Prudential Center presents Jhené Aiko and "The Magic Hour Tour"

(NEWARK, NJ) -- Six-time GRAMMY nominated R&B sensation Jhené Aiko will bring her headlining tour to the Prudential Center on Saturday, June 29, 2024 at 8:00pm. For the first time in five years, Jhené Aiko will share her illustrious pop and R&B sound with Newark. "The Magic Hour Tour" co-stars Coi Leray, Tink, Umi, and Kiana Lede.

A Los Angeles native, Jhené Aiko has remained at the forefront of a new wave of contemporary R&B for more than a decade. She is known for experimenting with a range of styles – incorporating sound healing, modern mantra, and the use of crystal alchemy sound bowls in her music. She crowned a breakthrough year in 2020 with over three billion streams worldwide and three GRAMMY nominations for her third studio album, Chilombo, including Album of The Year.

Chilombo, now certified platinum with seven gold and platinum singles, topped the charts twice and was nominated for four Billboard Music Awards, an American Music Award for Best Soul/R&B female, two Soul Train Awards, won the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Album and was a 2021 BET Award nominee for Best Female R&B Artist. In 2022, Aiko performed “America the Beautiful” at Super Bowl LVI.

Tickets are available for purchase online. Prudential Center is located at 25 Lafayette Street in Newark, New Jersey.

Coi Leray from Hackensack, comes home to New Jersey. The daughter of rapper and media executive Benzino, she began her musical career in 2018 with the release of her debut mixtape, Everythingcoz, and since things have not slowed down. Coi Leray, a social media fan favorite, continuously tours throughout the U.S. and internationally. Her first break on the music charts was in 2021 when the Lil Durk remix of her song "No More Parties" peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and received double platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
