BeBe Winans let his sister do the talking. During a Friday conversation with Erica Campbell on "Get Up! Mornings With Erica Campbell," he gave CeCe the floor, and she confirmed the news fans have requested for years. The brother-and-sister duo, whose hits topped gospel and R&B charts alike, will tour together again next spring.
The reunion comes 16 years after a 2011 run that the Detroit Free Press described at the time as their farewell tour. The reveal landed with a host who shares that history. Campbell toured with the siblings in 2011 as one half of Mary Mary.
The Encore Tour opens April 7 in Rosemont, Illinois, and closes April 30 in Las Vegas, according to the itinerary reported by That Grape Juice. The second night brings the Detroit natives home to the Fox Theatre on April 8, according to 313 Presents. Fifteen dates have been announced so far, with stops in Philadelphia, New York, Atlanta and Los Angeles.
A partner presale opened Friday, and Ticketmaster and Live Nation presales begin Monday, Nov. 16, at 10 a.m. local time, according to Ticketmaster. Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, Nov. 20, at 10 a.m. local time. Get Up! Mornings reported that fans can use the presale code HEAVEN at bbwncc.com.
CeCe told Campbell the tour grew out of years of fan requests for a reunion. "I hope we can expect, first of all, just to be able to experience some good memories," she said. She described the shows as a way to give back to longtime supporters and to introduce the duo's music to a younger generation, including fans who will see the two of them on one stage for the first time. Campbell offered to join the tour as an opening act or host.

BeBe used the conversation to talk about identity. Asked what advice he would give younger artists, he stressed knowing what sets each artist apart. He said the siblings included solo songs on every album they recorded together, even when their record company did not support the choice, because they believed God had individual plans for each of them.
The siblings come from the Detroit family that became synonymous with gospel music. They got their start as background singers on "The PTL Club" and released their debut, "Lord Lift Us Up," in 1984. Their 1987 self-titled album opened a run of crossover favorites that included "Heaven," "Addictive Love" and "Lost Without You."
The pair split in 1995 to pursue solo careers and reunited for "Still" in 2009, their first album together in more than 15 years. It won two Grammys in 2011, Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album and Best Gospel Performance for "Grace," and the Still Something Big tour with Mary Mary followed that spring.
BeBe once joked to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he is allergic to the word "tour." When the siblings co-hosted the 40th Stellar Gospel Music Awards in Nashville in August 2025, CeCe told CBN News, "Well, I kind of dragged him in."
CeCe comes to the reunion from one of the busiest stretches of her career. In 2026 she headlined the More Than This Tour and the COME WORSHIP! Tour, billed as the largest headlining run of her career, and released her album "The Hymns" in June. She begins the Christmas Together tour with Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith on Nov. 27 in Columbus, Ohio.
