Here's who's taking the stage, and why each night is worth the ticket.

RL (Robert Lavelle Huggar)

The unmistakable voice behind multi-platinum group NEXT, RL has spent over three decades shaping R&B from Too Close to Wifey and Butta Love. Beyond his own catalogue, he's written and collaborated with everyone from Usher and Jamie Foxx to Snoop Dogg and 2Pac. Seeing him live means hearing the songs that soundtracked a generation, straight from the source.

Mya

A Grammy winner and one of the most distinctive voices in R&B history, Mýa's run of hits Case of the Ex, My Love Is Like… Wo, Free, It's All About Me, has stayed on rotation for over 25 years. Add her unforgettable feature on Lady Marmalade, and you've got a performer whose live shows are known for their vocal power and stage presence.

Zonke Dikana

South Africa's own multi-platinum Afro-soul queen. Zonke's soulful voice, sharp songwriting and multiple SAMA and MTV Africa Music Award wins have made her one of the most respected artists in the country. She's proof that this lineup isn't just about nostalgia acts flown in from overseas, it's a genuine celebration of world-class local talent standing shoulder to shoulder with global icons.

Ginuwine

Few artists shaped the sound of late-'90s and 2000s R&B quite like Ginuwine. Working alongside Timbaland, he delivered classics like Pony, Differences and In Those Jeans — songs that still fill dance floors decades later. As a member of supergroup TGT with Tank and Tyrese, his influence on the genre runs deep.

Case

A two-time Grammy nominee and one of the defining voices of turn-of-the-century R&B, Case's hits Touch Me, Tease Me, Missing You and Living It Up are woven into the soundtrack of an era. For longtime R&B fans, this is a rare chance to hear those songs performed live.

Vusi Nova

One of South Africa's most powerful contemporary soul voices, Vusi Nova brings raw emotion and commanding stage presence to every performance. His inclusion alongside international heavyweights is a reminder of just how strong South Africa's own R&B and soul scene has become.

Tyrese Gibson

Closing the weekend is a true multi-hyphenate Grammy-nominated musician, actor and author Tyrese Gibson. From his platinum-selling solo albums to his global fame through the Fast & Furious and Transformers franchises, Tyrese brings star power and decades of hits to close the Grandeur weekend on a high note.
