New Kids On The Block

New Kids On The Block have announced their first-ever Las Vegas residency kicking off next year – find all the details below.

The veteran boyband will be performing 16 shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM across summer and autumn next year as part of ‘The Right Stuff’ residency.

The run of shows will kick off June 20, 2025 and run through to November 15, 2025.

Pre-sale is due to go live this Tuesday (September 24) at 10am PDT, ahead of general sale on Friday (September 27) at 10am PDT. You’ll be able to purchase your tickets here.

“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,” shared Donnie Wahlberg in a press statement.

“We plan on maximizing 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.”

According to a press release, the 16 performances will “immerse attendees in a heart pounding night of hits, spectacle, celebration and showmanship”, and will be “jam-packed with their biggest hits and many surprises in store for their dedicated fans”.

The announcement comes after the band teased a Sin City residency during their headline set at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Vegas last weekend.

Following a fan event, the group led mobile billboard trucks down the Las Vegas strip, as reported by Rolling Stone, building up anticipation for fans.

Back in May of this year, the group released ‘Still Kids’, their first full-length record in 11 years.

Speaking to NME around the release, Wahlberg shared: “We always figured we’d do another album at some point. The fans – the Blockheads – would often ask, and we did a song a few years back with Rick Astley, Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue [2022’s ‘Bring Back the Time’] and it really inspired us to start writing again and that lit the spark to lead to a new album.”
