New Kids on the Block made a big announcement this week. The boy band is going on tour next year, along with some iconic musical acts from the ’80s and ’90s. If you’re a fan of the group, prepare to buy your tickets soon.
The group is no stranger to talent shows, as Donnie Wahlberg recently appeared on The Masked Singer as The Cluedle-Doo — fooling even his wife Jenny McCarthy. Bandmate Joey McIntyre also came in third place in the first season of Dancing with the Stars.

What to Expect from NKOTB’s New Tour
New Kids on the Block embarked on their first Mixtape Tour in 2019 and they plan to make it even bigger in 2022.
“Just like a mixtape, these shows are going to take audiences through all the emotions,” Donnie Wahlberg said. “To be able to have Salt-N-Pepa come back and now also have the iconic and legendary Rick Astley and En Vogue join the tour… we could not be more excited. Let’s GO!”
