New Kids on the Block stay firmly in the live game in 2026 as the group extends its The Right Stuff Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM with new summer and fall dates. According to an overview of the official tour hub and primary ticketing listings, additional shows run from June 19 through July 4 and again from October 2 to 17, 2026 in Las Vegas.
More 2026 dates for Las Vegas
The core of New Kids on the Block’s 2026 schedule centers on Dolby Live at Park MGM, where the residency-branded shows continue across three blocks in February, early summer and October. A detailed breakdown of the new runs lists performances on June 19, 20, 24, 26 and 27, followed by July 1, 3 and 4, all with 8:00 p.m. start times at the same theater in Las Vegas, as summarized in a recent residency report referencing the band’s official Vegas page and Ticketmaster data covering the updated residency schedule.
Primary ticket platforms such as Ticketmaster and large resale aggregators mirror this pattern, showing a consistent grid of 2026 dates at Dolby Live, including the October stretch from October 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 14, 16 and 17 in the same venue. For fans who plan a longer stay, the residency concept effectively turns the 5,200-capacity room into a recurring New Kids hub through much of the year.
How the broader 2026 tour picture looks
Beyond Las Vegas, New Kids on the Block are presenting 2026 as a touring year built around the Magic Summer 2026 run and the residency. A spring and summer North American routing, promoted in cooperation with Live Nation and other major partners, lines the group up for amphitheater and arena dates in core U.S. markets such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas and Boston, with Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff joining as special guests according to a tour overview that collates Pollstar and Live Nation materials describing the Magic Summer 2024/2026 plans.
While detailed individual arena dates for every city are still being rolled out on the official channels, the shape of the year is clear: residencies anchor the calendar in Las Vegas, and a larger-scale touring segment carries the band back into outdoor U.S. venues over the summer. From a scheduling perspective, this gives fans two different ways to see the group live in 2026: a fixed-city residency or a traveling summer show with a full bill.

Where New Kids on the Block are musically in 2026
New Kids on the Block’s current touring push follows the release of their first full studio album of original material in more than a decade. The group announced Still Kids for May 17, 2024 through BMG, with a 14-track lineup that leans on retro synth-pop, polished pop-rock and modern production elements, as reported at the time of the announcement in early March 2024 by Billboard.
On that album, songs such as Kids, produced and co-written by David Stewart and Luke Batt, place big melodic hooks over contemporary rhythm programming, while deeper cuts bring in guest contributions from DJ Jazzy Jeff and Taylor Dayne. Taken alongside the 35th-anniversary reissue of Step by Step in June 2025, this positions the band between catalog celebration and new material, a balance reflected in their 2026 setlists.
What is next on the calendar
As of late August 2026, the next officially listed New Kids on the Block show is scheduled for October 2, 2026 at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas, with an 8:00 p.m. start time.
