Twenty-eight years after The Boy Is Mine, Brandy and Monica are giving it a Las Vegas home for 10 nights
Brandy and Monica will play 10 shows at the Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas between 29 May and 17 July 2027 under the banner The Boy Is Mine Vegas Residency. They announced it while performing their 1998 duet on Dancing With the Stars. Presales open on 16 November US time and general tickets go on sale on 20 November.
Three things to know
- The run is 10 nights: 29 and 30 May; 2, 4 and 5 June; and 9, 10, 14, 16 and 17 July 2027, with shows at 8pm Las Vegas time.
- It is the first residency for the Black Promoters Collective, which co-produces it with AEG Presents Las Vegas after promoting the pair's sold-out 2025 arena tour.
- General tickets go on sale at 10am Pacific time on Friday 20 November, which is 2am Saturday in Perth and 5am in Sydney.
For two singers once sold to the public as rivals, Brandy and Monica have become one of R&B’s most reliable double acts. Now they have a room to themselves.
The pair will take The Boy Is Mine to the Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas for 10 nights from Saturday 29 May 2027, finishing on Saturday 17 July. They revealed the run during a performance of the song on Dancing With the Stars in the US on Tuesday night.
The show is billed as an all-new production rather than a transplant of the 2025 tour. Both will perform from their own catalogues and sing the hits they made together.
Who is behind it?
The Black Promoters Collective, which put the pair on the road in 2025, is co-producing with AEG Presents Las Vegas. It is the collective’s first residency.
Its president, Shelby Joyner, said the tour showed “how much it meant to fans to see them share a stage”, and called the Las Vegas run “a big moment for us”.
That matters beyond one booking: a residency on the Strip is one of the most valuable formats in live music, and this one puts a Black-owned promoter’s name on the marquee alongside one of the biggest companies in the business.
Why does this song still carry so much weight?
“The Boy Is Mine” spent 13 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1998 and won the duo a Grammy. It was sold at the time as a feud set to music, and the rumours of real-life tension followed both singers for years.
The song found a new generation in 2024, when Ariana Grande released a remix of her own “the boy is mine” featuring Brandy and Monica. Their 2025 co-headline tour sold out and earned a Pollstar Award nomination for R&B Tour of the Year.
Brandy had hinted at a residency on stage in Los Angeles in November 2025, joking she still had to run it past Monica’s team. It has taken a year, and arrives in 2027 rather than the 2026 she floated.
How do I get tickets?
Sales run through AXS. An American Express presale starts at 10am Pacific time on Monday 16 November, followed by an artist presale on Wednesday 18 November and local presales on Thursday 19 November, all at 10am Pacific. In Australia that is 2am AWST or 5am AEDT the following day. General sale opens at 10am Pacific on Friday 20 November. Prices have not been announced.
For Australian fans the residency is a holiday booking rather than a local gig: no Australian dates have been announced for the pair.
