When and where is the concert?

TLC and Salt-N-Pepa are headlining the concert, which is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, according to Ticketmaster.

The groups are set to join En Vogue at the Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek. The venue is located at 3801 Rock Quarry Road, a roughly 5-mile drive southeast from downtown Raleigh.

How to get tickets

Pre-sale tickets for the “It’s Iconic” tour will be available starting 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 24. To see when or if you may be able to get early access, visit the Ticketmaster website at ticketmaster.com

Then at 10 a.m. Thursday, March 26, seats are set to go on sale for the general public. You can find those tickets at livenation.com.

“Parking is sold separately from concert tickets,” Ticketmaster, which is part of Live Nation, wrote on its website. “Those who want to park at the venue will need to buy a parking pass.”

The Raleigh concert is one of dozens of upcoming tour stops the three groups have scheduled across the United States this summer and fall. The only other North Carolina show is planned for Charlotte on Sunday, Sept. 20.

“I feel like this is going to be the most fun touring experience I’ve ever had,” Cheryl James, also known as Salt from the hip-hop group Salt-N-Pepa, said in a March 23 video.

Salt-N-Pepa and the other groups on the tour rose to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s.

TLC is known for blending R&B and rap influences in hits such as “No Scrubs” and “Waterfalls.” Meanwhile, En Vogue made songs that “helped redefine contemporary R&B and set the vocal and visual standard for the generation of girl groups that followed,” according to Live Nation and the groups’ websites.
