Boy-bands-turned-man-bands New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) and the Backstreet Boys announced Monday on their websites that 18 dates have been added to their summer 2011 co-headlining tour.
The announcement comes a day after the two acts performed together at the close of Sunday night’s American Music Awards. The summer tour was originally announced on Nov. 3, with the new dates added due to demand from fans.
"We can't thank our fans enough for their continued support. The love that everyone has shown to us and to this project is incredible,” the two groups said in a joint statement. “We can feel the excitement and we won't let the fans down.”
The statement promised the tour would be accompanied by an elaborate stage design that will ensure “there won't be one bad seat in the house.”
NKOTB -- Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood, Joey McIntyre, Jonathan Knight and Jordan Knight -- gained fame in the late 1980s with hits like “You Got It (The Right Stuff),” helping to lay the groundwork for the 1990s boy band movement that catapulted groups like the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync to success.
NKOTB and the Backstreet Boys first performed together in June at a NKOTB concert at New York’s Radio City Music Hall.
Tickets for the first set of tour dates are on sale now, with tickets for the just-announced dates going on sale on Dec. 11. The complete tour dates are listed on both acts’ official websites.
