New Kids on the Block Bring The Right Stuff Back to Vegas This October

Blockheads, the Fall Run Is Here

Donnie Wahlberg asked a Dolby Live crowd this summer if they minded the group getting a little closer, then he and the rest of New Kids on the Block climbed into flying boxes that rose over the audience mid-song. That's the scale The Right Stuff Remixed operates on. The five original members -- Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood, Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, and Joey McIntyre -- return to Park MGM for the fall leg of their first-ever Las Vegas residency, eight dates running October 2 through 17.

What You're Actually Getting

New Kids on the Block: The Right Stuff is a full-scale nostalgia machine built for a group that once ran a fan club with more than 200,000 members and fielded 100,000 calls a week at its peak. This October leg is part of a 24-show 2026 residency the group extended twice due to demand, and the production leans into exactly the moments longtime Blockheads want: a set list spanning the eight-times-platinum Hangin' Tough, the 2008 reunion album The Block, and 2024's Still Kids, capped by a three-song encore staged inside a replica of the LeSabre from the "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" music video. The group has sold more than 80 million records worldwide, and the production is built to remind you why.

Venue: Dolby Live, Park MGM | Dates: October 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 14, 16, and 17, 2026, 8 p.m. | Style: Full-production boy band nostalgia

Who Should Book This

This is squarely for anyone who had a New Kids poster on the wall in 1989, or who just wants to watch a room full of grown adults lose their minds over "Step by Step" and "Hangin' Tough." It skews toward group trips and reunions, girls'-night crews revisiting their teenage years, and honestly works fine solo if you just want to sing along without judgment. It's less a fit for anyone hoping for a stripped-down, intimate concert; this is a big, theatrical, arena-energy production packed into a theater setting.

Book Before the Fall Leg Fills

Eight dates across two and a half weeks isn't a lot of room for a group that's sold out nights on this same run before, and Dolby Live's roughly 5,200 seats go fast once a specific date starts trending. If a particular October night matters to your travel plans, especially a weekend date, lock it in early rather than waiting to see how the first few shows land. The group has already extended this residency twice due to demand, which tells you how these tickets tend to move.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is New Kids on the Block performing in Las Vegas in October 2026?

New Kids on the Block play Dolby Live at Park MGM on eight dates in October 2026: the 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 9th, 10th, 14th, 16th, and 17th, all at 8 p.m. This is the fall leg of their 2026 Right Stuff Remixed residency, which also included earlier dates in the year, making 24 shows total for the year.

Who are the members of New Kids on the Block?

The group's five original members all perform in this residency: Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood, Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, and Joey McIntyre. All five have been part of the group since its late-1980s formation in Boston, and this Las Vegas run is their first-ever residency together.

Is the New Kids on the Block residency worth it if you're not a huge fan?

It works best if you already know the songs, since the show is built around crowd singalongs and shared nostalgia rather than a narrative or unfamiliar new material. If you grew up with any exposure to Hangin' Tough-era pop, even casually, the production's scale and the crowd's energy tend to carry non-superfans along for the ride.

How big is Dolby Live, and are there bad seats?

Dolby Live seats roughly 5,200 people and uses a Dolby Atmos sound system, so the room stays sonically strong throughout. The production also moves members into the crowd and elevates them above the audience in flying boxes during parts of the show, which extends the visual experience well past just the main stage for anyone seated further back.

Should I book New Kids on the Block tickets in advance?

Yes. The residency has already been extended twice due to strong demand, and this October leg only runs eight dates across two and a half weeks. Popular nights, especially weekends, have a track record of selling out on this run, so booking ahead of your travel dates is the safer move rather than waiting to buy at the last minute.
