From a press release:

In case you missed it in Scranton with TLC back in June, the I Love The 90’s Tour, this time featuring Vanilla Ice, Salt-N-Pepa with Spinderella, Rob Base, Coolio, All-4-One, and Young MC, is coming to the Sands Bethlehem Event Center on Saturday, Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets, which are $49.50, go on sale this Friday, Sept. 22 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at sandseventcenter.com, the Event Center box office (77 Sands Blvd., Bethlehem), ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster outlets, or by phone at 800-745-3000.

Hailed by Entertainment Weekly as an, “arena-sized dance party” and described by The Arizona Republic as, “a hit-filled trip down memory lane,” the I Love the 90’s Tour was 2016’s most successful concert touring package with over 110 shows in 110 cities and more than 600,000 tickets sold, with a gross box office revenue of over $36 million dollars. Returning in 2017 is headliner Vanilla Ice, star of the DIY Network’s “Vanilla Ice Project” and fresh off his “Dancing with the Stars” appearance.

After selling out arenas across America, the I Love the 90’s Tour is also set to embark overseas, inviting Australian and New Zealand fans to join the nostalgia-filled party. With live sets from Vanilla Ice, Salt-N-Pepa, Color Me Badd, Coolio, Tone Loc, and Young MC, the now-international tour is set to be the year’s biggest party on dancefloors across Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Auckland, and Christchurch. November’s tour announcement set off a frenzy when thousands upon thousands of fans took to the web to buy tickets, shutting down ticketing sites and selling more than 20,000 tickets in just 48 hours.

The I Love the 90’s Tour is represented by Universal Attractions Agency. Jeff Allen and Jeff Epstein, co-creators of the I Love the 90’s Tour, are more than excited at the breakout success of the tour and are confident that audiences are ready for their next dose of 90’s nostalgia. As both say, “Our object was to capture the imagination of a generation, and the I Love the 90’s Tour is a phenomenon that has done just that.”
