New Kids On The Block Announce Tour Dates
Newly reunited 90s boy band New Kids On The Block have announced the first set of concert dates for their upcoming world tour.
The first shows include stops in New York, Montreal, Toronto, Chicago and the group's hometown, Boston. Tickets will be available beginning May 10.
New Kids On The Block will make their first public performance in 15 years with an appearance on the "Today" show on May 16.
Producer Maurice Starr formed the group in Boston in the 1980s, hoping to recreate the success he had with another teen group from the city, New Edition.
At the height of their popularity, New Kids sold out world tours, marketed millions of dollars in merchandise and spawned a Saturday morning cartoon.
The group disbanded in 1994. Wahlberg has acted on television and in movies, while Jordan Knight, McIntyre and Wood released solo albums. Jonathan Knight became a real estate developer.
