So the year 2000 Best Buy CD rack has come back to life in the form of a summer tour that features some of the hottest R&B and hip-hop acts of the early aughts.

Today, Amalie Arena announced that the “Millenium Tour 2020” is headed to downtown Tampa on May 1 with co-headliners Omarion (of B2K) and Bow Wow (fka Lil’ Bow Wow) in tow. Joining the nostalgia party are Ying Yang Twins, Lloyd, Pretty Ricky and Soulja Boy.

Also of note is the addition of now 32-year-old R&B and pop child star Sammie, whose innocent debut album, From the Bottom to the Top (released when the South Florida sensation was just 13 years old), kept a legion of middle schoolers from losing their virginity too soon.

Tickets go on sale Friday, December 6 at 10 a.m. EDT and will start at $45.50. More information is available via amaliearena.com.
