New Kids on the Block are doubling down on their love affair with Las Vegas, strengthening their bond with the city as they prepare for an extended run of their hit residency in 2026. The iconic group is gearing up for a full year of performances, embracing Sin City with renewed excitement and a schedule that now includes a total of 24 shows.
The announcement came after the group — Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood — made a symbolic stop at the Little White Wedding Chapel. There, they humorously “renewed their vows” with Las Vegas as they confirmed 16 additional dates for their “The Right Stuff” residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM. Their commitment was further sealed when Clark County Commission chairman Tick Segerblom presented the group with ceremonial keys to the Las Vegas Strip, solidifying their status as honorary locals for the coming year.
After launching the residency in June, NKOTB still have a few shows remaining this week before taking a short break and returning in February. The newly added 2026 dates will pick back up during Valentine’s Day week and continue throughout June, July, and October, offering fans several chances to experience the high-energy production that has kept audiences cheering all year long. With dazzling lights, aerial moments, and the group’s signature charisma, the performances have been praised for blending nostalgia with stadium-style spectacle.
Wahlberg expressed just how meaningful the residency has become for the band, noting the powerful connection they feel every night with their fans — affectionately known as Blockheads. He described the atmosphere as electric, emphasizing how special it has been to create this chapter of their career in a city that has embraced them wholeheartedly. According to him, extending the residency felt like the natural next step because the group is having “the best time” sharing these unforgettable nights with their fans.
Keeping in line with the playful wedding theme, the residency also features a brief ceremony each night in which the band and their fans symbolically pledge their loyalty to one another. During the show’s debut, Wahlberg jokingly asked both the New Kids and the Blockheads to commit to being each other’s “forever” partners in music, a moment that set the tone for a lighthearted and deeply sentimental experience. With this renewed commitment and an expanded calendar of dates, NKOTB are prepared to make 2026 one of their most memorable years yet.
