The announcement video begins with the singer stepping out of a car while what appears to be reggae-infused gospel music plays out of its speakers. The singer then walks into a warehouse space, where Marvin Sapp, Yolanda Adams, The Clarke Sisters, and Fred Hammond walk in slow, dramatic poise, with Franklin attempting to groove to the music, only to collapse comically.

The others respond to his collapse, starting with Marvin Sapp:

"Marvin Sapp: Man, you are forever doing some foolish things. Fred Hammond: Its the shoes. Marvin Sapp: It is the shoes.. I'm out. Fred Hammond: See if you did this to (inaudible), we woudn't be doing it. One of the Clarke Sisters: Hey sisters!, Listen to me. we don't want no lawsuit. Let's go."

The announcement video then fades to the singers, including Franklin, dancing dramatically while the cities where the tour will be performed scroll up on the screen.

The tour is set to feature performances in cities such as Atlanta, Boston, and Brooklyn. Tickets, venues, and other details will be announced soon, and patrons must text REUNION at +1 (404) 948-5620 for further details.
