After the global pandemic put live events on hold for over a year, The I Love the 90’s Tour is excited to return to the touring space. Several shows have been confirmed for this summer, a strong indication that the touring circuit is beginning to come back to life. “Dates are being added as we speak”, according to Jeff Allen, co-owner of Universal Attractions and co-creator of the tour. “When the phones started ringing again it was clear what the fans want coming out of the shutdown, and it’s the I Love the 90’s Tour.”
“Ice is back, and so is The I Love the 90’s Tour,” confirms the tour’s headliner, Vanilla Ice. “We’re gonna be hitting your town LIVE and IN PERSON this summer, so you better get in where you fit in and get back to the 90’s where the party never stopped!”
This is the latest edition of the blockbuster throwback tour which launched in 2016 and was “an instant hit” according to Rolling Stone. The tour has been highlighted on a myriad of other major media outlets over the years including a Today Show takeover 2 years in a row, Pitbull’s New Year’s Eve on Fox and Good Morning America. The concept also held a Las Vegas Residency, and over 300 tour dates, landing
it on the top grossing tours list ahead of some of today’s biggest acts, in 2016 according to Pollstar Magazine.
“Fans need this. It has been a hell of a time with everything that has been thrown at people in
- People need a good old party like they did in high school” says Jeff Epstein, co-owner of UAA and the other co-creator of the tour. “As a company we are excited to get back to work and book shows again, but more than anything we are thrilled to see how ready people are to get back out there and see shows like The I Love the 90’s Tour. No doubt this is a show that fans will be clamoring for as they dust off their Cross Colours. It’s 1995 all over again. Hard to believe the 90’s were a simpler time, isn’t it?”
