Pop-music legends New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) are gearing up for a massive return in 2026, bringing their iconic sound and decades of hits back to fans around the world. As one of the defining boy bands of the late 1980s and early 1990s, the group — consisting of Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, and Danny Wood — has announced plans for an ambitious Global Tour in celebration of their enduring legacy.
Officially branded as part of their milestone 35-year celebration, the tour is set to span multiple continents, with confirmed dates across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Major cities such as Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Sydney, Toronto and Paris are on the schedule, with more stops expected to be revealed as the year approaches. Each show is expected to blend nostalgia with innovation, featuring NKOTB’s biggest hits alongside updated production, immersive visuals and special surprises for long-time Blockheads and new fans alike.
The excitement builds not just from international arenas but also from their extended Las Vegas residency, “The Right Stuff,” at Dolby Live at Park MGM, which has been expanded with dates throughout 2026 due to overwhelming demand. This residency features high-energy performance, fan favorites, and a celebration of NKOTB’s storied catalog that continues to resonate across generations.
Ticket sales have already begun in many markets, and VIP experiences — including meet-and-greets, backstage access, and exclusive merchandise — are expected to sell out quickly. The tour promises not just a concert series, but a global celebration of a group that helped define pop music and influenced countless artists since their debut.
The countdown to New Kids on the Block: Global Tour 2026 has begun, with Blockheads worldwide ready to relive the magic and make new memories.
