Day26 is making a Sacramento stop. The R&B group that first grabbed national attention on MTV’s Making the Band 4 under Diddy’s Bad Boy Records plays Harlow’s in Midtown on Friday, November 13, 2026. It’s a 21+ show with doors at 8 pm.
For fans who grew up on 2000s R&B, this is a rare chance to see one of that era’s tightest vocal groups in a room that actually fits them — Harlow’s capacity is a few hundred people, not an arena. That intimacy is the whole point.
Who Day26 Is
Day26 formed in 2007 when Diddy chose them as winners of Making the Band 4, his MTV reality series that built bands from scratch in front of a national audience. The group — Willie Taylor, Robert Curry (Q), Michael McCluney (Que), Brian Andrews, and Marc Nelson — launched on Bad Boy Records and quickly established themselves as genuine R&B artists rather than reality TV footnotes.
Their self-titled 2008 debut produced the Billboard hit “Got Me Going,” and they followed with “Since You’ve Been Gone” and “Imma Put It On Her” over the next two albums. The production had the warm, full sound that defined late-2000s mainstream R&B — heavy on harmonies, professional without being over-processed.
The group has gone through some lineup shifts over the years, as most long-running acts do, but they’ve continued touring and recording. Fans who saw them during the Making the Band era tend to be loyal, and the live show leans into exactly the catalog those fans want to hear.
What the Show Will Be Like
Harlow’s is one of Sacramento’s most established independent venues, which means the production will be solid — proper sound, reasonable sightlines, and the kind of crowd that’s actually there for the music. The Starlet Room upstairs handles the smaller acts; the main floor is where Day26 will perform.
At 9 pm showtime and a 21+ door policy, this is an adults-only evening rather than a family affair. Midtown parking around J Street can get competitive on weekend nights, so arriving closer to the 8 pm door is better than waiting until showtime.
For Sacramento’s R&B crowd, November doesn’t have a ton of options at this level in this intimate of a setting. If you want to see a larger-scale hip-hop and R&B event, there’s the Welcome to the West show at Golden 1 Center in December. But for an actual band show with harmonies front and center, this is the one to catch in November.
