B2K and Bow Wow are teaming up for one of the biggest nostalgia-fueled tours of 2026. Their Boys 4 Life Tour kicks off February 12 in Columbia, South Carolina and brings a stacked mix of early 2000s R&B and hip hop energy to 28 cities across the country. Along with the tour, both acts will drop new albums in February 2026 through BPC Music Group, turning the start of the year into a full celebration of the era they helped define.
For B2K, the moment carries the weight of a reunion that fans have been waiting years to see. Omarion, J Boog, Raz B and Lil Fizz are returning to large arenas together while marking 25 years since their debut. They are expected to revisit the hits that shaped their rise and introduce new music that continues their story. Omarion has said the group is stepping back into a creative space that feels like “completing it,” referencing the chemistry they built in their early days.
Bow Wow is also linking his tour performances to a new album that arrives the same month. He reaches his 25 year career milestone in 2026 and sees this tour as a way to reconnect with longtime fans and highlight how much of his music defined the early 2000s. His catalog still lands with audiences who grew up with him, and the new release is positioned as a return to form after several years away from dropping a full record.
The tour lineup adds even more firepower. Amerie, Jeremih, Pretty Ricky, Waka Flocka Flame, Crime Mob and Dem Franchize Boyz will appear on select dates. Fans can expect a mix of smooth R&B, club anthems and early 2000s staples that practically demand crowd participation.

The pairing of a full US arena run with new albums gives fans something they have not had in a long time from either artist. The timing feels intentional. It creates a moment where the nostalgia of the early 2000s meets brand new music meant to bridge the gap between generations.
It might even be the rare tour where people show up wearing outfits inspired by three completely different eras at once. If that happens, it would be perfectly on brand. After all, anyone who lived through the original B2K and Bow Wow years knows this: nothing brings people together like a throwback they can still rap word for word.
