The Concert Organisation (TCO) present RnB Summer Ball, which is heading to The O2 on Friday 19 June 2026 with a trio of unmissable RnB superstar headliners, including Jodeci, TLC and Blackstreet.

RnB Summer Ball marks the first event of its kind for the summer season, following the huge success of three consecutive sold-out editions of the annual RnB Xmas Ball at The O2. Previous line-ups have seen a slew of RnB icons grace the stage and had the whole arena singing, including Monica, Toni Braxton, Boyz II Men, Joe, SWV, Dru Hill (Sisqó, Nokio and Jazz), Keith Sweat and TGT (Tyrese, Tank, Ginuwine).

Leading the pack of RnB legends this summer is the award-winning, multi-platinum quartet JODECI, who will grace the British stage for the first time in over 12 years with a full live band.

Joining them are global supergroup TLC, one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, and New Jack Swing pioneers Blackstreet, whose era-defining anthems shaped 90s RnB worldwide.

Jodeci said: “We are so excited to return to London and that is a promise! The city has always shown us incredible love. 12 years is too long, and we’re ready to give the fans everything – the hits, the harmonies and that real Jodeci energy. RnB Summer Ball is going to be extra special.”

TLC said: “The UK has been rocking with TLC from day one. We can’t wait to hit the stage at The O2 and celebrate the music that connects us all. Get ready to sing every word!”

Blackstreet said: “RnB fans know what time it is. We’re bringing those 90s vibes, the classics and that feel-good energy. London, we’ll see you this summer!”

Chris Brown Channels TLC Moves In TikTok Dance Challenge For Latest Single

Leon@TLCArmy's avatarLeon@TLCArmy Leave a comment

One hazy summer night, Chris Brown dropped a bombshell on TikTok—his brand new single, “Holy Blindfold”. The title alone had fans buzzing, but no one expected what came next.

Instead of debuting the usual explosive backflips or rapid-fire footwork that fans had come to expect from Breezy, his challenge video opened with a smooth slide to the left…

And not just that. As the beat of “Holy Blindfold” pulsed into its first verse, Chris folded in the unmistakable “Waterfalls” ripple arm wave, gliding forward in slow motion like T-Boz herself, delivering swag with a message.

The camera panned out to reveal backup dancers dressed in ’90s-inspired denim, moving in perfect sync, fusing classic TLC choreography with Chris’s modern edge. Props to his choreographer Josh Smith.

Fans. Lost. Their. Minds.

TikTok lit up. Hashtags like #HolyBlindfoldChallenge and #DontGoChasinChrisBrown trended overnight.

Side-by-sides began popping up of TLC’s 90s performance with Chris’s slick remix choreography. T-Boz, a huge self-confessed Chris Brown fan, herself reposted the clip with the caption: “You KNOW my day is Made! Cuz U Know I Love HE…”.


But this wasn’t just a dance—it was a homage.

In a behind-the-scenes snippet, Chris was even heard singing along to “Waterfalls” while performing the choreography.

The TikTok challenge exploded worldwide, with dancers from Atlanta to Accra flipping their hoodies, mimicking the “Creep” hip swivel, and sliding into those “Waterfalls” hand waves with Chris’s lyrics layered on top. Even Gen Z—who were babies when “No Scrubs” ruled the charts—got schooled on some true ‘90s moves.

“Holy Blindfold” was released on June 13, and is sure to make a big debut on the Billboard Hot 100, but the viral challenge was the true chart-topper.

T-Boz previously collaborated with Chris Brown in 2016 on Zendaya‘s song “Something New“, which sampled TLC’s “Creep”. T-Boz also appeared in the song’s music video, which was never officially released.

In a digital age full of flash trends, Chris Brown reached into R&B history and showed the world that iconic choreography never goes out of style—it just gets remixed.

Moral of the story:
You can teach an old dance new tricks—but you better do it with love, rhythm, and a whole lotta TLC. 💫

T-Boz Moves to Tennessee and Plans To Work On Country Pop Songwriting and Movie Scripts Plus TLC Musical Update

Leon@TLCArmy's avatarLeon@TLCArmy Leave a comment

The ‘T’ of TLC superstar Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins recently sat down for a chat with xoNecole‘s London Alexaundria in January along with Tionne’s daughter Chase Rolison, to shed light on how they wanted to support the tragic wildfires in LA.

