Following the media sensation that revealed their official reunion, New Kids on the Block have released their new single “Summertime,” and are currently preparing for their return to the world stage. The first shows include stops in Toronto, Montreal, New York, New Jersey, Providence and Chicago. The tour is being produced by Live Nation. A full listing of show dates and venues can be found on www.nkotb.com.

The group split in 1994, but has recently reunited in the recording studio to create new music, working in partnership with a new record label, Interscope Records, and a cadre of world class music producers. The guys have been hard at work writing and recording for an expected new album in Fall 2008.
