Undivided Ent. has been living up to its name and serving us with a united front of entertainment for the past few years. Last night (April 16) they took to social media to announce that a Reunion Tour 2.0 is on the way!  

Reunion Tour 2.0 is a follow up to the original 2023 tour that featured Kirk Franklin, The Clark Sisters, David and Tamela Mann, Tye Tribbett , and Israel Houghton. On this new run that is equally nostalgic, Kirk Franklin and The Clark Sisters return with Fred Hammond, Marvin Sapp, and Yolanda Adams.  

SEE ALSO:  We Outside! Must-See Gospel Music Tours Kicking Off 2024

The news comes just a day after teasing that Maverick City Music and Kirk Franklin ’s groundbreaking Kingdom Tour would be making its way to Africa, Europe, and Asia. In 2022, the collective Kingdom Tour around their collaborative album Kingdom Book 1 set the highest attendance record for Christian/Gospel tours to date.  

But that’s not all.  

While Undivided Ent. is currently wrapping up the One Hallelujah Tour with Erica Campbell, Tasha Cobbs, Jonathan McReynolds, Israel Houghton, and Jekalyn Carr, earlier this Spring they announced the Girls Night Out Tour featuring Kierra Sheard-Kelly, Naomi Raine, Koryn Hawthorne and Wande kicking off this summer.

In March, Franklin, 53, recorded the first song for his 13th studio album “Father’s Day” with a film crew on hand to document the process.

One month later, Franklin learned who his real biological father was.

“He also saw it as an opportunity to reconnect with his estranged eldest son Kerrion, 35, whom he hadn’t seen in a decade,” People Magazine said.

These life-changing events inspired Franklin’s new album as well as this 35-minute YouTube documentary that tells the story in full:

If you can’t make it out to see Franklin on the road this year, here are five options that might work for you:

Kirk Franklin The Reunion Tour 2023

For Kirk Franklin , this year can be labeled as one divinely-orchestrated reunion beyond his wildest dreams and deepest prayers. The acclaimed producer-songwriter embarked on The Reunion Tour, alongside Tamela and David Mann , Israel Houghton , The Clark Sisters, Tye Tribbett , The Family, and God’s Property— just months after finding his biological father while filming his documentary, Father’s Day . So, to say his emotional strength and faith have been incomparably tested is an understatement.

Music Sermon: How Kirk Franklin Remixed Gospel Music

In the midst of this ebb and flow of unlearning and understanding, we spoke with Franklin about his testimony, The Reunion Tour, and had him give the ultimate benediction to this season of homecoming. 

VIBE: I just love how The Reunion Tour all came together, just like one great collaboration.

Kirk Franklin : Thank you, thank you. It was intentional, but I just don’t want to act like I was doing it in a silo because I wasn’t. I want to give credit to other people. [The lineup] was a joint collective decision. I had several variations of what [it] could be. And a lot of times it comes [down to] people’s schedules. So as we were just kind of ideating, this ended up being the lineup that seemed very attractive, very exciting. Because with this lineup as you can see, whatever kind of gospel you like, you get.

Seeing you on stage, you’re so vibrant, and your stamina is pristine. How do you maintain that energy throughout the night?

Lord, I don’t know. I’m just a little Energizer Bunny. That’s what I’ve always been. And I’m very grateful for that. I’m very grateful that however God wired me just seems to work. I’m really appreciative of it.

That’s all freestyle.

I’ve been freestyling. I’m just a mover.

Hmm, so on the Story of Fear , you said that you don’t sing. But I’m pretty sure you were hitting a couple notes during the tour. So what’s the truth? Do you sing or do you not sing?

(Laughs) I don’t know. Me no speak ingles. That was funny. I’m sorry, that was funny to me.

I had to ask, because I was like, I know I hear a couple notes coming out that microphone. Don’t play with me.

I ain’t denying that. You know? Ain’t denying that.

You’re hilarious. Would you say that you and God’s Property laid the foundation for acts like Maverick City Music and Sunday Service Collective?

I think that every person lays the foundation for the next person. It’s not unique because I was inspired by John P. Kee, and what he was doing. I was inspired by Thomas Whitfield. One of my great mentors once said that all of us are just links in this great chain. So if that’s the case, then one link can’t take credit for the strength of the entire chain. But then that link is also very important to the strength of the entire chain. I can’t take credit, but [I’m] also a very instrumental part. So the attention, the praise, the glory, I think for me, is always on the chain and not necessarily the links. It’s the greatness of the chain.

When you talk about the chain connecting, you brought back David and Tamela Mann who were in The Family. What was that reunion like?

David, Tam and I remained friends for years. God gave me “ Take Me To The King ” for her. She’s my sister, been my sister since I was 14, 15 years old.

I love that. Throughout this year, you also had this monumental reunion with your biological father as seen on Father’s Day . Then you had this tour. So do you equate reuniting to forgiveness?

Is there a scripture that fuels you? How are you getting through this season of complexity?

It could be a scripture that I run across. It could be a sermon that I hear. It could be something somebody says. I pull from different places and you try to make it part of your diet, just one day at a time.

With that, you said in your testimony during the show that you “win wounded.” What does that mean?

It just means that a lot of times people wait to get better before they finish, trying to get better before they move [on]. But a lot of times you cannot wait [for] this complete healing of hurt or pain to be able to maneuver in the next season of your life, or to be able to get up and try again, to love again, or to fight again. You’ve got to be able to do it sometimes with blood dripping down your arms. It’s that you can’t compartmentalize your process. It’s that sometimes your process is all-inclusive.

How do you go about putting a testimony like that into song? Does it all come from a personal place? Or pulling from outside elements?

I think it’s all of that, everything you said. It’s a blend of so many different things. I think that songs write themselves. As you keep living, and are going through different experiences, the songs come. God just gives us songs to those experiences. I believe that God is the ultimate songwriter. And he’s given me what I need when I need it, even when I don’t deserve it.

I love that. When creating your most recent album, Father’s Day , did finding your biological father help or hinder your relationship with God?

I think there’ve been moments of both. There is a duality to it all, that the God that gives is the same God that takes away. And so you find yourself in that dichotomy.

Oh man, I would say thank you to a God that looks past my mistakes, my failures, and incredibly and miraculously has given me what I do not deserve, to stand on this stage, even when I’m not the most qualified. It’s the greatest symbol of his unconditional love.

That’s perfect.

That felt kind of good, didn’t it?

That did. That was a benediction if I ever had to hear one. 

Girl, that had a little gravy on it.

Just a little bit. It was exactly what we needed.

“Franklin, a Texas native who sang in his church choir, signed his first recording contract when he was in his early 20s, after organizing the 17-member choir Kirk Franklin and the Family in 1992. The band’s first album topped the U.S. Gospel charts for 42 weeks and became the first gospel album ever to sell over a million units.”

“Franklin went solo in 2001, first scoring and producing the film soundtrack Kingdom Come. His solo debut album, 2002′s The Rebirth of Kirk Franklin, was an immediate crossover hit, topping Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart while also hitting No. 1 on the Gospel chart.

Kirk Franklin documentary

In March, Franklin, 53, recorded the first song for his 13th studio album “Father’s Day” with a film crew on hand to document the process.

One month later, Franklin learned who his real biological father was.

“He also saw it as an opportunity to reconnect with his estranged eldest son Kerrion, 35, whom he hadn’t seen in a decade,” People Magazine said.

These life-changing events inspired Franklin’s new album as well as this 35-minute YouTube documentary that tells the story in full:
