Las Vegas – The New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) have announced the launch of their highly anticipated residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, set to begin on November 1, 2025. The residency is part of a larger concert series that encompasses three legs and features a total of 24 shows, with the first leg kicking off in June 2025.
This new production promises an electrifying experience, showcasing a 30-song setlist filled with both classic hits and reimagined favorites. Fans can expect to hear notable tracks such as “Cover Girl,” “Step by Step,” “Hangin’ Tough,” and “I’ll Be Loving You Forever.” The innovative show will utilize modern stage production techniques to create a unique atmosphere, which aims to resonate with both long-time supporters and new audiences.
One of the standout features of the residency is its emphasis on groundbreaking performances, which will include a moving stage floor, aerial stunts, and five suspended platforms that will elevate band members above the audience. The design has been tailored specifically for Las Vegas, allowing the group to present elements not typically seen in a traditional concert tour. The band intends to integrate choreographed movements intricately throughout the show, highlighting their camaraderie and providing fans with continual interaction with the members across the auditorium.
Special Engagements for Fans
Alongside the performances, NKOTB is committed to creating memorable moments with fans during the residency. The band plans to enhance fan engagement through live interactions during the shows and offer exclusive afterparty experiences, further deepening the connection with their dedicated followers.
Enduring Legacy and Resurgence
NKOTB members include Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, and Danny Wood. Since their formation in 1984, the group has had a lasting impact on the pop music landscape, albeit with a brief hiatus of 14 years before their reunion in 2008. This resurgence in popularity can be attributed significantly to their passionate fan base, known affectionately as “Blockheads,” who continue to support their endeavors.
The residency at Park MGM is expected to attract a diverse crowd, including dedicated fans who have followed the band throughout their career and newcomers intrigued by NKOTB’s storied legacy. The combination of nostalgia for long-time fans and a fresh theatrical experience for those less familiar with the band holds great promise of drawing attendees from various demographics.
Ticket Information
Tickets for NKOTB’s residency are available through Ticketmaster, with special package options offered by MGM Resorts, ensuring fans can secure their place for this unique entertainment experience.
A New Era of Entertainment
This residency marks a significant moment in NKOTB’s journey and highlights their shift towards innovative, larger-than-life performance styles that are emblematic of Las Vegas entertainment. With their commitment to providing an exceptional show, the New Kids on the Block are poised to make a lasting impact with their November debut at Dolby Live.
