New Kids On The Block Australian Tour Announcement
http://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=NKOTB09
Presented by: Andrew McManus Presents
As fresh-faced teens in the 1980s, New Kids On The Block shot to world wide superstardom as the first white boy band. They sold 80 million albums, broke teenage hearts everywhere and inspired a whole generation of young boy bands to follow in their footsteps.
After splitting in 1994, the New Kids On The Block announced they were getting back together late last year and the response has been phenomenal.
The Full Service Australian Tour will open in Perth on August 1 and also perform in Adelaide, Melbourne, Newcastle, Brisbane, Sydney, Wollongong.
Having wowed Australian fans here in 1992, local fans have been storming an online petition to get the New Kids back, once news of their reunion broke last year. With albums that went platinum eight times, staying for 132 weeks in the Billboard 200 Albums list and achieving the rare feat of having three singles from three different albums in the Billboard Top 100 in 1990, New Kids On The Block were music legends while still just kids!
With an impressive pedigree of hits from their pre-split days, New Kids will be bringing the hits their fans loved, like ‘You Got It (The Right Stuff)’, ‘I’ll Be Loving You (Forever)’, ‘Hangin’ Tough’, ‘Step by Step’ along with some fabulous new material.
While New Kids On The Block love performing their many hits, this isn’t a nostalgia tour from a group of once-were-pop-stars - the Kids have simply grown up, re-formed and are making their mark on the music world again with new material that blends the melodic soul of vintage New Kids with a decidedly contemporary, hip hop feel.
“The new music we’re making reignited this whole thing so it’s not just cashing in on pure nostalgia for the old days,” explained Joey McIntyre.

NKOTB Australia Cancer Fundraiser
One of our Melbourne fan’s is trying to organise a fundraiser / fan get together which will help rasie money for cancer. If you are interested, please check out http://nkotbaustralia.com/forum//index.php?topic=563.80 for more information. Cancer is something very close to most of our hearts as we probably all know someone that has had it, it is also very close to Danny’s heart as you know, so I am sure he would love it if we could help support the cure too.

Tagged TourAustralian NKOTB YouTube Video - We need your help
nkotbaustralia.com is making a YouTube video and is hoping that you could be the star.
Our plan is to make ask Australian fans to produce a very short video (3 mega bytes or less) where you say “Australia wants face time”. We will collate all of the videos into one larger video and put it on YouTube. We want New Kids On The Block to know how much we love and appreciate them so that they come and tour here.
The video can be anything you like as long as its small enough to fit in an email (if you zip the file, that is fine too). If you want to include your kids, that is great too. Add any flare that you want (again as long as its email-able).
It can be done. We will make plenty of noise and show plenty of love to the guys that it will be too hard for them to refuse our sweet little faces
