Thankful For R&B Delivered a Soulful, Sold-Out Night in Chicago

Chicago, IL — November 30, 2025

Last night at Reggies, Chicago came together for a powerful celebration of soul, artistry, and real R&B at Thankful For R&B — and the house was packed from wall to wall. The energy was high, the crowd was locked in, and the performances made it a night to remember.

Salute to KHEEMERFEST for curating another great event and continuing to uplift R&B culture in the city. Every detail, from the lineup to the atmosphere, was crafted with intention — and the audience felt it.

Kincy opened the show with a smooth, heartfelt performance that instantly pulled everybody into the vibe. His live delivery set the perfect tone, warming up the room with emotion and authenticity.

Then Issa hit the stage — and she absolutely raised the bar.

Her talent is undeniable. Issa’s voice, control, and stage presence were on full display as she moved effortlessly through her set. She owned every moment, connecting with the crowd in a way only true artists can. She’s not just rising — she’s shining.

And closing out the night was none other than Kenyon Dixon, who delivered a soulful, masterful set that reminded everyone why he’s one of the most respected voices in today’s R&B. His performance was polished, passionate, and powerful — the perfect finale to an already incredible event.

Thankful For R&B wasn’t just a concert.
It was a celebration. A reminder of why this genre means so much. A moment where Chicago’s love for real music took center stage.

Huge respect to KHEEMERFEST for bringing the city together once again and giving fans an experience they’ll be talking about for a long time.
