TLC is expected to serve up its slew of Billboard Hot 100 hits from the ’90s and early aughts like “Creep,” “Waterfalls,” and “No Scrubs.”

Shaggy’s Hot 100 songs include “Bombastic/In the Summertime,” “Angel” and “It Wasn’t Me.”

Speaking with Billboard in a 2021 interview about the next generation of dancehall artists, Shaggy said: “I want the new generation to stream better than me because it boosts the genre and gives it a seat at the table.”  

Shaggy continued, “It gives us some sort of presence where corporate wants to f–k with us. It helps the culture with tourism. It’s a big part of our economy. When you beat me, that’s when we’re forced to be reckoned with.”

In an Instagram post announcing the tour, Shaggy wrote, “This summer’s gonna be hot!”

TLC, Shaggy, Kingston and En Vogue will perform at most of the stops on the tour, but fans should check each concert date’s complete schedule to ensure that their favorite act is on the bill.
