From Teen Sensations to Pop Icons
Formed in Boston in the early 1980s by producer Maurice Starr, New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) became one of the first modern boy bands to achieve global superstardom. Comprised of Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood, Jonathan Knight, and Jordan Knight, the group skyrocketed to fame with their breakout 1988 album Hangin’ Tough, which featured hits like “Please Don’t Go Girl,” “You Got It (The Right Stuff),” and “I’ll Be Loving You (Forever).” Their infectious blend of pop, R&B, and slick choreography quickly made them teen idols, selling out arenas and topping charts around the world. At the height of their fame, NKOTB merchandise—from lunchboxes to dolls—was everywhere, and their fan club was one of the largest in the world.
Longevity, Legacy, and a Triumphant Return
Although the group disbanded in 1994 as musical tastes shifted, they reunited in 2008 with the album The Block, proving their appeal had stood the test of time. Since then, NKOTB have continued to tour and record new music, often teaming up with other iconic acts from the ’80s and ’90s. Their “Mixtape Tour” series brought together artists like Salt-N-Pepa, TLC, and En Vogue, blending nostalgia with high-energy performance. The group has remained close to their fan base—many of whom have followed them since the beginning—and embraced new generations through social media and live events. With over 80 million records sold worldwide and a reputation as pioneers of the modern boy band movement, NKOTB’s legacy is undeniable—and their Las Vegas residency is the next exciting chapter.
What Fans Can Expect from “The Right Stuff”
With The Right Stuff residency, New Kids on the Block are promising more than just a greatest-hits set—they’re curating a full-scale Vegas experience that celebrates their legacy while pushing their performance to new creative heights. The band is working closely with top choreographers, designers, and producers to build a visually stunning and emotionally resonant show tailored specifically for Dolby Live, one of Las Vegas’s premier venues known for its cutting-edge sound and immersive production capabilities. From reimagined versions of fan-favorite tracks to surprise guest appearances and exclusive moments unique to the residency, fans can expect a high-energy, memory-making event that’s as much a party as it is a performance.
Speaking about the residency, the band shared their enthusiasm:
“Las Vegas has always been a special place for us, and now we finally get to make it our home with this residency. We’re planning a show that’s going to be unlike anything we’ve done before—a celebration for our fans that brings the magic of NKOTB to a whole new level.”
