Omarion Cancels ‘Vbz on Vbz Tour’
Omarion’s headlining Vbz on Vbz Tour has been canceled, Rated R&B has learned. A reason for the cancellation was not disclosed when confirmed by a rep.
All Vbz on Vbz Tour dates listed under Omarion’s upcoming shows on Ticketmaster are marked as canceled. Additionally, all the tour dates on his official website are no longer listed.
The 20-city tour was scheduled to begin April 5 and included supporting guests Vedo, Tone Stith, Jastin Martin, and WanMor.
On March 15, Omarion sent a cryptic email to his mailing list: “I’ve heard your voices loud and clear, and I’m thrilled to announce that we’re bringing to life exactly what you’ve been asking for! Stay tuned—because trust me, it’s going to be an unforgettable vibe!”
He also shared the message on his Instagram account, captioning it, “Stay tuned, brb. Going live tonight.”
During the 13-minute Instagram live broadcast, Omarion told viewers, “I came here to let y’all know that I hear y’all and I listened. We’re taking a beat to give you what you want, so make sure you stay tuned.”
Omarion didn’t spend much time talking about the tour nor did he explicitly say that the dates were canceled. Instead, he focused on promoting his latest single “Taking Off” featuring BJRNCK, which was reissued as an EP with slowed, sped-up, instrumental and acapella versions.
Speaking of “Taking Off,” the bedroom jam debuted at No. 28 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart during the week of March 30. Since then, the song has climbed to No. 25.
“Taking Off” appears on Omarion’s latest album, Full Circle: Sonic Book Two, released in 2023.
Circling back to the tour, while it has been canceled, Omarion does have a couple of shows that fans can anticipate.
On July 27, he will perform at Morongo Casino Resort and Spa in Cabazon, California. Then, on Sept. 7, O will perform at the I Love RnB Festival in Los Angeles, California.
