New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys will help ring in 2011 when they perform together on 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.'

The super boy group, which will tour in 2011 under the name NKOTBSB, will perform live from Times Square in New York City on the annual ABC television special hosted by Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest. NKOTBSB recently gave fans a sneak peek of what to expect when they performed a medley of their hits at the American Music Awards.

The New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys join a new year's lineup that also includes Ke$ha and Taio Cruz in Times Square, as well as Los Angeles-based performers by Jennifer Hudson, Willow Smith, Ne-Yo, Avril Lavigne, Drake, Jason Derulo, La Roux, Mike Posner, Natasha Bedingfield, Far East Movement and Train. Jenny McCarthy and Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas will help host the event.
