New Kids on the Block Reunion Tour: 1980s Music With a New Sound

The former 1980s music boy band, New Kids on the Block, or NKOTB, has finally reunited with a new album “The Block” and is currently on an international reunion tour. Two hit singles, “Single” and “Summertime”, from the new album have already made it to the top of the Billboard charts. Many online sites offer cheap international tickets for young-at-heart New Kids fans looking to check out a concert.

The reunion concert tour will highlight the former New kids on the block songs as well as the new singles. During the late 1980s and early 1990s NKOTB was known for their over-the-top concert tours, and the new performances will be no exception. Dazzling choreographed dancing, costume changes and stunning set design are planned for the new tour. Old and new fans alike will need to scour the Internet for cheap international tickets, as many concerts are already sold out.

The five popular band members have aged and matured in the fifteen years since their last musical tour. The boy band members are now in their 30s and 40s. The new and updated New Kids on the Block have taken their old 1980s music styling to a new level with a fresh R&B sound. Popular R&B artist, Ne-Yo, Akon, Lady GaGa and the Pussycat Dolls appear on the new album giving “street cred” to the former wholesome boy band.

The still popular band members, Donnie Wahlberg, Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre and Danny Wood return to the musical stage with their 1980s music, voices and dance moves intact. Joey McIntyre became a popular contestant on the show, Dancing With the Stars in 2006, and brings his dancing talent to the band’s performances. Donnie Wahlberg and Joey McIntyre both forged successful acting careers during the time off.

Jordan Knight and Danny Wood continued to record a 1980s music genre with some success. Jonathan Knight, on the other hand spent the past decade working in real estate. Now that the five band members are reunited and once again on tour, they are appealing to their former fans, now middle aged, and a new generation of teens. The new song “Summertime” is now a popular teen ring tone. Perhaps a new line of New Kids on the Block lunchboxes or other nkotb merchandise is next on the horizon.

The New Kids on the Block reunion tour is scheduled to perform numerous concerts in the UK and Germany after its US tour. Girlicious, a new girl pop group, is the opening act for their performance. Many online booking agents have cheap international tickets available for the European concerts. The concerts are wowing fans with former musical hits such as, “Step by Step,” “Cover Girl,” “Tonight,” “I’ll be Loving You (Forever)” and “You Got it (The Right Stuff).”

Some hot New Kids albums:

  • Hangin’ Tough (1988)
  • The Block (2008)
  • Step By Step (1990)

The 1980s music sound of the New Kids still has the power to entertain and generate top Billboard singles. The album, The Block has already gone gold in Canada. With the music business experiencing a general decline in music sales, due to the cheap availability of online songs to download, the resurgence of the New Kids may be just what the music industry needs to spark excitement. The sales of New Kid’s cheap international tickets and CDs are just the beginning, for a band that once had licensed lunchboxes and a Saturday morning cartoon show.
