LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, multiplatinum
selling pop super-group New Kids On The Block continues the
party like nobody else can with the announcement of The MixTape
Tour 2022, with their friends Salt-N-Pepa,
Rick Astley and En
Vogue as legendary special guests.
Produced by Live Nation, the four iconic acts will embark on The
MixTape Tour 2022 for its 50+ date journey beginning
May 10 in Cincinnati, OH and make stops in arenas in
Nashville, Dallas, Los
Angeles, Atlanta and more,
before wrapping July
23 in Washington,
DC. See full itinerary below. Tickets go on sale
Friday, October 8 at
Ticketmaster.com. For more information on VIP packages and NKOTB
fan club pre-sales, please visit www.nkotb.com.
In celebration of the tour announcement, the four iconic acts
will appear on The Kelly Clarkson Show today for
a "Kelly's New Kids on the Block Party" show takeover that
gives fans a sneak peek into what they can expect from the dynamic,
unbeatable live show, including a performance from NKOTB.
Watch a sneak peek of the appearance HERE.
"We had a blast out on the first MixTape Tour in 2019, and can't
wait to take it to another level with our fans on the MixTape
Tour 2022," Donnie
Wahlberg said. "Just like a mixtape, these shows are
going to take audiences through all the emotions. To be able to
have Salt-N-Pepa come back and now also have the iconic and
legendary Rick Astley &
En Vogue join the tour… we could not be more excited. Let's
GO!"
The MixTape Tour 2022 is already shaping up to be a can't
miss night out where fans can hear chart-topping hits and legendary
catalogues spanning generations all night long. It follows the
colossal commercial and critical success of NKOTB's 2019
tour by the same name – their biggest since reuniting in 2008 –
which grossed $53.2 million, sold
more than 650,000 tickets and pioneered a super-sized show each
night with multiple acts (Salt-N-Pepa, Tiffany, Naughty By Nature
and Debbie Gibson) hitting the stage
and reimagining what a special guest on a tour could look like.
NKOTB will hit the stage on the MixTape Tour 2022
to perform fan favorite #1 hits like "Hangin' Tough," "I'll Be
Loving You (Forever)," and "Step By Step" while tour mates
Salt-N-Pepa ("Push It," "Shoop," "Whatta Man"),
Rick Astley ("Never Gonna
Give You Up," "Together Forever") and En Vogue ("Don't Let
Go [Love]," "Free Your Mind," "Give It Up, Turn It Loose," "Hold
On") keep the party going with music that catapulted them to
stardom and solidified their places in music history.
NKOTB most recently returned to the stage for an
epic, one night only, sold out performance at Fenway
Park on August 6 in their beloved
hometown of Boston, MA. Watch a
recap HERE. The show marked their first performance in two years,
their third show at Fenway Park, and a preview of the explosive
live energy from the group that fans can expect from the MixTape
Tour 2022.
In 2021, Salt-N-Pepa received a Lifetime Achievement
Award. 2022 will kick up with Salt-N-Pepa dedicating their
Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
Over the past two years, Rick
Astley has amassed million YouTube followers with a
series of covers from his studio and become a major force on TikTok
with 1.7 million followers. "Never Gonna Give You Up" was recently
featured on the critically acclaimed series Ted Lasso on Apple TV+ and its video has
been viewed more than 1 billion times.
En Vogue celebrated the 30th anniversary
of their first album Born To Sing on April 3, 2020, when it was reissued on Rhino
Records, closed out the 2020 Billboard Music Awards with a
performance of "Free Your Mind," and launched their Funky
Divas podcast. In March, they appeared with
Salt-N-Pepa in Coming 2 America for a show-stopping
performance of their hit song "Whatta Man" that was aptly titled
"Whatta King" and was featured on the film's soundtrack. In 2018,
they released their album Electric Café, with a top 10
single ("Rocket"). Recent collaborations have included Snoop Dogg,
Raphael Saadiq and Chance the
Rapper.
