Calling all Blockheads! The New Kids on the Block are bringing their Mixtape Tour 2022 to the tri-state area!

News 12’s Elisa DiStefano got a chance to speak with New Kid Joey McIntyre about the upcoming tour and what Long Island means to him and the rest of the band.

“We really believe we have the best fans in the world,” says McIntyre. “We want to give Blockheads an amazing night, that’s what we’re here for.”

The New Kids on the Block are no strangers to Long Island and the tri-state area. They actually headlined their first show for the Hangin’ Tough Tour in 1988 on Long Island! “Long Island…I am almost speechless because there really is so much history there with the Coliseum, with Westbury Music Fair. It just felt like our people, they loved us as if we were from Long Island.”

The boys from Boston kick off their 2022 tour in Ohio on May 10. They’ll be joined by Rick Astley, En Vogue and Salt-N-Pepa.

The Mixtape Tour comes to UBS Area on June 30. NKOTB will also be at Mohegan Sun on July 1 and July 2, the Hard Rock Hotel Casino in Atlantic City on July 3 and the Prudential Center on July 14.
