Boyband fans, its been quite the day for you! We revealed earlier today that Backstreet Boys have confirmed plans for a world tour, and now their fellow Americans New Kids on the Block have announced dates for their US tour (featuring 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men!!) - meaning some UK dates could very well be on the way soon.
New Kids on the Block made headlines earlier this month, after Perez Hilton talked about their plans for a new single, album, and tour. Now, they’ve announced that their brand new studio album ‘10’ will hit shelves on April 2nd in the US, and have lined-up a number of US tour dates to coincide. There’s also a new single - ‘Remix (I Like The)’ - out on January 28th.
News of the tour can be seen on Facebook (courtesy of Live Nation), and it kicks off on May 31st. It will see the group joined by 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men - you can check out the full tour dates below.
Live Nation wrote on Facebook: “Even though the New Year has just begun, New Kids on the Block fans already know they have a lot to look forward to in the coming months! As announced today on their total takeover of The View, NKOTB revealed plans of a 2013 summer headlining tour. Very special guests multi-platinum selling artists 98 Degrees and Grammy Award winning Boyz II Men, the best-selling R&B group of all time, will be opening for NKOTB on their tour, aptly titled THE PACKAGE TOUR.
“This is the first tour for 98 Degrees in over 12 years! NKOTB surprised The View audience with a special reveal of 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men, giving fans a taste of THE PACKAGE TOUR when all bands performed a capella, sending the audience into a frenzy.”
While no dates for a UK tour have emerged, a new album would most likely see them touring over here in Britain - so hopefully it’s just a matter of time before we get an announcement. Stay with Stereoboard to stay up-to-date on New Kids on the Block.
