PITTSBURGH, PA — Anyone remember the 1980s? New Kids On The Block certainly do, and they hope you do as well. The legendary boy band announced Monday they will embark on the Mixtape Tour 2022 next year and it will include a stop in Pittsburgh.

The new kids, who aren't new and haven't been kids since Ronald Reagan's presidency, will perform July 19 at PPG Paints Arena. Expect to hear their classic hits such as "Hangin' Tough," "I'll Be Loving You (Forever)," and "Step By Step."

Joining the new kids will be 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”).
