Bow Wow as Shad Moss (2008)
American rapper Bow Wow was slated to headline a series of concerts in the Fall of 2008. The tour was later canceled without explanation.
Keith Urban (2009)
Australian country singer Keith Urban headlined the concert series in 2009. Unlike previous outings, the tour was very limited, with only six tour dates--as Urban was preparing for his upcoming, "Escape Together World Tour". He serves as the first male performer for the concert series. Urban described the outing as:
"Clubs are where it all began. There's just something about the way the band grooves and how the audience gets right up there close and personal, and I love it. So for me there's a nostalgic cool factor in doing this with Verizon."
The tour was also recognized as the No Frills Tour
