New Kids On The Block are the latest artists to take their show to Las Vegas.

The singers will embark on a residency in Sin City in 2025 with dates in the summer and the fall.

Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight will hit the stage on their The Right Stuff production from June 20-July 5 and November 1-15, 2025 at the Dolby Live at Park MGM. 

The guys – who toured with Paula Abdul this summer – announced the upcoming dates at a fan event to kick off the 2024 iHeartMusic Festival this weekend.

'We cherish every opportunity that we get to perform for our fans, but a Las Vegas residency gives us an opportunity to take our performance, and interaction with our fans, to the next level,' Donnie said in a statement via People.

The Las Vegas shows will be a separate production from their normal tour dates and designed specifically for the city and venue.

The band plans to 'immerse attendees in a heart pounding night of hits, spectacle, celebration and showmanship,' according to the release.

The band also hinted that afterparties featuring solo shows from some of the group members may be part of the residency. 

'We plan on maximizing everything that the amazing Dolby Live at Park MGM has to offer, to create the most incredible NKOTB concert ever,' Wahlberg said. 

'As well as everything that Las Vegas has to offer – to create multiple events to directly engage with our fans. Las Vegas will never be the same after the New Kids and the Blockheads take over the town.'

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, September 27 with a NKOTB fan club pre-sale starting on Tuesday, September 24.
