Kool & the Gang

Legendary R&B and funk band Kool & the Gang will perform an unforgettable night of music at the Peabody Auditorium on Sunday, Nov. 10, at 7:30 p.m. Patrons can expect to “Get Down On It” as this concert celebrates the band's iconic hits that have defined the genre. 

Kool and the Gang have achieved significant success over the course of their career, thanks to their popular hits “Celebration,” “Jungle Boogie,” “Summer Madness,” “Cherish” and “Open Sesame.” Their accolades include two Grammy awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B hits, 9 Top 10 Pop hits, and 31 gold and platinum albums. With continuous performances from Nairobi to Newark, Kool & the Gang have performed longer than any R&B group in history. Additionally, the band's bulletproof funk and jazzy arrangements have made them the most sampled R&B band of all time. Their contributions to music are evident, proven by their recent nomination into the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. 

The heavily in-demand band has continued to tour the world, appearing most recently alongside Kid Rock, Dave Matthews Band, Elton John, The Roots, and a 50-city tour with the legendary rock band Van Halen.
