From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Millennium Tour is a concert tour headlined by B2K. 2019 dates were promoted with B2K being headliner with Mario, Pretty Ricky, Lloyd, Bobby V, Ying Yang Twins and Chingy as an opening acts for different dates.[1] The tour became one of the year’s most successful new concert experiences grossing over $28 million.[2]

However, in 2020 new dates were announced and all members of B2K had been taken from the lineup except Omarion.[3] It was later announced that Omarion would be continuing The Millennium Tour without his bandmates and with Bow Wow as a new co-headliner. Other acts including Ashanti, Sammie and Soulja Boy being added to 2020 dates as opening acts.[4]

Zeus Network later announced a partnership with Omarion to release The Millennium Tour Live Concert featuring B2K.[5] The Millennium Tour Live was set to premiere on Sunday, April 12th 2020 at 8PM EST / 5PM PST exclusively on the Zeus Network.[6] However, in August 2020, controversy surrounding the documentary arose. It was reported that Omarion filed a lawsuit against the company accusing them of withholding unaired footage from the film.[7]

The group was nominated for Top R&B Tour at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards.

The tour was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic[8] and plans were set for continued performance dates in 2021 scheduled for October 1st.[9][10]
