New Kids on the Block fans might have thought they knew what to expect of the boy band’s upcoming Las Vegas shows, but as Billboard can exclusively announce, the members are completely revamping their live show for their final 16 performances at Dolby Live at Park MGM.
On Friday (April 24) — which the group’s Boston hometown declared “NKOTB Day” back in 1989 — New Kids on the Block unveiled plans to change up everything about their The Right Stuff residency, from the setlist to the wardrobe and more. The Sin City stint first kicked off last year, with members Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood announcing in November that they’d return to Park MGM for an extra 24 dates this year.
With just 16 performances left to go on that run of additional dates — which began with a smattering of shows in February — the quintet is shaking things up. “We have the greatest fans ever, and this run of shows gives us one more chance to celebrate with them,” Wahlberg exclusively tells Billboard. “We want to make it as affordable, incredible, and magical as we can for them.”
Now dubbed “The Right Stuff Remixed,” the residency will feature all-new song selections, “enhanced fan experiences” and special surprises, according to a release. The band is promising a “scale of production and performance elements that cannot be replicated on tour,” the announcement also promises.
The revamped shows will take place June 19, 20, 24, 26 and 27; July 1, 3 and 4; and Oct. 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 14, 16 and 17. These dates are the only times fans will get to see NKOTB perform for the rest of 2026 and 2027.
Specially priced $30 tickets are now available via Live Nation through a fan presale running through April 28. The following day, the $30 ticket promotion will go on sale to the general public. (More info is available on the band’s website.)
NKOTB have been on a roll since 2008, when the band reunited after a 14-year hiatus. In 2024, they dropped their most recent album Still Kids, which reached No. 56 on the Billboard 200.
But the ultimate victory lap for the New Kids has been their Vegas spectacle. As Knight told Billboard in June last year ahead of the residency’s kick-off, “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.”
