about what fans can expect when these icons hit the stage: “This show is going to be crazy.”
