SWV plays Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg, Florida on May 14, 2017.

There are some bands that shepard people through adolescence, and the ones coming to Tampa on the Queens of R&B tour certainly did that.

This bill finds Xscape (“Who Can I Run To?”) and SWV (“Weak”) onstage together, mixing and matching hits like we are back in the era of six-CD car changers on shuffle. Bad Boy trio Total supports the nostalgic offering along with Mya (“Ghetto Superstar”) and “Where My Girls At” hitmaker 702.

Tickets to The Queens of R&B tour with Xscape & SWV at Tampa's MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre on Saturday, July 13 are still available and start at $29.
