New Kids on the Block was my VERY FIRST CONCERT EVER. I think I was 11 or 12. Bless my mother’s Elton John-loving heart for taking me because I’m pretty sure she enjoyed exactly 0% of that testosterone-fueled 80’s pop fiesta.

But me? I was in HEAVEN. Because I simply could not decide which New Kid was my soulmate. Each singer’s Teen Beat centerfold (don’t make it weird) had rotated through the spot of honor on the back of my door. Even Joey, who I knew, deep down, was too short for me.

​

​

And guess what?!

They are going on tour! The Mixtape Tour will feature New Kids on the Block, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Salt-n-Pepa, and Naughty By Nature.

WHAT.

Maybe now that I’m pushing 40, I will blush less at the Salt-n-Pepa lyrics. OH DON’T PRETEND LIKE YOU DON’T KNOW WHICH ONES I’M TALKING ABOUT.

Presale tickets are available starting Tuesday at 10 a.m. EDT. For more information on tickets click here!
