According to PR Newswire, the iconic neo-soul duo Floetry—comprising Marsha Ambrosius and Natalie “The Floacist” Stewart—is officially returning to the stage together. The “Say Yes” Tour marks their first national run in the United States since 2016, a moment fans of early 2000s R&B have been waiting for for years.
The 16-city tour, produced by the Black Promoters Collective, is set to kick off in April 2026 in Newark and will feature supporting acts Raheem DeVaughn and Teedra Moses. The announcement has sent waves through the soul and hip-hop community, as the duo is credited with pioneering the blend of spoken word and melodic R&B.
For years, rumors of a rift between the two artists kept them apart, with both pursuing successful solo careers. However, this reunion signifies a “celebration and a revival,” aimed at bringing their platinum-selling sound back to an audience that has remained loyal through their decade-long hiatus.
Presale tickets went live on Thursday morning, with general sales scheduled for Friday. The tour is expected to be an intimate, “soul-forward” experience, focusing on the lyrical depth and vocal harmony that made them a staple of the neo-soul movement.

* Black Promoters Collective (Official): “Floetry’s work helped normalize poetry as a lead voice in R&B… we are proud to produce this revival.”
Echotitbits take:
The “reunion tour” trend is hitting its peak in 2026, but Floetry’s return feels particularly significant for the R&B community. Their influence on the “poetic soul” sub-genre is massive, and with the current resurgence of 90s and 2000s aesthetics, this tour is timed perfectly. It’s a chance for them to reclaim their throne before a new generation of soul artists who grew up on their “Floetic” album.
