So when you aren’t out performing, you aren’t out engaging with them and interacting with them, you definitely feel like there’s something missing. But our fans have been so supportive, so loyal, that they have become part of who we are. You can sit in your basement like a hermit and write and record and do whatever. It’s that interaction that we’ve had with our fans for, you know, 25-plus years now that has made everything worthwhile, and that is ultimately why we still do it.

It’d be one thing just to go into the studio and record music and put it out and whatever happens, happens. LBT: What does it mean to see the fans and know that they still want to see you guys all these years later?ĭL: Honestly, that’s what it’s all about. But it’s been a minute since we were able to get on the road, probably 18 months or so since we’ve been performing. But yeah, we’ve been kind of back together and performing pretty consistently since 2013. LBT: When was the last time you did a headline tour like this?ĭL: We’ve done what we call the “weekend warrior model,” where we go out, we do weekends, and we’ve done that pretty consistently over the last several years minus that one little hiccup in there with that whole COVID thing that happened. We’re doing 15, 16 cities over a couple week period, just trying to get back out there, engage with our fans, and then all gearing up for a new music launch in 2024 and a bigger, longer tour in the spring. Lower Bucks Times: Tell me about this tour….it’s to celebrate the 25th anniversary of 98 Degrees?ĭrew Lachey: We’ve been trying to get this 25th anniversary tour on the books for a while now and we finally had a window of time where everybody was available, everybody’s calendars lined up and so, we’re hitting the road again. Ahead of the show, The Times caught up with Drew, who discussed the all-new tour, forthcoming music and whether or not they’ve adapted to new technology, such as TikTok. 20, at 8 p.m., 98 Degrees is making a stop at Parx Casino’s Xcite Center, 2999 Street Road in Bensalem, along with fellow boy band All-4-One.
