The New Kids spent last summer travelling around with the Backstreet Boys on the NKOTBSB tour and now, they’re back at it again. While BSB won’t be joining the 80s boy band this time around, they’ve amped up the excitement factor by bringing back not just one band from that time so long ago, but two! This time, both 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men will be joining Donnie, Jordan, Joe, Jonathan, and Danny on one of the biggest tours this summer.
The tour is appropriately being called “The Package,” and Boyz II Men and 98 Degrees will be coming along as the supporting acts. The tour begins on May 31 in Uncasville, Connecticut. From there the Kids and their crew will travel around to some of the biggest cities in North America including Boston, the hometown of each of the New Kids; Pittsburgh; Washington, DC; Orlando; Los Angeles; Dallas; and San Jose. With a total of 28 dates in all, the tour will wrap on July 13 in Minneapolis at the Target Center.

Few bands can come back from a 15-year hiatus and still be welcomed so eagerly by their fans. The New Kids have done just that and in fact, they say that the time off was actually for their young fans.
“They needed time to have families and husbands and children and get jobs and live their lives,” Donnie Wahlberg said in a statement. “We created an outlet for them to feel good about themselves and tap into that youthfulness that had been put to bed for a long time. You may be 40, but the euphoria of it makes you feel 14 again.”
The band will undoubtedly play some of their biggest hits that fans can still sing along to, including The Right Stuff and Hangin’ Tough, but they’ll be bringing new tracks along with them from their album 10, which will be released in April of this year.
