After a successful 2009 touring season, New Kids on the Block are back with a handful of late-spring concerts scattered throughout North America.
The Boston pop stars will begin the jaunt with a May 8 performance in Las Vegas, followed by shows in six cities, including two-night stands in Rama, Ontario (6/10-6/11), and New York City (6/18-6/19). The full itinerary is shown at right.
The second night at New York City's Radio City Music Hall was added after the first concert sold out within minutes of going on sale.
"We've let our fans dictate this whole ride," Donnie Wahlberg said in a recent press release. "They've been the ones to guide us through this whole journey. They want more, we'll give them more, and we'll enjoy every moment along the way."
NKOTB released "The Block," the band's first studio album in 15 years, in 2008. The set peaked at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Canadian Albums chart.
On Tuesday, the pop group released "Coming Home," a live DVD featuring 84 minutes of performances culled from the band's recent world tour, as well as behind-the-scenes footage and more.
As teenagers, the New Kids--Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood--sold more than 70 million records and racked up back-to-back No. 1 albums with 1988's "Hangin' Tough" and 1990's "Step by Step." Following a slew of R&B/pop crossover hits and several world tours, the group quietly disbanded in 1994.
