Ready for a huge dose of ’90s nostalgia?
Vanilla Ice, Salt-N-Pepa and Coolio, along with other popular ’90s staples, are joining the I Love the ’90s tour. The tour has already had several sold-out shows this spring. It will be kicked into full gear April 15 in Greenville, S.C., and will last through October.
The I Love the ’90s tour is part of the throwback trend of concerts in recent months, which includes the iHeart80s tour hosted by iHeartMedia in Los Angeles, featuring Billy Idol, Culture Club and Rick Springfield.
Cheryl “Salt” James told USA Today that the whole experience and the fan reactions have been “surprisingly amazing.”
“It feels like you’re taking people back to a time in their lives that they really enjoyed. It’s just one big ’90s party,” she said.
However, she says Salt-N-Pepa’s performance style has changed since they first started. It’s no longer about entertaining the crowd, but rather having a good time.
“We just have fun with the crowd and the crowd has fun with us,” James said.
