New Kids on the Block Announce ‘Mixtape 2022’ Tour With Salt-N-Pepa, Rick Astley, En Vogue

The New Kids on the Block are hitting the road for an extensive arena tour in May 2022, and they’re bringing along Salt-N-Pepa, Rick Astley, and En Vogue.

“We had a blast out on the first MixTape Tour in 2019, and can’t wait to take it to another level with our fans on the MixTape Tour 2022,” NKOTB singer Donnie Wahlberg said in a statement. “Just like a mixtape, these shows are going to take audiences through all the emotions. To be able to have Salt-N-Pepa come back and now also have the iconic and legendary Rick Astley and En Vogue join the tour… we could not be more excited. Let’s GO!”

New Kids on the Block have been touring consistently since the original line-up reunited in 2008. Past tours have featured 98 Degrees, Boyz II Men, TLC, Nelly, Paula Abdul, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, and Salt-N-Pepa. On their recent Mixtape tours, the special guests have come out midway through the New Kids’ show to play mini-sets of their hits rather than a traditional opening act slot.

This time around, expect to hear “Push It,” “Shoop,” “Together Forever,” “Free Your Mind,” “and “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)” in addition to New Kids standards like “Hangin’ Tough,” “Step By Set,” and “The Right Stuff.” Odds are high that Salt-N-Pepa will perform “Whatta Man” with En Vogue, and don’t be surprised to see some sort of surprise “Rickroll” rendition of “Never Gonna Give You Up.”
