NKOTB on MTV News talk about The Package tour (VIDEO)


New Kids On The Block Insist: You Can't Miss The Package Tour

Boy-band bonanza kicks off in May with Boyz II Men and 98 Degrees joining the Boston fivesome.


There are probably dozens of reasons pop fans will head out to see New Kids on the Block, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men on the Package Tour this summer. We'll spare you our reasons, but headliners NKOTB shared a few of their own when MTV News hit the L.A. set of their "Remix (I Like The)" video.
"Boyz II Men have not done an arena tour," Donnie Wahlberg said before breaking down all the other reasons this tour is sure to please. "98 Degrees is doing their first show together in 12 years, so it's a big deal. We're doing our first tour with just us [without Backstreet Boys] in three years, so we are going to put on our show, and they are going to put on theirs."
If having three A-list boy bands on the same bill isn't enough, Joey McIntyre teased that an onstage collaboration or two just might be in the works.
"New Kids are going to perform on their own, Boyz II Men on their own, 98 Degrees on their own, so all the fans can see their groups do their thing separately," he said. "Within that, you know, I would be surprised if we didn't kind of have some surprises and get together, 'cause it would be a lot of fun."
They are still working it out before the tour kicks off May 31 in Uncasville, Connecticut. "Like Joe said, once we get all those shows situated, I'm sure were gonna have a little fun ... trickery, skullduggery!" Donnie Wahlberg chimed in.
The tour wraps up July 13 in Minneapolis, but not before the boy bands make stops all around North America. Each night, BIIM will kick off the concert, followed by 98 Degrees and then NKOTB.
It's a busy time for the Beantown fivesome. Not only are the New Kids prepping for their summer tour, but also the release of their next album,10, out April 2.

Step by step: The childhood home of the Knight brothers

It's not listed in any tourist guide, but NKOTB fans flock to the house where the Knight brothers grew up By Johnny Diaz Globe Staff / November 15, 2008 When Kari Lusso and her trio of girlfriends flew from Seattle to Boston for the New Kids on the Block concert, they had to make a quick detour. On a rainy Saturday night, the friends drove their rental car to 10 Melville Ave. As they stood in front of the Victorian house, they shrieked and giggled like little girls. The commotion? They were at the former home of the band's brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight. When they rang the bell, they got a quick tour. "It was going from 31 to 13," Lusso said. "We took pictures of their stove. We took pictures of their floor. We took pictures of the banister, the living room, and their bedrooms. What a dream come true to see such an...

NKOTB's Joey McIntyre Gives Update on BSB A.J. McLean in Rehab

New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre has been in the music business for over 24 years and has seen some friends battle with addiction in the limelight, including Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean who recently made the decision to enter rehab. "A.J. is a sweet kid, good kid and extremely talented, so we're all there for him," said Joey. AJ admitted himself earlier this month before heading on the huge NKOTB/BSB tour. Young star Aaron Carter is reportedly seeking professional help as well to deal with some unknown "emotional and spiritual issues," and Joey commended Aaron for making that step. "To me it's usually a good thing when someone can take some time and retreat from it all and, you know, just get a little bit more centered," Joey said, encouragingly. Justin Bieber has managed to stay clean in his career thus far and Joey gave some advice to the star for staying on the right track. "Hopefully, kids like Justin… there...
