Strictly R&B Park Jam

Get ready for an unforgettable night of smooth vocals, throwback hits, and nonstop energy at the Strictly R&B Park Jam, taking over Promenade Park on August 22, 2026.

Co-headlining the night is Grammy-nominated R&B artist Jon B., known for his silky sound and timeless hits like “They Don’t Know” and “Someone to Love.” With a career spanning decades, Jon B. has remained a staple in the genre, blending classic R&B with contemporary soul for a live performance that delivers both nostalgia and undeniable groove.

Joining him is legendary R&B group Next, best known for their chart-topping smash “Too Close.” With their signature harmonies and late-’90s hit-making pedigree, Next helped define an era of R&B—and their live show brings that same energy and crowd-moving sound to the stage.

Set against the scenic backdrop of the Maumee River, this outdoor concert blends iconic music with the electric atmosphere of a summer night in downtown Toledo.
