COLORS Worldwide

What COLORS Worldwide does

COLORS Worldwide is a privately held live events company headquartered in Los Angeles that produces touring concert experiences under the "R&B ONLY LIVE" brand, with an adjacent content vertical called "COLORS Comedy." The company organizes multi-city concert tours featuring R&B artists, routing through major U.S. cities (e.g., Denver, Tampa, Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles-area) and, as of 2025, extending internationally to the United Kingdom (Manchester, London, Newcastle, Birmingham) and Canada (Toronto). It also operates a sub-brand, COLORS Comedy, distributed via a YouTube playlist. Its primary product surface consists of the live event series plus the COLORS Events mobile application on iOS and Android, which provides event discovery and management functionality. The underlying technology stack is conventional: per-city landing pages (rnbonly.com), a mobile app, third-party payment processing through Stripe and PayPal (plus Apple/Google in-app payment rails), and Facebook Events as a top-of-funnel channel.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: (1) ticket sales for the touring concerts, distributed both directly via per-city rnbonly.com pages and through Ticketmaster for larger co-branded events such as the Broccoli City Presents show at Jiffy Lube Live in Washington D.C.; (2) merchandise sales through shop.colorsworldwide.com; and (3) revenue-sharing arrangements with venue partners including House of Blues and The Fillmore. Pricing is per-event variable, with general admission and premium ticket options offered on a pay-as-you-go basis. The customer base consists of individual R&B music fans and concert-goers (B2C), with no enterprise customer concentration disclosed. Marketing channels span Facebook Events, email newsletters, app store presence, and co-marketing with venue partners. The company is incorporated as COLORS WORLDWIDE INC. in California, with no public funding rounds, institutional investors, or SEC filings disclosed.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Roots N Blues N BBQ Festival: Roots N Blues is a long-running festival in Columbia, Missouri featuring R&B, blues, soul, and Americana. It is comparable to COLORS as a curated R&B-adjacent live music experience, but operates regionally in the US Midwest rather than as a national tour.

Broad incumbents

• ESSENCE Festival of Culture: ESSENCE Festival is a major annual Black culture and music festival in New Orleans featuring R&B, gospel, hip-hop, and empowerment programming. It serves the same demographic and cultural segment as COLORS but as an annual festival destination rather than a multi-city tour.
• Live Nation Entertainment: Live Nation Entertainment is the world's largest live entertainment company, operating concert promotion, venue ownership, and ticketing (Ticketmaster). It competes broadly with COLORS Worldwide's touring concert business but at vastly larger scale and across all music genres, not specialized to R&B.
• AEG Presents: AEG Presents is the second-largest concert promoter in the world, producing tours and operating major venues. Comparable to COLORS as a touring concert promoter but with broader genre coverage, owned venues, and significantly larger artist relationships.
• Live Nation Urban (LN Urban): Live Nation's urban music division curates hip-hop, R&B, and Afrobeats tours and events. It is the most direct urban-music specialized competitor to COLORS, leveraging Live Nation's scale and infrastructure to book R&B artists at premium venues.

Direct peers

• Broccoli City Festival: Broccoli City is a US-based urban lifestyle and music festival brand focused on R&B, hip-hop, and Black culture programming. It is a direct peer in both audience (urban music fans) and format (live music events), and has actually partnered with COLORS Worldwide for the 'Broccoli City Presents: Holding Hands An R&B Experience' event.
• Afro Nation: Afro Nation is the world's largest Afrobeats festival, operating in multiple countries (Nigeria, Ghana, Portugal, USA, UK). It is a direct peer in targeting the Afrobeats audience segment that COLORS explicitly mentions in its short description, and competes for the same diaspora live music dollars.
• Day N Vegas: Day N Vegas is a Las Vegas-based hip-hop and R&B music festival that has featured major urban music artists. It competes with COLORS for the urban/R&B live event audience, though with a festival format rather than a touring series.
• ONE Musicfest: ONE Musicfest is an annual two-day urban music festival held in Atlanta featuring R&B, hip-hop, soul, and Afrobeats. It is comparable to COLORS as a curator of R&B and Black music live experiences targeting the same cultural audience.
• Cinchy Entertainment (RnB Only Fridays): Cinchy Entertainment operates the 'RnB Only' party and event series (note: separate but similarly named to COLORS's 'R&B ONLY LIVE'). It is a direct peer in curating R&B-focused live experiences for fans in multiple US markets.
