It’s time to hang on the passenger’s side of your best friend’s ride—especially if ‘90s R&B girl groups are on rotation in your playlist.

Today, TLC, Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue announced the “It’s Iconic” tour (stylized all-caps), which includes a stop in Tampa this fall. No bustas allowed.

Included in the performance lineup are classics from the groups’ debut and best-selling albums, from TLC’s “No Scrubs” and “Waterfalls” to Salt-N-Pepa’s “Shoop” and “Push it” and En Vogue’s “Free Your Mind,” according to a press release.

In the announcement, Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins said the lineup had ““supergirl power,” while Cindy Herron of En Vogue promised a “feast for the audience.” 

Watkins and her TLC bandmate Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas remain a duo, 24 years after the 2002 death of 30-year-old Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, who was touted not just as the group’s rapper but as its creative force in songwriting and visuals. 

The September show is one of just two Florida dates on the tour featuring the R&B legends.

TLC has five Grammys to its name, and was also the first female group to win Video of the Year at the MTV Music Awards in 1995 for “Waterfalls.” Salt-N-Pepa’s Cheryl “Salt” James, Sandra “Pepa” Denton and Deidra “Spinderella” also made strides as the first all-female rap group to earn platinum certification. En Vogue also has three MTV Video Music Awards and seven Grammy nominations. 

Tickets to see TLC, Salt-N-Pepa and En-Vogue play MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa on Wednesday, Sept. 23 go on sale to the public on Thursday, March 26—prices have not yet been announced.

Guests planning to park at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre need to purchase a separate parking pass per vehicle, which starts at $25. Parking lots open two hours before the venue is open for entry.
