Published on 08/21/2026 at 11:34 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
New Kids on the Block continue their veteran pop run with a concentrated 2026 residency in Las Vegas. According to multiple tour listings, the group’s The Right Stuff Las Vegas Residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM is set for 16 shows between June 19 and October 17, 2026, giving fans a focused window to see the band live in one city.
How the 2026 Las Vegas run is structured
The current tour data shows New Kids on the Block playing a block of summer and fall dates at Dolby Live in Las Vegas, Nevada. A detailed schedule published by a concert listing service lists shows on June 19, 20, 24, 26 and 27, followed by July 1, 3 and 4, then a fall stretch on October 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 14, 16 and 17, all at Dolby Live.
The same source notes that this run is treated as a residency-style tour rather than a city-to-city arena trek, with all dates concentrated in Las Vegas and framed as The Right Stuff Las Vegas Residency, starting on June 19, 2026 and culminating on October 17, 2026.
Tour & live details for 2026
A separate tour tracker confirms that New Kids on the Block are currently scheduled for 16 shows across one city between June 19 and October 17, 2026, all at Dolby Live in Las Vegas. It lists each of the dates individually, beginning June 19 and ending October 17, and describes the band as "currently on tour" with the residency branded under The Right Stuff name at the Park MGM complex.
An official events overview on the band’s own site highlights at least part of this window, including a July 4, 2026 show at Dolby Live, reinforcing that the group is actively booking and promoting this Las Vegas stretch rather than treating it as a one-off appearance.

Still Kids and the post-reunion body of work
New Kids on the Block’s current live activity builds on their 2024 studio album Still Kids, released on May 17, 2024 via BMG as their first full-length in more than a decade. The label highlighted it as the group’s first studio album since 10 in 2013, and as a key plank for renewed touring momentum across North America and beyond.
The album’s track list balances new material with deliberate callbacks to the group’s late-1980s sound, including songs like Kids, A Love Like This, Magic, Summer Love, and collaborations such as Get Down featuring DJ Jazzy Jeff and Old School Love featuring Taylor Dayne. That mix reinforces the Las Vegas residency’s positioning: a show styled as a celebration of both the early hits and the post-reunion catalogue.
Where the band sits in German charts and legacy
For German listeners, New Kids on the Block have a longstanding chart footprint. Data from Germany’s Official Charts shows that their 2024 album Still Kids entered the German album chart on May 24, 2024 and peaked at number 59, remaining one week in the ranking. Historically, the early-1990s album Step By Step performed significantly better, reaching number 1 in the German album charts and holding for a total of 37 weeks.
Chart-survey data synthesizing multiple German and Austrian listings notes that New Kids on the Block have placed nine albums and nine singles in the German charts over time, including one German number-one album (Step By Step) and at least one Top 10 single, Step By Step, which spent 22 weeks in the German singles chart and peaked at number 8. For German fans considering the Las Vegas residency, that historical performance anchors their perception of the band’s catalog.
