First stop on the upcoming New Kids on the Block reunion is New Jersey - soccer moms and Milf’s everywhere are firing up the mini vans and SUVs. One might think the original five - Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Jonathan Knight, and Danny Wood - might consider a name change since the youngest is now 35 (McIntyre) and the oldest is 39 (Knight). They’re also releasing their next record on Interscope and being managed by industry veteran and certified badass Irving Azoff. With Azoff in the mix it’s only a matter of time before teen girls are texting “OMFG NKOTB!!!!111″
From NJ.com:
The group — which ruled the pop charts in the late’80s and early’90s, and headlined shows at arenas and stadiums — has reunited, and will make its first concert performance in 14 years at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, May 17.
Their set will be part of radio station Z100’s annual “Zootopia” concert. The rest of the lineup is pretty impressive, too. Miley Cyrus of “Hannah Montana” fame will perform, as will “American Idol” winner Jordin Sparks, the Jonas Brothers, OneRepublic, Simple Plan, Gavin DeGraw and Ferras.
