Ashanti and Nelly are preparing to take their musical chemistry on the road, announcing plans for a joint tour in 2027 that will bring their catalogues of R&B and hip-hop hits to the stage together.
The married music stars shared the news during an appearance on Good Day New York on October 21, while promoting the upcoming second season of their reality series, Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together. Although the announcement has generated excitement among fans, the artists have yet to reveal specific dates, venues or cities for the tour.
The planned tour will give fans an opportunity to experience two of the most recognisable names in early-2000s R&B and hip-hop on the same stage. Ashanti rose to prominence with hits such as “Foolish,” “Happy” and “Rock Wit U,” while Nelly became a major force in rap with records including “Hot in Herre,” “Dilemma” and “Ride wit Me.”
The pair also share a musical history through their collaboration “Body on Me,” which features Akon. Their joint performances could bring together solo favourites and their collaborative catalogue, although the final setlist has not been announced.
The tour plans arrive as the couple prepare for the return of their reality series. Season two of Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together is scheduled to premiere on Peacock on November 19, offering viewers another look at their relationship, family life and professional commitments. The upcoming season will also follow Ashanti’s efforts to re-record her debut album as she works toward greater control over her master recordings.
The announcement also comes amid renewed discussion of the couple potentially making more music together. While they have hinted at the possibility of future recordings, no new joint project has been officially confirmed.
For Ashanti and Nelly, the planned 2027 tour represents another chapter in a relationship that has connected their personal lives with their musical careers. Their reunion as a couple has brought renewed attention to their shared history, while the prospect of a joint tour offers fans a chance to revisit the songs that helped define an era of mainstream R&B and hip-hop.
Further details, including ticket information and the tour schedule, are expected to be announced at a later date.
