New Kids on the Block keep their 2026 live momentum going with a concentrated residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas. According to the band’s official events page, they are scheduled for eight shows between October 2 and October 17, 2026, all at the same venue in Nevada.
Las Vegas dates and what they mean for fans
The official New Kids on the Block events listing confirms performances on October 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 14, 16 and 17, 2026, all at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas, NV, giving the group a continuous autumn run in one location. The band’s events overview presents the residency as a block of dates rather than a city?to?city arena tour.
A detailed tour site focused on New Kids on the Block’s 2026 plans describes this Las Vegas engagement as an extended residency at Dolby Live, with shows clustered across June, July and October and all starting at 8:00 p.m. local time. The tour schedule lists each autumn show individually, matching the official October dates and underlining that Las Vegas is the central hub of the band’s 2026 live activity.
How the residency is structured in 2026
The same tour source outlines the broader 2026 residency framework: an opening block of shows in June, a short continuation around the Independence Day period in early July, and a return to Dolby Live for the October series that closes the run. June dates include June 19, 20, 24, 26 and 27, with early July shows on July 1, 3 and 4, all at 8:00 p.m. at Dolby Live in Las Vegas.
This means that by the time New Kids on the Block come back to the Dolby Live stage on October 2, 2026, they will already have completed eight shows at the same venue earlier in the year. Fans planning an autumn visit to Las Vegas can therefore choose from another eight confirmed concert nights in October, with Friday and Saturday shows likely to attract the largest crowds.
