Fans can expect to sing along to hits including 98 Degree’s “I Do (Cherish You)”, Ryan Cabrera’s “On the Way Down”, Dream’s “He Loves U Not” and O-Town’s “All or Nothing” for a fun-filled night out with the who’s who of pop music superstars that dominated MTV’s airwaves and celebrate the cultural touchstones of the Y2K era. Whether swaying to heartfelt ballads – lighter in hand – or getting down to bubblegum pop, the show promises a night of music any pop enthusiast won’t be able to resist.
The tour is headlined by Grammy-nominated 98 Degrees – who have sold more than 10 million records worldwide and achieved eight top 40 singles. Ryan Cabrera is a platinum-selling pop singer who released a top 10 solo debut ‘Take It All Away’ in 2004 and has continued to top charts, including the release of the single “House on Fire” in 2015 which hit #1 on Billboard Dance Chart. Girl group Dream dropped their own platinum debut album ‘All A Dream’, supported by an early signing to Bad Boy Records and backed by Sean Combs himself. O-Town rose to success with the release of their #1 singles “Liquid Dreams” and “All or Nothing”, and went platinum with the release of their self-titled debut album.

About 98 Degrees
Pegged as one of the original boy bands of the late 1990’s and known for their authentic vocal harmonizing, Grammy-nominated 98 Degrees were never just an ordinary pop group. Unlike most boy bands of the time, the group formed independently before later being signed to Motown Records, who released the group’s debut album 98° in 1997.
In 1998, the band released their breakthrough album 98° and Rising through Universal Records. The album went 4X platinum and yielded the hit singles “Because of You,” “I Do” and “The Hardest Thing.” The group’s success continued to flourish through the late 90’s and in 2000 Mariah Carey released “Thank God I Found You” featuring 98 Degrees and Joe. The single shot to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the group received a Grammy nomination for “Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.”
Later that year, the band released their fourth studio album Revelation which produced the #2 Billboard Hot 100 hit “Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche).” Revelation peaked at #2 on Billboard’s Top 200 Chart and went on to become 2X platinum. By 2002, the band had sold a staggering 10 million albums and the release of The Collection, a compilation spanning the group’s impressive five-year career, helped solidify their place as one of music’s most influential pop bands.
In June of 2012, brothers Nick and Drew Lachey announced 98 Degrees’ official reunion on On Air with Ryan Seacrest. 98 Degrees is Nick Lachey, Drew Lachey, Justin Jeffre and Jeff Timmons.
About Ryan Cabrera
The platinum-selling singer and songwriter is the architect behind ubiquitous smashes such as “On the Way Down,” “True” and “Shine On” as well as albums including 2004’s Take It All Away, which hit #8 on the Billboard Top 200, You Stand Watching [2005], and The Moon Underwater [2008]. In 2015, he released the EP Wake Up Beautiful (Dynamite Music / Caroline / Capitol) with producer Justin Gray [Mariah Carey, John Legend, Amy Winehouse]. The first single released, “House On Fire,” fans and media have raved about; People Magazine wrote “Cabrera delivers his catchiest hooks” since “On The Way Down” and Perez Hilton proclaimed it “the best song Cabrera has ever released.” “House on Fire” was also a #1 Billboard Dance Chart song and regular on numerous Spotify playlists during the summer of 2015.
Ryan has also spent meaningful time at hospitals around the country, brightening up the day for countless sick children and young adults. Inspired from this, Ryan also took the opportunity to launch a live music series entitled Live From Ryan’s Living Room. Since he started this less than 2 years ago, he has raised over $50,000.00 for various charities.
In 2016, Ryan has been writing for numerous other artists and started the project “Beyond The Sky” which features collaborations with Nash Overstreet, TyDi and more. Look for the first single from this project summer of 2016.
About Dream
Melissa Schuman, Ashley Poole, Diana Ortiz & Holly Restani (formerly Holly Arnstein) are making their comeback as the popular girl group, DREAM, since their disbandment in 2003. DREAM is the multi-platinum girl group best known for their hit single “He Loves U Not” which charted #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 17 in the UK Singles Chart in the early 2000s. Their music video for their following single “This Is Me”, hit #1 on MTV’s TRL, forcing MTV to retire their video and become the first girl group retired from TRL’s video playlist.
DREAM represents a generation of both men and women who grew up during arguably the best time in “pop music” culture. Loved for their down to earth nature, authenticity, killer harmonies and vocals, DREAM is now returning with an even stronger message with this tour and new music.
While they are currently in the recording studio preparing for their follow up LP, life-long fans and new fans alike can expect content focusing on empowerment, individuality and honesty. DREAM will be the only all woman group performing beside their counterparts 98 degrees, O-Town and Ryan Cabrera. DREAM is back and ready to be seen, be heard and ready to re-ignite a generation of pop music lovers.
About O-Town
O-TOWN In 1999, ABC began airing one of the first reality shows in major network history, “Making the Band”, which chronicled the formation and rise to success of the boy band, O-Town. The public tuned in to watch as Trevor Penick, Jacob Underwood, Erik-Michael Estrada, Ashley Parker Angel, & Dan Miller signed with Clive Davis’ J Records, released the #1 singles “Liquid Dreams”and “All or Nothing”, and achieved platinum success with their debut album. Despite their success, the band broke up in 2004 both to escape an unfair record contract and to pursue individual endeavors. After a crash course in the entertainment industry in their early twenties, the guys have enjoyed branching off into different facets of the entertainment business. Their first experience left them with a desire to become more educated, seeing first-hand how incredibly complicated (and sometimes corrupt) the industry can be. And now, after 10 years apart, Trevor, Jacob, Erik, and Dan are reuniting as friends with a renewed passion for making music together again. “This one’s for the fans and everyone who supported us from the beginning.”
