About New Edition
Few groups in modern music history have left a cultural footprint as deep and lasting as New Edition. As one of the most influential R&B and pop groups of all time, New Edition helped define a generation of music, style, and performance—setting the blueprint for every major vocal group that followed. With decades of chart success, sold-out tours, and enduring fan devotion, New Edition remains a premier live entertainment draw with unmatched legacy appeal.
Formed in Boston and rising to global prominence in the 1980s, New Edition introduced a sound that blended R&B, pop, soul, and dance-driven performance into a polished, crowd-ready experience.
