The main event is here... New Kids on the Block is going on tour this summer, and they're bringing some big name events. Today (Jan. 20), NKOTB went on Good Morning America to announce its summer The Main Event Tour, and the biggest boy band of the '80s is bringing along the biggest girl group of all time, TLC and major 2000s rapper Nelly.
New Kids on the Block announced its tour with all five original members, reforming on GMA once again to announce its massive live shows. The live trek -- which will begin May 1 in Las Vegas and run through July 2 in Buffalo, New York - is set to include a 360-degree "square" seating and bar stools on the stage so NKOTB can converse with its fans and even share some snacks.
But, the boy band isn't doing it alone. One day after announcing a Kickstarter for their fifth studio album, T-Boz and Chilli of TLC showed up at GMA to announce they'll be on the tour, as well. And Nelly was present via video message, also stating his enthusiasm for the live shows.
