Okay, December plans? Sorted. The RnB Xmas Ball 2025 is about to shut the UK down, and I’m not exaggerating. Boyz II Men, Toni Braxton, Joe, and Dru Hill all on one lineup? This is the kind of show that makes you dig out your old CDs, light a candle, and start singing into your hairbrush like it’s 1998 again.

The party kicks off in London on 8 December at The O2, before rolling into Birmingham (10 December, BP Pulse Live) and Manchester (14 December, Co-op Live). And trust me, they’re bringing that old-school magic we all grew up on with live bands, harmonies that hit you right in the chest, and all those slow jams we still know word for word.

This is only the third year of the RnB Xmas Ball, but it’s already building a reputation for those moments. Last year it was Monica, SWV, Keith Sweat… this year they’re levelling up. Boyz II Men’s return alone is worth the ticket price, and Toni Braxton finally back in the UK after five years just seals the deal. Add Joe’s smoothest hits (Don’t Wanna Be a Player, anyone?) and Dru Hill with Sisqó in full energy mode, and you’ve got yourself a proper December celebration.

A group of ten people in stylish outfits. One woman in a red feathered dress. Some wear sunglasses and leather jackets on a white backdrop.

Tickets will go fast. Pre-sales start 22 July (artist), 24 July (venue), and general sale hits a few days ago via Ticketmaster and AXS.

Oh, and because we like to make life sweeter, they are running an Instagram ticket giveaway from 21 July to 1 September. All you have to do is follow, like, and share. Easy.

Honestly, this lineup feels like a love letter to every RnB fan out there. December is going to feel different with these legends on stage and if you’re lucky, you might just be there for free.
