New Kids On The Block ‘Mixtape’ tour set for 2019, with Salt-N-Pepa, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson and ...
New Kids On The Block has announced its 2019 “The Mixtape Tour,” which co-stars Salt-N-Pepa, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson and Naughty By Nature. Here are all the cities and dates.
Mommy, what’s a “mixtape?” And what are “New Kids On The Block?”
Pop-music fans pining to re-live the 1980s can stop pining. The now middle-aged boy band New Kids On The Block will hit the road in 2019 with fellow ’80s veterans Salt-N-Pepa, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson and Naughty By Nature.
Together, they will embark on “The Mixtape Tour,” whose technologically archaic title may baffle anyone born in this century. The three-month tour will visit 53 North American cities, beginning with a May 2 show at U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati and concluding with a July 14 show at the Hard Rock Event Center in Hollywood, Fla.
The tour will include at least six California dates, starting with a May 23 stop at San Diego State University’s Viejas Arena. It will be followed by a May 24 show at Anaheim’s Honda Center, a May 26 show at the Hollywood Bowl, a May 28 show at Bakersfield’s Rabobank Arena, a May 29 show at San Jose’s SAP Arena and a May 30 show at Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center.
All tour dates appear below. To celebrate the announcement of the tour, New Kids On The Block has released a new, nostalgia-drenched song, “80s Baby,” which also features Salt-N-Pepa, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson and Naughty By Nature.
Tickets for the general public go on Friday at 10 a.m. at ticketmaster.com and livenation.com, and by phone at (800) 745-3000. An online pre-sale for American Express Card Members begins Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time and runs through 10 p.m. Thursday.
Ticket prices for the May 23 San Diego “Mixtape” tour show range from $29.95 to $159.95 each, plus service charges.
