Well, this is the ultimate ’90s throwback lineup. New Kids On The Block will tour with TLC and Nelly this summer, starting in Las Vegas on May 1. Tickets for the tour — called The Main Event — go on sale Jan. 31.
“Our fans keep asking us to come back out on the road, and we want to keep giving them what they want,” Donnie Wahlberg said when the boy band announced the news on “Good Morning America” on Tuesday. “We wanted to make sure it was something new and fresh and fun and totally worthwhile for all of our supporters year after year.” According to the guys, the sets will feature “bar seats” so fans can sit right on the stage and see their high school crushes sweat right into their beer.
TLC recently announced that they would use Kickstarter to fund their next and final album, and New Kids On the Block told Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas and Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins that they would donate $10,000 to the project. Scrubs, they are not.
