Floetry, the iconic neo soul duo, makes a highly anticipated return with their first tour in a decade: the spring 2026 “Say Yes The Tour.” Marsha Ambrosius (“the Songstress”) and Natalie Stewart (“the Floacist”) will tour theaters nationwide this April and May, with support from three-time Grammy-nominated R&B singer Raheem DeVaughn, special guest Teedra Moses, sounds by Chill Vibes DJ Aktive, and hosted by Clint Coley.
Pre-sale begins on Thursday, February 12 at 10 a.m. EST (use code: “SayYes”). General on-sale will begin on Friday, February 13, at 10 a.m. EST.
The “Say Yes The Tour” will kick off on April 9 at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, NJ. Along the way, stops include The Met Philadelphia, Chicago Theatre, Anthem D.C., and the Novo in Los Angeles. The tour will conclude on May 17 at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, CA.
The tour announcement follows last year’s Floetry sold-out residency at Dave Chappelle’s intimate YS Firehouse in Yellow Springs, OH, where Marsha Ambrosius and Natalie Stewart performed for the first time together since 2016.

About Floetry:
Floetry, the English Neo Soul duo comprising Natalie Stewart (“the Floacist”) and Marsha Ambrosius (“the Songstress”), first began to capture attention in the UK on the underground poetry circuit. Formed in 1999, after meeting through their shared love of basketball ten years earlier, the Brit school alumni Ambrosius and Stewart began their journey when Marsha called Natalie and asked her to contribute poetry to the songs she was writing and producing. Natalie accepted, and they soon began performing on poetry stages in and around London.
Floetry recorded two studio albums – “Floetic” (2002) and “Flo’Ology” (2005). Marsha’s demo for Michael Jackson’s 2001 “Butterflies” appeared as a bonus track on the November 2002 release of “Floetic.” The Live Album “Floacism” was recorded at The House of Blues in New Orleans and was released in 2003.
Floetry was recognized and critically acclaimed, earning nominations for an impressive seven Grammy Awards. They also picked up three Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards and went on to pen classics for Earth, Wind & Fire, Patti LaBelle, Jill Scott, Macy Gray, and Bilal, to name a few.
