NKOTB Denver

That’s right, New Kids on the Block is coming to town – and you can see them! November 18, 2008. Tickets are presale right now, but they’ll be out to all soon at about $50 on up.

If you don’t know NKOTB – well I don’t know what to say to you if you don’t know NKOTB. But here’s a little refresher:

In the late Eighties and early Nineties, while still teenagers themselves, New Kids on the Block became a phenomenon, selling over 70 million albums – including the back-to-back international number one efforts, 1988’s Hangin’ Tough and 1990’s Step By Step — and a series of crossover smash R&B, pop hits like “You Got It (The Right Stuff),” “Cover Girl,” “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time),” “Hangin’ Tough,” “I’ll Be Loving You,” “Step By Step” and “Tonight” — as well as countless number of concert tickets, t-shirts and even lunchboxes to primarily female kids around the world. Then under the guidance of producer Maurice Starr who had previously brought the world New Edition, the New Kids made a tremendous impact on the culture very quickly.

“The Right Stuff” really is — at long last — returning to your block. Thankfully, this time, it’s all happening in the right way too.

New Kids On The Block — five now fully-grown men who forever defined what the modern boy band would look and sound like — are back together for the very first time in nearly a decade and a half, and currently hard at work on their first new album since 1994. That still untitled album should be released sometime this summer, preceded by the New Kid’s first new single since the Nineties, and followed in the fall by an already hotly anticipated international concert tour.

So, if you want to check out NKOTB’s “Right Stuff” or new stuff – or just check out Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood – grab tickets starting 6/9, Monday at 10 am while they last, and head up to Broomfield come November.
