Last Saturday, Mike Tyson delighted his followers on Instagram with a personal message inviting them to an extraordinary occasion: Dionne Warwick’s performance on June 27 at the legendary Apollo Theater in New York. This concert is a significant event as it celebrates Warwick’s impressive 60-year career in music.
“Hello everyone, Mike Tyson here. Don’t miss out on June 27. Dionne Warwick at the Apollo Theater. Sixty years of music. It’s going to be amazing,” the boxing icon mentioned in a video clip. In his caption, he urged, “Join us for a historic evening with the incomparable @therealdionnew. I’ll be there, and you should be too! Grab your tickets!”
Tyson has generated a buzz across social media platforms and U.S. cultural spaces as a long-time admirer of Warwick. The upcoming concert promises to be a standout event for this year’s celebration of Black Music Month.
An unforgettable evening with Dionne Warwick
The pop and soul legend Dionne Warwick will grace the Apollo Theater stage in Harlem, accompanied by her sons Damon and David Elliott, marking their first performance together at this historic venue.
The festivities will kick off at 6:30 p.m., featuring a live show with her band. Warwick is set to deliver many of her classic songs, including “Walk on By,” “I Say a Little Prayer,” and “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?”
This concert is part of her Don’t Make Me Over tour—an homage to her vast musical influence and a unique opportunity to experience the timeless melodies that have resonated through generations. The last occasion where Tyson and Warwick performed together was in 1989 during a TV tribute to Sammy Davis Jr., enriching this reunion with nostalgia.
Dionne Warwick’s enduring influence
With six Grammy Awards, over 50 hits on the Billboard charts, and a prolific career spanning six decades, Dionne Warwick stands as one of the most significant figures in music history. In 2023, Billboard honored her as one of the top 100 artists of all time.
Tickets are now released for a memorable evening
The concert on June 27 will not only celebrate Warwick’s lasting influence, but also highlight the depth of African American music in a landmark location like the Apollo. With Mike Tyson endorsing the event, this night is set to be a can’t-miss occasion in New York City.
