Although it was not part of his tour, he definitely started off the year with a bang through his I Dare You concert with the theme 1 Ticket = 1 Life.

Before that, Shaggy themed up with RHONA FOX, INC. to donate toys to the Children's Unit of Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. The toys were sponsored by New York-based toy retailer Toy Wishes.
