New Kids On The Block are heading to Las Vegas! The iconic boyband just announced their first-ever residency, The Right Stuff, set to take over Dolby Live at Park MGM starting next summer. The residency will feature 16 shows, running from June 20 to November 15, 2025, offering fans an extended opportunity to experience their high-energy performances.
“We cherish every opportunity that we get to perform for our fans, but a Las Vegas residency gives us an opportunity to take our performance, and interaction with our fans, to the next level,” said Donnie Wahlberg in a statement. “We plan on maximizing everything that the amazing Dolby Live at Park MGM has to offer, to create the most incredible NKOTB concert ever. As well as everything that Las Vegas has to offer — to create multiple events to directly engage with our fans. Las Vegas will never be the same after the New Kids and the Blockheads take over the town”
The residency promises to deliver a thrilling night packed with the group’s biggest hits, along with plenty of surprises for their longtime fans. Described as a “celebration of showmanship,” it will be a fully immersive experience, showcasing the band’s signature blend of nostalgia and spectacle.
The announcement comes after NKOTB hinted at the residency during their performance at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Vegas. Fans had already begun speculating after the group led a parade of mobile billboards down the Las Vegas strip, building anticipation for the big reveal.
In a recent interview, Wahlberg also hinted at new music in the works, inspired by their 2022 collaboration with Rick Astley, Salt-N-Pepa, and En Vogue on the hit track “Bring Back the Time.” It looks like 2025 is shaping up to be a huge year for the New Kids and their devoted Blockheads!
