The Black Promoters Collective (BPC) continues its rise in the global live entertainment industry, landing at No. 14 on Pollstar’s 2026 Top 50 Worldwide Promoters Grosses chart, a significant milestone that places the company firmly among the top promoters in the world.

The Top 15 ranking reflects BPC’s continued growth, including sold-out tours, award recognition, and live experiences that have deeply connected with audiences. As the only wholly Black-owned company on the global list, BPC’s ascent is as much a statement of mission as it is of momentum.

This achievement follows a strong awards cycle, with BPC earning multiple 2026 Pollstar Award nominations. The Millennium Tour 2025 was recognized for Hip-Hop Tour of the Year, while Brandy & Monica’s The Boy Is Mine Tour and The Queens! 4 Legends. 1 Stage. Tour was nominated for R&B Tour of the Year.

This momentum continues in 2026. The New Edition Way Tour, featuring Boyz II Men and Toni Braxton, is nearing its final weeks after sold-out dates nationwide. BPC consistently partners with leading artists to deliver compelling tour packages. New Edition remains popular across generations and currently leads the fan vote for their 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination.

The Boys 4 Life Tour, co-headlined by B2K and Bow Wow, launched in early March to a strong audience response and significant social media attention. The tour resonates with millennial and returning fans, featuring energetic performances.

Floetry’s Say Yes The Tour launches in early April, marking the duo’s first national run together since 2016. Joined by Raheem DeVaughn and Teedra Moses, the tour offers a soulful R&B experience and a long-awaited return for dedicated fans.

This spring, The Queens! 4 Legends. 1 Stage. Tour featuring Stephanie Mills, Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, and Chaka Khan returns for its third leg in May, following its Pollstar nomination. Additional upcoming events include the Hampton Jazz & Music Festival, Rock The Bells Festival, and select dates on Ella Mai’s Do You Still Love Me Tour, further expanding BPC’s reach across genres and audiences.

Since its founding, BPC has built its reputation on live events that unite generations and highlight Black artistry. The company’s rise from emerging promoter to a top-15 global ranking demonstrates that programming rooted in legacy and community can achieve strong commercial results.
