NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today
New Kids On The Block, the multiplatinum selling pop
super-group, unveiled an epic lineup for their highly anticipated
2019 tour. NKOTB took to the Today Show plaza to
reveal The MixTape Tour with very special guests
Salt-N-Pepa, Tiffany, Debbie
Gibson and Naughty by Nature. The five iconic pop
and hip-hop acts will hit the road together for the first time
ever on a 53-city tour across North
America next summer.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning
Friday, October 12th at
Ticketmaster.com. American Express® Card Members can purchase
tickets before the general public beginning Tuesday, October 9th at 10am local time through Thursday, October 11th at 10pm local time.
To celebrate the event, NKOTB surprised fans by dropping an
epic, throwback track, "80s Baby" featuring their new touring
partners, Salt-N-Pepa, Naughty By Nature, Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. The track takes
listeners on a nostalgic yet refreshingly modern and fun ride
through 80s song references and fresh verses- just a small glimpse
into the party that will be The MixTape Tour. Stream the
song HERE.
With over 100 million combined records sold worldwide,
NKOTB, Salt-N-Pepa, Naughty by Nature, Tiffany and Debbie Gibson will fill arenas
with hit after hit when they take to the stage next summer.
Always upping the ante, NKOTB have packaged the ultimate
lineup for a once in a lifetime live show experience. The
group will return to the stage after 2018's touring hiatus to
perform fan favorite number one hits like "Hangin' Tough," "I'll Be
Loving You (Forever)," and "Step By Step." When tour mates
Salt-N-Pepa, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany
and Naughty by Nature hit the stage, they bring with them top chart
hits and legendary catalogues to keep fans out of their seats all
night. The tour is sure to be one of the can't miss events of
the summer featuring an unforgettable night full of smashes
spanning across generations.
NKOTB made the announcement on the heels of their SOLD OUT
Apollo Theater show celebrating the 30th anniversary of
their hit packed, breakout album Hangin' Tough.
The special one night only engagement sold out within minutes of
onsale and saw NKOTB gracing Harlem's famed Apollo stage for the
first time since they debuted "Please Don't Go Girl" at the
Apollo's notoriously tough amateur night. The career defining
album, Hangin' Tough produced hits like "Please Don't
Go Girl," "You Got It (The Right Stuff)", "I'll Be Loving You
(Forever)", and "Cover Girl." The crowd erupted when the band
confirmed on stage that Hangin' Tough will get a
special anniversary re-issue in early 2019 with new, never been
released music.
Produced by Live Nation, The MixTape Tour will embark on its
three month journey beginning May
2nd in Cincinnati,
OH and make stops in Nashville, Dallas, Los
Angeles, Atlanta and more,
before wrapping July 14th
in Hollywood, FL. See full
