‘I Love the 90s’ Tour features:

VANILLA ICE

Rapper, actor and reality star Vanilla Ice is one of the 90s most recognisable names, with his global crossover hit Ice Ice Baby crossing rap over to the mainstream. His platinum record To The Extreme is one of the highest selling rap albums of all time while his extracurricular activities have including ICP’s Juggalo Championship Wrestling, appearing in reality series ‘Surreal Life’, cameos in a dozen films and competing in this year’s US Dancing with the Stars. 

SALT N PEPA

The world’s most iconic female rap group Salt n Pepa have been delighting audiences for over three decades with hits including Let’s Talk About Sex, Push It, Shoop, Whattaman and many more. They became the first female rap artists to win a Grammy Award and their 1993 album Very Necessary remains the best-selling album from a female rap act. 

COLOR ME BADD

One of the first purveyors of the 90s new jack swing movement, Color Me Badd were one of the original boy bands, with their smash hit I Wanna Sex You Up delighting teenagers and concerning parents right across 1991. Their Follow-up hits I Adore Mi Amore and All 4 Love made the band one of the biggest vocal groups in the world as they topped the U.S charts and became fixtures in the Australian top 10.
