Brandy and Monica used a network TV appearance to share the next phase of their renewed partnership: a Las Vegas residency.
On Tuesday (Nov. 10), the R&B titans appeared as guest performers on Dancing With the Stars for its Grammy-themed episode, doing their 1998 duet “The Boy Is Mine.” They used that spotlight to announce something even bigger: an upcoming series of shows at Resorts World Las Vegas.
The Boy Is Mine Las Vegas Residency will be a series of nine shows between May and July, 2027. It comes on the heels of the singers’ joint tour in late 2025.
Tickets will go on sale Friday, Nov. 20 at 10 a.m. PT here, but there are various presales that begin as early as Monday, Nov. 16.
Monica told Billboard that it was a Gladys Knight show that opened her eyes to the possibility of playing on the Strip.
“I absolutely adore her. She is a fellow alto, and one of the most genuine human beings I’ve ever crossed paths with in 30 years that I’ve been in the music business,” Monica said of Knight. “She’s always had open arms and always been so kind and genuine towards me. I enjoyed her show so much. And at the time, her brother was also there. It really was one of the greatest shows, and probably the first time that I said to myself, ‘I could totally see myself being in Vegas eventually,’ because I love being in one place.”
The residency will be produced by the Black Promoters Collective.
“BPC is proud to be working with Brandy and Monica again,” Shelby Joyner, President of Black Promoters Collective, said in a statement. “We saw on The Boy Is Mine tour how much it meant to fans to see them share a stage, and I’m excited to build on what we created together. Bringing The Boy Is Mine to Las Vegas as Black Promoters Collective’s first residency is a big moment for us. We’ve built BPC by betting on artists we believe in and listening to their fans. This residency takes that work into a new arena for our company, and I can’t think of two artists I’d rather take that step with.”
