Two icons of R&B are set to take the stage at Grossinger Motors Arena on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 7:00 PM. Keith Sweat and Ginuwine will bring a night of classic hits, smooth vocals, and 90s R&B nostalgia to Central Illinois.
Keith Sweat, the Harlem-born pioneer of the New Jack Swing movement, has been a dominant force in R&B for more than three decades. With five consecutive #1 albums and more than 25 million records sold worldwide, Sweat is known for classics including "I Want Her," "Twisted," and "Make It Last Forever." His influence on modern R&B is undeniable, and his legacy continues through sold-out tours, chart-topping albums, and his nationally syndicated radio show, The Sweat Hotel.
Joining Sweat is Ginuwine, the Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum artist whose smooth vocals and electrifying performances made him one of the most recognizable R&B stars of the 1990s and 2000s. Best known for hits such as "Pony," "Differences," and "So Anxious," Ginuwine's career includes multiple platinum albums, iconic collaborations, and continued success on stages around the world.
