The 38 biggest R&B and funk concert tours in 2022: How to see Diana Ross and Smokey Robinson

Let’s groove tonight — and every other night this year.

That won’t be too hard with some of the biggest names in R&B and funk heading to venues all over the U.S. this year.

Whether it’s ‘60s stalwarts, like Diana Ross and Smokey Robinson, or more modern ‘00s icons Usher and Alicia Keys, there’s a little something for all fans to get down to this year.

Who knows? We might even get a Beyonce tour, too.

For now though, here are all the biggest R&B and funk tours that may be coming to a venue near you in the next few months.
