The Start Of The Road: New Edition, Boyz II Men, Toni Braxton Open 30-City Tour At Oakland Arena (Review)

The arena tour began at the Oakland Arena on Jan. 28 as a 30-city outing, and continues to be a juggernaut. Adding to their spectacular year, this past Feb. 25, New Edition was announced as a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominee. Winners are determined by a combination of an official voting body and fan votes. New Edition climbed up several places on the 2026 Fan Vote Leaderboard this week, a testament to their fans. As of this writing (Mar. 6), New Edition is in second place — just behind Phil Collins. 

New Edition performed in Cleveland, where the Rock Hall is based, just days before the nominations were unveiled. DeVoe shares that he made a video while in the city, trying to manifest the honor, and was startled that it happened so quickly.

“Like yo, I’m speaking this into existence,” Ronnie DeVoe said. “‘One of these days we’re going to be inside.’ And it’s crazy because three days later, we get the nod and the nomination.”
