Organizers of the Scream Tour 2012 have announced they are expanding the brand, by combining Hip-Hop, R&B and dance.

This year's tour will feature some of America's top dance crews, in addition to an A-list lineup of Hip-Hop and R&B acts.

Rapper Diggy Simmons will headline the Scream Tour 2012, which will also feature the OMG Girlz, which features the daughters of Lil Wayne and T.I.

Other acts on the bill include Jawan Harris, Torion and TK-N-Ca$h.

The dance crews that are featured on the Scream Tour 2012 include Jungle Boogie, and Collizion Crew.

The tour is also holding auditions for upcoming dancers to be featured on future dates.

The Scream Tour 2012 is presented by Michael Mauldin, who is also the father of Hip-Hop mogul Jermaine Dupri.

"After eleven years of bringing the Scream Tour to our Nation's youth, it was important for me to continue to give young people what they want and long to see when they go out, " said Michael Mauldin, Founder and Creator of the Scream Tour. "We are not deviating from the true essence, feel and look of the Scream Tour, we are expanding on it and making it bigger and better than ever. Young people these days do it all. From rapping to singing to dancing, it's all an intricate part of their culture.

We wanted to give young people from across the country the best of everything that has become a part of their life and lifestyle, just within a concert and teen dance party setting."

The Scream Tour 2012 is slated to kick off on Thursday, August 16, in Richmond, Virginia.
