The My2K Tour was the third headlining concert tour by American boy band 98°. Starting summer 2016, the tour will play nearly 40 shows, predominantly featured in the United States.[1] It is considered a "throwback" tour to create nostalgia for fans, with the tour title referencing the Y2K scare.[2] Fellow boy band O-Town were initially thought to be co-headliners for the tour, but are only advertised as special guests.

Critical reception

Nicholas Friedman of The Dallas Morning News called the performance in Dallas "exactly what it should have been". He wrote: "And even though I didn't have any of their posters on my walls, 98 Degrees was a joy to watch, not only because of the nostalgia, but because it gave the crowd a real glimpse into the past".[3]
