*This fall, GRAMMY-winning R&B group 112 embarks on the Room 112 Tour, their first-ever headlining run. Produced by Live Nation Urban, the 19-city journey kicks off November 5, 2025, in Akron, Ohio, and wraps February 6, 2026, in Atlanta. Along the way, the group will bring their timeless hits to major cities including Detroit, Brooklyn, Chicago, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC.
The tour lineup also features Total, the trailblazing girl group from the Bad Boy era, and GRAMMY-nominated artist Case. Together, they promise an intimate experience designed for fans eager to relive the golden era of R&B. VIP packages, including premium seating, meet-and-greet opportunities, and exclusive merchandise, will be available through VIP Nation.
For Michael ‘Mike’ Keith, the tour holds a special meaning. “Well, it’s different because this is our first headlining tour. We’ve been in the music industry 30 years and we performed with some of the greats, Whitney Houston and the Isley Brothers, New Edition, Janet Jackson, Puff Daddy, and the list goes on and on but this is the first time that 112 can say that this is our tour and it’s moving according to the way we want to.”

He describes the new approach as more theatrical, drawing comparisons to Broadway. “We’re more theatrical with our shows now, it’s more akin to a Hamilton than a regular concert… it makes for a great experience because that’s one of the things we strive to do is to make sure that our fan base has an overall great experience at our shows.”
Marvin ‘Slim’ Scandrick echoes the sentiment, promising fans something unexpected. “I’m going to say with this tour, expect the unexpected. This is going to be a real experience. It’s going to feel like a movie, and it’s layers, a lot of stuff that’s going to go on.”
Reflecting on their legacy, Slim recalls the group’s resilience during their early years. “I personally think that winning the Grammy or first and especially the second album, we had such a humongous debut that people were basically saying that maybe we would have sophomore Jinx, and we outsold the first one.”
For Mike, the turning point came even earlier. “… the signing of the first contract and putting that first album out… once we signed the deal… it became real to me that we are musicians.”
Their music continues to resonate across generations, especially with tracks like “Cupid.” Mike explains, “We had to go within ourselves and pull Cupid out. We took the (Babyface) song, When Can I See You Again, used that as a template for Cupid. So that’s why it hits, because we wanted a record that sounded like something that (Babyface) would do, and that’s where Cupid came from.”
Slim adds that the song’s influence has extended into today’s music. “We saw Drake on his podcast admit that Cupid was one of his favorite songs of all time. So, coming from a huge artist such as Drake, it’s like, okay, somebody’s been doing their homework.”
As they prepare to bring Room 112 to life, Mike emphasizes the importance of celebrating Total and other artists who shaped the ’90s alongside them.
“They were hand-picked, we specifically said we want Total because they’re our sisters… we really are like family… they need their flowers. They were one of the groups that were instrumental in the evolution of Bad Boy, and there would not be a Bad Boy without artists like Total.”
With three decades of history, 112 continues to honor the past while creating new experiences for fans. As Slim puts it, “We’re bringing the whole world to Room 112.”
