New Kids on the Block return for UK arena tour

Sep 8 2008 by Rebecca Edwards, Chester Chronicle

NEW Kids on the Block (NKOTB) have reformed and are embarking on an eight date UK arena tour in January 2009.

New Kids On The Block - Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood come to Manchester MEN Arena on Friday January 16 2009 and tickets go on sale on Friday, September 19.

In the late Eighties and early Nineties, New Kids on the Block became a phenomenon, selling over 80 million albums.

So what will a New Kids On The Block concert look like in 2008?

“We’re still young, we’re still hot,” Joey McIntyre answers with a laugh.

“Our fans are between 25 and 35 now because they were really young then. They’re still very attractive - and very legal. So it’s going to be a girls night out.

“I know my wife’s going to be there every step of the way, but it’s still going to be fun.”

Tickets go on general sale Friday September 19 at 9.30am on 0871 2200 260 or www.gigsandtours.com
