Epic N.J. Concert: New Kids On The Block, Paula Abdul, Boyz II Men
They're not exactly "new," but these kids are still hangin' tough. Prepare for their 2017 New Jersey concert with some music videos here.
NEWARK, NJ — Maybe the moniker “new” isn’t the right word to describe the 1990s boy-band archetype that launched countless imitators in the decades to come. But when the New Kids on the Block arrive in New Jersey for their recently announced 2017 tour with peer icons Paula Abdul and Boyz II Men, “old” is going to sound pretty good to thousands of fans.
On Tuesday, the New Kids on the Block announced the launch of the nationwide “Total Package Tour” which features a stop at Newark’s Prudential Center on July 2.
Tickets will be available to the general public on Saturday, Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. (local) on www.ticketmaster.com. American Express card members and Block Nation Fan-Club Members can get advance VIP Packages and tickets beginning Wednesday, Nov. 16 at 10 a.m. (local times).

“Our fans know we love to bring them a party, and this tour is no exception,” NKOTB member Donnie Wahlberg said. “It’s not just a show, it’s an experience. Paula Abdul is such a pop icon and Boyz II Men are one of the best R&B acts of all time. It’s going to be a night of hit after hit, and we can’t wait to deliver the ‘Total Package’ to our fans!”
