New Kids on the Block (NKOTB), a boy band phenomenon in the late ’80s and early ’90s has announced a Las Vegas residency for 2025.<\/p>\n

In related news, a significant number of middle-aged ovaries just exploded.<\/p>\n

NKOTB’s residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, runs June 2 through July 5 and November 1-15, 2025. The residency will be called, “The Right Stuff,” because everything has to be political now.<\/p>\n

Here are the show dates for New Kids on the Block at Park MGM in 2025: June 20, 21, 25, 27, 28; July 2, 3, 5; Nov. 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 12, 14, 15.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t heard of New Kids on the Block, you may be a grandparent or Russian spy.<\/p>\n

According to a the news release, the group has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide, including back-to-back international number one songs, 1988’s “Hangin’ Tough” and 1990’s “Step By Step.”<\/p>\n

Other hits include “You Got It (The Right Stuff),” “Cover Girl,” “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time),” “I’ll Be Loving You,” “Let’s Try It Again,” “If You Go Away” and “Tonight.”<\/p>\n

New Kids on the Block was personally responsible for an estimated 26.4 million sexual awakenings in 1989. Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and Boyz II Men picked up the slack.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No announcement of a Las Vegas residency would be complete with someone in PR sliding in a gem like this, “The NKOTB are thrilled to stage their first ever residency at this state-of-the-art venue, promising a production fully unique to Las Vegas, and designed to immerse attendees in a heart pounding night of hits, spectacle, celebration and showmanship.”<\/p>\n

Hey, they didn’t say “immersive,” exactly.<\/p>\n

Today we learned die-hard New Kids on the Block fans are called “Blockheads.” We aren’t sure that word means what they think it means.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Unlike a lot of groups doing residencies in Las Vegas, New Kids on the Block has all its original members: Siblings Jonathan and Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood.<\/p>\n

The group’s live shows actually get positive reviews. The guys, now in their 50s, aren’t quite as peppy as they were in their heyday 30 years ago, but who is?<\/p>\n
