The band announced “The Right Stuff,” the first Las Vegas residency production, on Sept. 19. The lineup of Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Donny Wood with an appearance at The Park, the promenade across from Park MGM and Dolby Live. The quintet rolled in on a double-decker bus at a fan event, hosted by Los Angeles radio personality Sean Valentine.
The announcement follows the band’s “Magic Summer Tour” stop, a sellout across the country. It was the band’s eighth tour, and their first in a decade. Their latest album, “Still Kids,” was issued this year.
NKOTB’s most recent tour stop in Las Vegas was July 10-13, 2014, at then-Axis at Planet Hollywood, during the “Block After Dark” tour.
Wahlberg, brother of A-list actor Mark Wahlberg, is the band’s unofficial captain. He’s eager to get started on the Strip.
“It’s crazy. It’s surreal,” Wahlberg said during the announcement event,” Wahlberg said. “It’s something we talked about when we were kids, ‘One day when we’re old and retired, we’ll go there.’ Well, we ai’t retired, and we ai’t retiring, and we’re here.”
