'New Kids On The Block' Announce Tour With Paula Abdul & Boyz II Men In The Bay Area
By Hayden Wright
(RADIO.COM) – New Kids on the Block enjoyed a hard-earned renaissance when they toured with the Backstreet Boys in 2011. During that run they discovered that collaboration is the key to a successful nostalgia tour, so this summer they will travel the country with Paula Abdul and Boyz II Men. The trifecta of icons will bring your Senior Prom 1993 playlist to life on the Total Package Tour, kicking off in May 2017 following one preview performance on January 28, 2017 at the SAP Center in San Jose.
"Our fans know we love to bring them a party, and this tour is no exception," Donnie Wahlberg told Entertainment Tonight in a statement. "It's not just a show, it's an experience. Paula Abdul is such a pop icon and Boyz II Men are one of the best R&B acts of all time. It's going to be a night of hit after hit, and we can't wait to deliver the Total Package to our fans!"
In August, Abdul appeared with the unforgettable guy groups at the Mixtape Festival in Hershey, PA.
