New Kids On The Block are giving their Las Vegas residency a remix.
The Hangin’ Tough hitmakers – which are comprised of Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood – kicked off their Right Stuff concert series last summer and they have now announced their final 16 performances at Dolby Live at Park MGM will be getting a complete overhaul.
The Right Stuff Remixed will feature new song selections, “enhanced fan experiences” and special surprises, amongst a “scale of production and performance elements that cannot be replicated on tour”.
Donnie told Billboard: “We have the greatest fans ever, and this run of shows gives us one more chance to celebrate with them.
“We want to make it as affordable, incredible, and magical as we can for them.”
The concerts – which will take place on 19, 20, 24, 26 and 27 June, 1, 3 and 4 July, and 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 14, 16 and 17 October – will be the group’s only live shows in 2026 and 2027.
Specially-priced $30 tickets are available now via a Live Nation presale, which runs until 28 April, and the following day, they go on general sale at the discount rate.
The group announced their residency in September 2024 and at the time, they spoke of how excited they were to have the opportunity to take their live show to the “next level”.
Donnie said at the time: “We cherish every opportunity that we get to perform for our fans, but a Las Vegas residency gives us an opportunity to take our performance, and interaction with our fans, to the next level …
“We plan on maximising everything that the amazing Dolby Live at Park MGM has to offer, to create the most incredible NKOTB concert ever.
“As well as everything that Las Vegas has to offer – to create multiple events to directly engage with our fans. Las Vegas will never be the same after the New Kids and the Blockheads take over the town.”
Jordan previously admitted his younger self would have thought the idea of performing in Las Vegas at this stage of his life “so corny”.
He told Billboard: “When you’re young, you think you’re really cool. And if somebody said, ‘You guys are going to be doing Vegas in your 50s,’ my thought probably back then would be like, ‘Oh no, no. That’s so corny.’ But us doing this right now, I feel like we’re being true to ourselves, really.
“I don’t think we’re selling out to commercialism or Vegas or whatever it may be. I think we’re just being really true to ourselves. Yes, we have some bells and whistles, but I think we’re just using it really tastefully.”
