Miami rapper and businessman William Leonard Roberts II, who uses the moniker Rick Ross for his entertainment profile, has announced a national tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his album Port of Miami.
The Rick Ross Port of Miami 20th Anniversary Black-Tie Experience Orchestra Tour will kick off in Miami at the James L. Knight Center on May 29, hitting 17 cities before ending in Charlotte, N.C., on August 29. The concert will feature a symphony and Sainted Trap Choir, with their music playing as the backdrop to Ross’ music on stage.
“Port of Miami was the foundation of an empire, the blueprint to the biggest boss,” says Ross in a written statement. “Twenty years later, we aren’t just celebrating an album; we are elevating the
culture. Bringing this music to the stage with a full orchestra and choir in a black-tie setting is about cementing the legacy. It’s luxury, it’s historic, and it’s a milestone we are going to celebrate at the absolute highest level.”
Affectionately known as the “Bawse,” Ross took to social media to inform his fans and followers about the upcoming tour.
“20 years of Port of Miami.
Now performed with a full orchestra and choir.

The concert’s aesthetics will mirror a high-society gala rather than the typical concert hip-hop fans are accustomed to. To match the concert’s look and feel, fans are being asked to wear black-tie attire for the musical experience. However, with that suggestion, fans will have the opportunity, in their dressed-to-the-nines looks, to participate in Best Dressed of the Night by sharing their looks on social media using #POM20 as part of the celebration.
There will be featured premium seating, elite VIP packages with exclusive lounges, and high-end 20th-anniversary commemorative items available to concertgoers, while the venues will be selling exclusive luxury capsule merchandise.
