More than two decades after their final studio album, Destiny’s Child fans have reason to celebrate. The iconic girl group’s 30th anniversary is on the horizon, and according to Mathew Knowles, the milestone will be marked with new music and remixes of their classic hits to honor Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams‘ enduring legacy.
Destiny’s Child officially disbanded 20 years ago. Still, the trio (Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams) remain incredibly close and have performed together a handful of times over the years. Now, Mathew Knowles is teasing what the girl group has in store for their 30th anniversary.
Mathew, who managed Destiny’s Child, is teasing what fans can expect for the milestone celebration. He said the group has about 10 to 15 urban and dance mixes of their songs, as well as never-before-heard tracks that have been in a vault. “It’s time to share that,” he told TMZ.
In another interview, he teased that guest rappers will be featured, including Missy Elliott. As for when the songs will be released, Mathew said it can be expected “in the next 30 days.” “We have so much music that hadn’t been put out yet on Destiny’s Child,” he added.
A Destiny’s Child tour isn’t planned at the moment, but Beyoncé’s father isn’t ruling out a few performances here and there.
The Beginnings Of Destiny’s Child
In the early ’90s, Beyoncé and Rowland were part of the group Girl’s Tyme, together with four others: LaTavia Roberson, Támar Davis, and sisters Nikki and Nina Taylor. They joined “Star Search” in 1992, but lost the talent competition. Mathew took over the group’s management duties, and the sextet became a quartet.
LeToya Luckett was added to the group, which included Beyoncé, Rowland, and Roberson, and in 1996, they rebranded as Destiny’s Child. In the next few years, the group changed their lineup due to tensions with the management. The definitive trio was formed in 2000. Beyoncé and Rowland were the only two original members who remained, and Williams became the last addition.
The Girl Group Released Five Studio Albums
Destiny’s Child released five studio albums, dropping chart-topping hits, including “Say My Name,” “Bills, Bills, Bills,” “Survivor,” and “Independent Women Part I.”
In the course of their time together, they received 14 Grammy nominations and won three awards: Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group and Best R&B Song in 2001, both for the song “Say My Name,” and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group in 2002 for “Survivor.”
In 2006, Destiny’s Child received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “We started when we were 9 years old, and here we are getting a Hollywood star. Dreams do come true. So thank you all so much for supporting us,” Beyoncé said at the ceremony.
Destiny’s Child Disbanded To Pursue Individual Careers
The girl group was in the middle of the “Destiny Fulfilled… and Lovin’ It Tour” in 2005 when they announced that they were disbanding. At their performance in Spain that June, Destiny’s Child told the audience of 16,000 that they would be going their separate ways after the tour ended. The final concert took place in Canada that September.
In a statement, Destiny’s Child said, “After a lot of discussion and some deep soul searching, we realized that our current tour has given us the opportunity to leave Destiny’s Child on a high note, united in our friendship and filled with an overwhelming gratitude for our music, our fans, and each other.”
The Group Reunited At Beyoncé’s Tour
After Destiny’s Child disbanded, each member carved a successful solo career. Rowland scored chart-topping hits, won Grammy Awards, and hosted and judged reality competition shows. Williams found success in gospel music and Broadway, while Beyoncé became a record-breaking global superstar and one of the most influential artists of her generation.
The group has since reunited on stage a few times, including the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2013 and the Stellar Gospel Music Awards in 2015. Rowland and Williams also performed a medley with Beyoncé at her Coachella headlining set in 2018. Their most recent performance was in July 2025, at the finale of Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter Tour” in Las Vegas.
