Donnie Wahlberg Shares Big News About New Kids on the Block’s Las Vegas Residency
- New Kids on the Block extend their Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM through 2026 with 16 new dates added to next year’s calendar.
New Kids on the Blockaren't done with Las Vegas just yet — in fact, they're settling in for the long haul.
The legendary boy band announced that their The Right Stuff residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM has been officially extended through 2026 due to "overwhelming demand." Sixteen new dates have been added to next year's calendar, bringing NKOTB's total 2026 shows to 24.
Fans can now catch the group February 14 through 28, June 19 through July 4, or October 2 through 17, with tickets going on sale Friday, November 21 at 10 a.m. PT.
Donnie Wahlbergtold The Hollywood Reporter the band didn't hesitate when the opportunity came up. "Being able to play for another year, in the best theater in the city, was too irresistible to pass up," he said. "From the production quality, to the opportunities this city gives us to interact with our fans, Las Vegas has allowed us to take The New Kids experience to the next level for our Blockheads."
It's safe to say that Blockheads are super excited about the news.
"Hell yea! Just found what I'm doing for my 50th! Wooo," one fan wrote in the comments.
Another noted, "Vegas needs to keep them regularly. It will keep tourism up lol!"
"Christmas has come early!!! Amazing show and experience!" said another.
Wahlberg has been vocal about how meaningful the residency is for the group — and for the fans who've kept them going for more than three decades. Speaking on the Morning Magic with Sue and Kendra podcast back in April, before their 2025 Vegas residency even began, he said the band is counting down the days until they could take the stage. "We're really excited about it… We've been working on it for a while. It's very different doing Vegas now, I guess, than it was considered years ago," Wahlberg shared, noting how artists today take on residencies at the height of their careers. "It's pretty cool for us after all these years."
Wahlberg also emphasized that the entire production was designed with their loyal fanbase in mind. Calling Blockheads "the secret ingredient" behind the band's longevity, he explained, "It's really a tribute to the fans, honestly.
