PHOENIX — The New Kids on the Block revealed Monday they were hitting the road in 2019 on The Mixtape Tour, including a May 22 visit to Talking Stick Resort Arena in downtown Phoenix.

The group is embarking on the tour alongside fellow ’80s acts Salt-N-Pepa, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson and Naughty by Nature. To celebrate the tour announcement, the New Kids released a throwback track titled “80s Baby” featuring all their tour mates.

The tour begins on May 2 in Cincinnati and ends July 14 in Hollywood, Florida.

Since their reunion in 2008, NKOTB have been busy.

In 2014, the group received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They have also released four new albums and multiple singles, adding to their catologue from the original group, which was active from 1984 to 1994.

The five acts on the tour have combined to sell more than 100 million records.

Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday through Ticketmaster.

We want to hear from you.
