98° to kick off Christmas tour Nov. 1

If you like your holidays on the hotter side, 98° just put a present under your tree.

The R&B vocal group announced  a 36-date tour on Tuesday, a follow-up to last year’s hit-filled, high-energy holiday show. The tour will kick off on Thursday, Nov. 1 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and wraps up on Friday, Dec. 21 in Appleton, Wisconsin. Midwesterners can catch the group in action on Nov. 29 in Omaha, Nebraska, or the following night in Kansas City, Missouri. A full list of tour dates and on sale details can be found at www.98degrees.com

From 1997 to 2002, 98° sold 10 million records, scored a chart-topping single, “Thank God I Found You,” with Mariah Carey and Joe, and collaborated with their collective idol, Stevie Wonder, on “True to Your Heart,” for the 1998 animated Disney film, Mulan. Their four-million-selling album, 98° and Rising (1998, Motown), spawned the top 5 favorites “Because of You,” “I Do,” and “The Hardest Thing,” while 2000’s Revelation (Universal Records), which sold two million copies, peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and yielded a trio of hits, “Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche),” “My Everything” and “The Way You Want Me To.”

Last year’s Christmas tour was in support of their first full length Christmas album in 18 years, Let It Snow. The album featured the group’s signature R&B-tinged, four-part harmonies and was a follow up to their 1999 multi-platinum selling This Christmas. In addition to their tour, they also performed on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Disney’s Magic Holiday Celebration, Good Morning America, Today Show, Kelly & Ryan and more.
