For the very first time in New Zealand, Illusive Presents, Frontier Touring and Mai FM are ecstatic to announce that two of the biggest names in contemporary RNB - TLC and Boyz II Men - will return to New Zealand this summer for one special co-headline show in Christchurch. This will be the first time TLC have ever visited the South Island, and will mark the first show down south for Boyz II Men this decade.

Snoop Dogg)’ that follow the same CrazySexyCool style of anthems ‘No Scrubs’, ‘Waterfalls’ and ‘Unpretty’.

One of the music industry’s most elite and truly iconic R&B groups, over the past two decades Boyz II Men have given fans a rich catalogue of hits filled with smooth harmonies and enduring themes. The trio’s four Grammy Awards are just the tip of the iceberg: throughout their 25-year career, Boyz II Men have numerous prestigious accolades to their name including nine American Music Awards, nine Soul Train Awards and three Billboard Music Awards.

Boyz II Men have won fans the world over with their soulful multi-octave sound and incredible vocals from mega hits like ‘End Of The Road’, ‘I’ll Make Love To You’ and ‘One Sweet Day (feat. Mariah Carey)’ plus smooth tunes from recent release Under The Streetlight (out now through Universal Music) like ‘Ladies Man’ and ‘Stay’.
