Danity Kane is staging a reunion tour after the conclusion of the band’s founder Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial.
The girl group announced the news via Instagram on Wednesday, October 15, noting that VIP tickets will go on sale Thursday, October 16. General onsale begins Friday, October 17.
The announcement didn’t specify which members will be part of the reunion, but a press release gave fans a hint of what to expect when the tour kicks off in San Francisco on December 9. “The Untold Chapter Tour isn’t just a concert. It’s a reckoning. It’s the truth behind the story,” the release read. “It’s the reunion that no one thought [was] possible. With setlists reshaped, confessions revealed and moments that will never happen the same way twice, this tour promises to leave audiences shaken, inspired and forever changed.” (Original member Dawn Richard previously confirmed via X that she is not part of the reunion.)
The tour will consist of nine shows, with stops in Los Angeles plus Connecticut’s Uncasville, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Boston before wrapping in New York City on December 19.
Danity Kane was formed on Diddy’s MTV series Making the Band in 2005. Diddy, 55, signed the group — which originally consisted of Aubrey O’Day, Shannon Bex, D. Woods, Aundrea Fimbres and Richard — to his label, Bad Boy Records, at the time. The band has been through several iterations since then, with Woods, 42, departing in 2008 and Fimbres, also 42, exiting in 2014. Prior to their reunion announcement, Danity Kane had been on an indefinite hiatus since 2020.
In the interim, members of Danity Kane made headlines amid Diddy’s legal troubles. The disgraced music mogul has been behind bars since his September 2024 arrest. During his trial, he was found guilty of two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution and not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking, with a jury delivering the verdict in July. Earlier this month, Diddy was sentenced to 50 months in prison.
Richard, 42, was among those who came forward to accuse Diddy of abuse, filing a lawsuit against him in September 2024 in which she claimed that he touched her inappropriately, locked her in a car for two hours and caused her to become dehydrated and fatigued by forcing her to rehearse for up to 48 hours at a time.
“Mr. Combs is shocked and disappointed by this lawsuit,” Diddy’s attorney Erica Wolff told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. “In an attempt to rewrite history, Dawn Richard has now manufactured a series of false claims all in the hopes of trying to get a payday — conveniently timed to coincide with her album release and press tour.”
Richard also testified against Diddy at his trial, claiming that she witnessed him physically abusing his ex-girlfriend Cassie on several occasions.
Although they did not take the stand, Woods, 42, and O’Day, 41, have been publicly critical of Diddy’s alleged behavior too.
“He did it in different ways with all of us, you know, picking and prodding and just a way to chip and knock away, but then praise you,” Woods said on Good Morning America in January of Diddy’s alleged emotional and verbal abuse. “Somebody constantly treating you like a piece of meat.”
O’Day, for her part, claimed on the “Crysis Queen” podcast in September 2024, “With Diddy, I saw multiple sides of him, but I don’t know who I was ever talking to that was sober. There was always an element of something going on.”
