New Kids On The Block Tickets : Nkotbsb Performed Live Together At The American Music Awards On Abc

New Kids on the Block is an American boy band that enjoyed success in the late 1980s and early 1990s and went on to sell 80 million records worldwide

.

Assembled in Boston in 1984 by producer Maurice Starr, the members consist of brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, and Danny Wood. They won two American Music Awards in 1990 for Favorite Pop/Rock Band, Duo, or Group and Favorite Pop/Rock Album.

After having disbanded in 1994, several attempts were made to get the group back together, all of them unsuccessful. After secretly reuniting in 2007 and recording a new CD, the group released that new album and embarked on a concert tour in 2008.

The album, entitled The Block was released on September 2, 2008. The group is recently getting ready to have a tour with the Backstreet Boys. The North American concert tour is scheduled to kick off in the summer of 2011. "NKOTBSB" performed live together on November 21, 2010 at the American Music Awards on ABC.

After the group's split, most of the group members started families and began to venture into other avenues. Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood maintained low profiles, while the other three continued their careers individually.

In 1999, MTV attempted to reunite the group and get them to perform on that year's VMAs. All of the members were on board for the project, except Jonathan. Consequently, the performance didn't happen.

In 2004, Aamer Haleem, host of VH1's Bands Reunited, also attempted to convince each of the members of New Kids on the Block to reunite for a one-night performance for the show. This time Jonathan agreed. However, Joey, Donnie, and Danny all declined. While Wood and Wahlberg declined on-camera interviews, McIntyre cited that the only way he would perform with the band was if the group would make the decision to reunite permanently.

The group's reunion tour, New Kids on the Block: Live, began at Toronto's Air Canada Centre on September 18, 2008. They toured the US with Natasha Bedingfield and Lady Gaga as supporting acts.

There are 48 total concerts scheduled for Canada and the United States, ten in the United Kingdom, one in France, one in Amsterdam, Netherlands and two in Germany. A NKOTB-sponsored "theme" concert cruise (for their fans) departed from Miami, Florida and traveled to the Bahamas from May 15/18, 2009. The group also announced the Full Service Tour for 2009, featuring Jesse McCartney and Jabbawockeez .

Group member Jordan Knight announced a new concert cruise for 2010.After the tour, each member took a break on doing other endeavors. Joey recorded a few songs written & produced by fellow musicians such as himself, Drew Ryan Scott from boy band Varsity Fanclub, Brent Paschke, and Gabe Lopez.

Donnie worked on his own music as well, releasing a single called "I Got It" featuring Aubrey O'Day (formerly from Danity Kane) and "Rise and Grind" featuring Roscoe Umali.

Friday August 13, 2010 tickets went on sale for the third annual NKOTB cruise which will take place aboard the Carnival Destiny, leaving from Miami FL. on Thursday May 12, 2011 to Nassau and Half Moon Cay Bahamas. Returning to Miami FL on Monday, May 16, 2011. Once again the cruise sold out the same day it went on sale, with thousands of fans on a 'waitlist' standing by for any openings on the boat due to cancellations.

On August 18, 2010 an 'unofficial' announcement was made that NKOTB and Backstreet Boys will be touring together in 2011. On 8th October 2010, Brian Littrell, a member of the Backstreet Boys, gave the tour a 78 chance of happening. he also stated that he and Donnie had been working on songs together.

On November 3, 2010 an official announcement was made that NKOTB and BSB will be touring together in the Summer of 2011.
