Legendary boy band set for first ever Las Vegas residency in 40-year history
New Kids On The Block are the latest artists to bring their show to Las Vegas.
The singers will perform in Sin City in 2025, with concert dates in the summer and fall.
Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight will take to the stage with their The Right Stuff production at Dolby Live at Park MGM from June 20 through July 5 and November 1 through 15, 2025.
The boys – who toured with Paula Abdul this summer – announced the upcoming dates during a fan event kicking off the 2024 iHeartMusic Festival this weekend.
“We cherish every opportunity we get to perform for our fans, but a Las Vegas residency gives us the chance to take our performance and interaction with our fans to the next level,” Donnie said in a statement via People.

NKOTB made a big splash announcing their event. They arrived in a double-decker bus, leading a caravan of mobile billboards advertising the event.
The Las Vegas shows are produced separately from the regular tours and designed specifically for this city and location.
According to the press release, the band wants to ‘immerse those present in a thrilling evening full of hits, spectacle, partying and showmanship’.
The band also hinted that afterparties featuring solo performances from some of the band members would be part of the residency.
“We want to leverage everything the incredible Dolby Live at Park MGM has to offer to create the most incredible NKOTB concert ever,” said Wahlberg.
“In addition to everything Las Vegas has to offer – to create multiple events to connect directly with our fans. Las Vegas will never be the same after the New Kids and the Blockheads take over the city.”
Ticket sales for the general public start on Friday 27 September. Pre-sale for the NKOTB fan club starts on Tuesday 24 September.

The announcement comes just weeks after the band wrapped up their Magic Summer tour with Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff, which saw them celebrate the spirit of the ’90s.
The summer tour was NKOTB’s first in ten years and was in promotion of their eighth studio album, Still Kids, which they released in May.
In a statement, Donnie said, “Our fans know we love to party for them, and this tour is no exception.
The 54-year-old singer, whose younger brother Mark Wahlberg was also briefly in the group, added: “It’s not just a show, it’s an experience.”
