Celebrating NKOTB Day & The Vegas Residency Countdown

Honoring the Legacy & Preparing for Vegas

For years, April 24 has been NKOTB Day, a special time for fans (it started in Boston back in 1989). This year, the celebration also marks the official countdown to THE RIGHT STUFF Las Vegas Residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, starting June 20, 2025, with 24 shows through February 2026. Tickets are currently on sale, and you can get them here!

A Unique Vegas Show & Blockhead HQ

The guys are promising a Vegas show packed with hits, surprises, and a unique production. NKOTB Day helped fans get ready for the residency with the BLOCKHEAD HQ at Park MGM. The day was rung in by fans with exclusive photo opportunities, a giant inflatable Blockie, exclusive goodies, and a special ticket and meet-and-greet giveaway.

Hometown Heroes & Worldwide

Proudly representing Boston, NKOTB has sold out Fenway Park three times and continues to connect with millions of fans globally through sold-out tours, NKOTB cruises (Did you know Donnie Wahlberg holds the world record for most selfies taken in an hour?), and BLOCKCON fan conventions. For over ten years, the group has toured with fellow boybands across the globe—most notably with the Backstreet Boys during the critically acclaimed NKOTBSB tour.