Chase recently launched her own Y2K-inspired vintage store, ‘Anela’s Vintage‘, an online vintage fashion boutique. The proceeds will benefit the LA Fire Department, which has been working tirelessly to put out the wildfires ravaging the city.

As well as becoming a fashion and beauty entrepreneur, Chase is also the official makeup artist for TLC, which is a perfect match for the ladies, as Chase knows their beauty needs so well.

“Chase is our makeup artist, for me and Chilli“, T-Boz explains. “Chilli is one of the most pickiest people on this planet! She makes all of our makeup artists feel bad. But she doesn’t do that to Chase. So, when she asked if Chase could be our makeup artist, I was [amazed]. Chase is the perfect person to do this”.

The multi-platinum artist reveals she recently moved to Tennessee and is looking forward to writing with country artists. “I want to start working with some country artists, because I’m good at writing pop and country pop. I want to beef up my catalog”.

T-Boz is grateful to finally own her own masters and reveals that companies are eager to get a chance to buy them. “The people are approaching me to sell my music, because I own my own masters and publishing. It took Lord knows how long to get to that point, but I’m here God, I’m here!”

She also wants to get into producing films and has been writing movie scripts, which she firstly did in 2005 with T.I. on the movie ‘ATL’. “I’m into writing movie scripts, so I want to start producing movies, because that’s all I do — watch movies”, T-Boz exclaims.

“I don’t believe in doing something that I’m not good at, but I know I’m good at that”, T-Boz states proudly. “My scripts are — they are some good scripts, I know they are! I have some people interested right now, so look out for me behind the cameras”.

As for the upcoming TLC musical, ‘CrazySexyCool: The TLC Musical‘, T-Boz explains that it will be something different to the previously told stories about TLC’s history. “It’s not going to be typical, like behind the music and all that. It’ll be more like the strength and triumph of three females and probably through the eye lens of the lyrics of our songs, if that makes sense,” T-Boz said.

“So I think it’ll be done differently. It’s time consuming. This is the third year we’ve been working on it, but it actually will hit Broadway next year, and I’m nervous about that. Like, she gets nervous. I get nervous.”

What do you think about T-Boz’s move to Tennessee? Are you looking forward to some T-Boz country pop? T-Boz movie? And the TLC musical?

TLC Stage Musical ‘CrazySexyCool: The TLC Musical’ Set To Make World Premiere in Summer 2026

Leon@TLCArmy's avatarLeon@TLCArmy 1 Comment

The development of the eagerly awaited TLC musical is officially in it’s final stages and set to make its premiere to the theaters in 2026!

Ever since we previously revealed back in 2018 that T-Boz and Chilli expressed interest and wishes to pursue their dream to create a TLC musical, they have be gradually gearing up to making it become a reality.

According to an announcement via The Hollywood Reporter, the musical is described as a “semi-biographical” look at the chart-topping girl group.

The musical about girl group TLC will make its world premiere in Washington D.C. next summer.

Written and directed by Olivier-Award winner Kwame Kwei-Armah, ‘CrazySexyCool: The TLC Musical’ will premiere at Arena Stage Theater from June 12, 2026 through Aug. 9. The musical is described as a “semi-biographical” look at the chart-topping girl group, which produced hits such as “No Scrubs,” “Waterfalls” and “Unpretty.”

The musical will feature pre-existing songs from TLC. Chloe O. Davis will choreograph the show. Kwei-Armah also wrote and directed ‘One Love: The Bob Marley Musical‘.

“TLC is synonymous with rebellion — using their art to challenge, subvert and entertain,” Kwei-Armah said. “Why a musical? Why now? Their lives need to be sung. It’s about that time!”

An official Instagram account for the TLC musical went live today, as well as an account on Twitter/X.

No word on if TLC will indeed record new music to accompany the project, which they had previously expressed plans to do.

“Bringing this story to the stage is a dream come true,” Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins told Playbill. “We have performed in a lot of different venues all over the world throughout our career, but bringing our story and music to the theater is a totally new and exciting challenge.”

“We have some of the best people in the business working on this project,” said Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas. “Audiences will get to hear our story—mostly fact with a sprinkle of fiction – told in our own way, and of course it’s set to all your favorite hits!”

Bill Diggins, whose Diggit Theatrical Group is producing the musical, said in a press release: “TLC completely changed the game. Their music gave a voice to women everywhere, empowering them to be confident and unapologetic. But this isn’t just a story about the music; it’s about the sisterhood between these women and what kept them together through both unimaginable challenges and chart-topping success.”
