There’s something sacred about a Black cookout. The smoky scent of ribs in the air, two-step anthems playing from a Bluetooth speaker, and aunties doing the wobble in sundresses and sneakers. It’s more than a meal—it’s memory-making. And this summer, R&B legend Charlie Wilson is bottling up that very magic and taking it on the road.

Introducing Uncle Charlie’s R&B Cookout, a 21-city celebration of Black music, joy, and kinship, featuring a lineup that reads like a greatest hits playlist: Babyface, K-Ci Hailey, and El DeBarge. The tour kicks off at the Hollywood Bowl on August 27 (without DeBarge for select dates) and a night of high notes, harmony, and homegrown vibes.

“This tour is unlike anything I’ve done before,” Wilson shared in a statement. “As someone who truly loves R&B, getting to share the stage with my friends Babyface, K-Ci, and El is something I’m really looking forward to… The R&B cookout is gonna be one big family reunion for us and our fans.”
