The pop act New Kids On the Block just announced the details of its upcoming MixTape Tour 2022, which pairs it with like-minded acts Salt-N-Pepa, Rick Astley and En Vogue. The 50-plus date trek begins on May 10 in Cincinnati and comes to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on June 21.

“We had a blast out on the first MixTape Tour in 2019, and can’t wait to take it to another level with our fans on the MixTape Tour 2022,” Donnie Wahlberg says in a press release. “Just like a mixtape, these shows are going to take audiences through all the emotions. To be able to have Salt-N-Pepa come back and now also have the iconic and legendary Rick Astley & En Vogue join the tour… we could not be more excited. Let’s GO!”
