New Kids on the Block drop new track for 35th anniversary of NKOTB Day

New Kids on the Block is celebrating the 35th anniversary of NKOTB Day with the release of new ballad ‘A Love Like This’.

The 80s-tinged ballad is a love letter from New Kids On The Block to their fans (aka Blockheads), and the special bond amongst the fandom. It is taken from new album ‘Still Kids‘, which will be released via BMG on 17th May 2024.

“The song, ‘A Love Like This’, is truly a love letter to our fans. We’ve written and recorded a song that speaks to the enduring, evolving and magical relationship that we’ve shared over the past 35 years,” said Donnie Wahlberg of the new track. “There is no us without them, and certainly would be no NKOTB Day without their unconditional love and support. This is our special way of giving back to them.”

NKOTB DAY is an honorary day that has been celebrated annually since 24th April 1989, when it was officially declared a holiday by former Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis. In celebration, Blockheads can grab a special priced Magic Pack – four tickets to the New Kids’ upcoming Magic Summer 2024 US Tour for just $89.00 plus fees. Purchase the Magic Pack at NKOTB.com and livenation.com.

On the all-new album, members Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood channel the New Kids’ beginnings, even as it pushes them into new territory as songwriters and as a band. The album features 14 new tracks including the lead single, ‘Kids‘ and is full of pop anthems, dance tracks, love songs, and grooves that will become fast favourites for the Blockheads.

New Kids On The Block will celebrate the new album and classic hits with Blockheads across the country on their upcoming Magic Summer 2024 US Tour, kicking off on 14th June with special guests Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Tickets are on-sale now at ticketmaster.com.
