“This tour is unlike anything I’ve done before. As someone who truly loves R&B, getting to share the stage with my friends Babyface, K-Ci, and El is something I’m really looking forward to,” Wilson says in a statement.

“I’ve been performing for so long that my audience isn’t just made up of fans, it really has become a family,” he adds. “Over the years, I’ve come to recognize so many faces, and we’ve grown together through the music. The R&B cookout is gonna be one big family reunion for us and our fans.”

In select cities, there will be a VIP cookout before the show that “brings the backyard to the venue” with a food menu and specialty cocktails.

Tickets for Uncle Charlie’s R&B Cookout Tour go on sale to the general public Friday, April 18, at 10 a.m. local time at unclecharliescookout.com.
