You’re Invited to The Velvet Rope Experience ✨

NMAAM is pulling back the velvet rope for something a little more intimate.

Before Ari Lennox takes the stage for the Vacancy Tour, step into a vibe curated for real lovers of soul. This is your exclusive pre-concert moment—where warm grooves, rich energy, and effortless Black luxury set the tone for the night ahead.

Sip on signature cocktails, indulge in a shea butter bar that keeps you glowing, and enjoy light bites in an intimate, feel-good atmosphere inspired by Ari’s sound—soft, sultry, and unapologetically soulful.

This intimate mixer sets the perfect tone before the show, offering music lovers, culture‑builders, and concert‑goers a chance to connect, explore, and soak in the sounds that shaped Ari’s artistry.

This isn't just a pre-show. It's a love letter to R&B celebrating Ari Lennox. 

What's waiting for you:
Signature cocktails · Shea Butter Bar · Light Bites · Curated Vibes · Exclusive Access

For Velvet Rope Pass holders only. Space is limited. Arrive early. Leave glowing.
