Donnie Wahlberg and the rest of the New Kids on the Block had quite the announcement for the boy band’s fans on ‘Good Morning America’ today.
The local celeb and sometimes-‘Wahlbergers’ star revealed that the band, along with TLC and Nelly, would be launching their collaborative ‘Main Event’ tour on May 1 in Las Vegas. Basically, it’s a smorgasbord tour of nostalgia for everyone who grew up listening to boy bands, hip hop and rap over the last few decades.
The rest of the New Kids, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood will join Wahlberger on the summer tour (what could this mean for McIntyre’s CBS sitcom ‘The McCarthys,’ we wonder?). On ‘GMA’ this morning, Wahlberg said:
There is no stopping us. We always have something up our sleeves. Our fans keep asking us to come back out on the road, and we want to keep giving them what they want.
Thank you, New Kids, for giving the people what they want. Of course, the tour will make a stop in Wahlberg’s hometown. New Kids, TLC and Nelly will all hit the TD Garden on June 24, near the end of the three-month tour. Tickets will go on sale on January 31 on Ticketmaster.
Check out the full list of the 47 tour dates below, but first, listen: People posted this exclusive and somewhat ridiculous and also overwhelming mashup of what this crazy collab might sound like if all three forces join the stage at once. It’s bound to happen at some point, right?
