New Kids on the Block are ready to spend the next year in a committed relationship with Las Vegas, ’til death 2026 do them part.
On Wednesday (Nov. 12), the veteran boy band — made up of Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood — headed to Las Vegas’ Little White Wedding Chapel to “recommit” to Sin City for 16 new dates of “The Right Stuff,” their debut Vegas residency, bringing their grand total of 2026 shows to 24. Clark County Commission chairman Tick Segerblom also gave NKOTB the keys to the Las Vegas Strip, so it sounds like they’re officially moving in to their new home of Dolby Live at Park MGM for the next year.
After kicking off the residency back in June, New Kids will have three more shows this week (Wednesday, Friday and Saturday) before returning for previously announced February concerts starting on Valentine’s Day and continuing with the brand-new dates in June, July and October.
“What we’ve built here in Vegas, together with our incredible Blockheads, feels truly magical,” Wahlberg said in a statement announcing the news. “The energy in that room each night — the lights, the lasers, flying up to the balcony to see all our Blockheads dancing and singing along — is so far beyond anything we’ve ever done before. Vegas has been so welcoming to us, we couldn’t leave just yet! We are having the absolute best time and are so excited and honored to be asked to extend our stay here at the Dolby through 2026.”
To get tickets to the newly announced shows, Fan Club pre-sale starts Monday at 10 a.m. PT, while Citi cardmembers will have access to pre-sale tickets starting Monday at noon PT through the Citi Entertainment program. Live Nation and Ticketmaster customers will have access to a pre-sale starting Tuesday at 10 a.m. PT, while members of MGM Rewards will receive access to a pre-sale starting Nov. 20 at 10 a.m. PT. All pre-sales end Nov. 20 at 10 p.m. PT before the on-sale begins Nov. 21 at 10 a.m. PT.
A limited number of tickets for all previously announced performances are on sale now as well.
In addition to Wednesday’s quickie Vegas wedding, “The Right Stuff” residency also includes a different set of marriage vows each night: between the band and their fans. “Do you, New Kids, take these Blockheads to be your forever fans, so long as we both shall live?” Wahlberg asked his bandmates during the residency’s June 20 debut, to which they all responded: “I do.”
“Do you, Blockheads, take these New Kids to be your forever boy band, forsaking all other boy bands — that means *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, O-Town, One Direction, all of them — so long as we both shall live?” Wahlberg cheekily asked the screaming crowd, who clearly had no trouble abandoning all those other groups to commit to New Kids on the Block once and for all.
