The Millennium Tour Brings Y2K Nostalgia to Houston
The 2025 Millennium Tour, produced by the Black Promoters Collective, landed in Houston like a time capsule bursting with bling, baggy jeans, and bedazzled memories. It delivered a full-speed ride back to the early 2000s, uniting an all-star lineup of hip-hop and R&B icons. The roster read like a 2000s mixtape—Trey Songz, Omarion, Bow Wow, Plies, Boosie Badazz, Ying Yang Twins, RSVP (Ray J, Sammie, Bobby V, and Pleasure P), Nivea, and a surprise appearance by Rick Ross. This wasn’t just a concert—it was a full-blown cultural revival.
Nivea set the tone for the night as the sole female R&B act on the lineup, effortlessly drawing the audience in with her signature vocals. She was the perfect opener, reminding everyone why she was a mainstay in the early 2000s. Her vocals were just as powerful as ever, proving that her music still resonates deeply today.
Next, the Ying Yang Twins kept the party energy high with their anthems like Get Low, Wait, and Salt Shaker, getting the crowd hyped and even tossing beads into the audience, creating a true Mardi Gras vibe. The energy was infectious, and the crowd couldn’t help but bounce along to the beats.
RSVP followed, and their chemistry was undeniable. Ray J proved himself as a true entertainer, delivering a dynamic performance that included him stepping into the crowd to sing One Wish, creating an intimate moment with fans. His comedic personality also shined through, keeping the audience engaged between songs. Bobby V added a touch of class with a piano performance. He even performed Slow Downand Pimpin’ All Over the World while handing out roses to fans for a romantic flair. Sammie kept things cool and charismatic, and also brought fans back to the golden days of early 2000s R&B with his performance of Kiss Me Thru the Phone, while Pleasure P turned up the heat, performing hits like Upand Boyfriend #2, inviting lucky ladies from the crowd to join him onstage to dance with him.
When Boosie Badazz hit the stage, the energy reached another level. The crowd rapped along to every word of Set It Off and Wipe Me Down, and Boosie’s raw energy had everyone hyped. Rick Ross followed, bringing his signature boss energy and larger-than-life presence. With crowd-pleasing hits like Hustlin’, Aston Martin Music, and Diced Pineapples, Ross commanded the stage and had fans roaring with excitement. His deep voice and unshakable confidence set the tone for the rest of the night, leaving the crowd hanging on every word
Plies brought even more heat, running onto the stage with his signature infectious energy, delivering hits like Rock, Wasted, Shawty, and Bust It Baby Pt. 2. But the real highlight of his set came when he serenaded the crowd with a heartfelt cover of Keyshia Cole’s Love. He was having so much fun that he didn’t want to leave the stage.
Bow Wow was a firecracker from start to finish, with explosive energy that kept everyone engaged. His natural stage presence had the crowd eating up every moment, as he ran through his catalog of hits, including Shortie Like Mine, Let Me Hold You, Like You, Fresh Az I’m Iz, I Think They Like Me, and his early hit Take Ya Home. Midway through, Bow Wow surprised the crowd with a Houston tribute, bringing out local legends Kirko Bangz, Paul Wall, and Trae Tha Truth to show love to the city.
Omarion, one of the tour’s co-headliners, brought smooth choreography and vocal precision. He began his set on an elevated platform, blending synchronized dance breaks with impeccable vocals. His stage presence was magnetic, and his performance proved that his star power remains undeniable. He kept the crowd on their toes, bringing props and energy to make his set one to remember.
And finally, Trey Songz closed the night in true R&B fashion. His set was all about crowd control—seductive, charismatic, and packed with fan-favorite hits like Bottoms Up, Say Aah, Heart Attack, and NaNa. The moment he ripped off his shirt and tossed it into the crowd, chaos erupted. Trey knew exactly how to leave fans wanting more.
The Millennium Tour in Houston wasn’t just a night of throwbacks—it was a reminder of the cultural imprint this era left behind. From the crowd dancing in the aisles to the artists delivering hit after hit with the same passion that made them icons, every moment felt alive and intentional. Those who came of age during this time weren’t just watching—they were reliving it. Thanks to the Black Promoters Collective, the night captured the spirit of a generation and proved that the magic of the 2000s still holds power today.
