THE RIGHT STUFF Afterparty Experience hosted by Donnie Wahlberg also kicked off this weekend at On The Record Speakeasy and Club. Fans keep the party going post-show on select Saturday nights with special guest DJs KayGee & Vin (of Naughty by Nature) feat. Illtownsluggaz (June 21 & July 5) and DJ D-NICE (on June 28). Tickets to the Afterparty Experience are sold separately.

New Kids On The Block have sold more than 80 million albums worldwide -- including back-to-back international #1 songs, 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.” The group which started with humble Boston beginnings grew to shatter concert box office records playing an estimated 200 concerts a year, in sold out stadiums throughout the world.

Since reuniting in 2007, NKOTB have toured consistently to sold out arenas, have sold nearly 4 million tickets and have doubled their crowd sizes. The Boston natives have been bestowed with their very own, “New Kids on the Block Day,” an honor not many can claim, and have played Fenway three times before. The group solidified their place in Hollywood with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame since reuniting and will continue representing Boston on their journey long into the future. Their first full-length studio album in 11 years, Still Kids, was released last year to praise from fans and critics alike. Their highly anticipated debut Las Vegas residency, THE RIGHT STUFF, will take place on select dates from June 20 – July 5, 2025, November 1 – November 15, 2025 & February 14 – February 28, 2026 at Dolby Live at Park MGM.
