The R&B icons are teaming up again for a Las Vegas residency celebrating their musical legacies and iconic collaboration.

If you weren’t ready to say goodbye to Brandy and Monica after their highly anticipated reunion tour and unforgettable performance at the 2026 ESSENCE Festival of Culture , there’s good news to share. The R&B legends are keeping the momentum going with a Las Vegas residency. This means fans get another opportunity to sing along to some of their favorite '90s and early 2000s R&B classics.

The singers have announced their first-ever joint residency titled The Boy Is Mine Vegas Residency, which will bring their partnership to Resorts World Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas. Beginning May 29, 2027, the women are set to give fans a 10-show engagement running through July 17.

The tour announcement followed a special performance of their Grammy-winning tune, “The Boy Is Mine,” on the latest, Grammy-themed episode of Dancing With the Stars .

“We’re so, so excited. So blessed. I just feel like this is a long time coming,” Brandy shared following the performance in a conversation with Entertainment Tonight. "This is something I've wanted and dreamed for us for such a long time, and it's finally here."

The iconic singers enjoyed a successful run with The Boy Is Mine Tour. It was their first-ever joint headlining arena tour and took place in 2025. It featured an impressive lineup of supporting acts, including Kelly Rowland , Coco Jones, Muni Long , and Jamal Roberts. Fans also saw a few surprise guests along the way, including Missy Elliott , Ciara, Ludacris, Kehlani, LL Cool J, Tyrese, and 50 Cent.

The tour was a nostalgic trip down memory lane, giving audiences an opportunity to celebrate Black R&B artists who helped shape an entire generation of music lovers.

Monica credited Brandy with dreaming up the idea for their Vegas residency, praising her musical counterpart for always thinking ahead.

“She manifested this entire thing. And it's just been amazing to watch the level of support we still receive after so many years. It's inspiring. It makes you want to get back out there and do your thing."

The two have come a long way since the release of “The Boy Is Mine” in 1998. The chart-topping duet spent 13 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned the singers a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

"It's so much to explore and create and to do, and we're definitely going to take the residency to another level, higher level than The Boy Is Mine Tour, which is really hard to beat because it was so great. But we are really excited," Brandy said.

"We're looking forward to making sure that people get the experience, that nostalgic, that inspiring, that musical, that fun—we don't ever want them to lose that fun. I think that was the best part of the tour. People really came and had a good time. There were no stiff shirts sitting around. They were having fun, singing and dancing along. And so I'm just excited about the opportunity, but also for our kids to be able to see us do something of this magnitude," Monica added.

For the upcoming residency, fans can expect a production that celebrates both their individual musical journeys and their shared history. With 10 performances planned, the experience will offer an intimate opportunity to revisit fan favorites.

Tickets for The Boy Is Mine Vegas Residency go on sale to the general public November 20 at 10 a.m. PT through AXS.
