New Edition hits the road with a major tour in celebration of the 30th anniversary of their first album,“Candy Girl”. The now grown up boy band including Bobby Brown, Ronnie DeVoe, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant, Michael Bivins, and Ricky Bell have a schedule of live dates and are working on a book, movie, and a stage play in 2012.

In a 2011 Billboard.com interview, DeVoe explained, “2012 is going to be an incredible year for us.” The group will also begin work on their first album of all new material since their 1996 release “Home Again.” In the spring of 2011, New Edition issued a press release announcing that all six members were reuniting to kick off the 30th anniversary celebration of Candy Girl with their fans.

All six original members take the stage in this very exciting show, performing all your favorites from “Candy Girl” to “Can You Stand the Rain,” plus many of the tunes that launched their solo careers, including “My Prerogative” (Bobby Brown), “My My My” (Johnny Gill), “Sensitivity” (Ralph Tresvant), and more!
