NKOTB To Take Over Britney’s Las Vegas Residency For Short Stint

While Britney Spears takes a short break from her residency at the AXIS theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, New Kids on the Block are set to fill in. The mini-residency will be their only North American appearance this year, but it's so much more than a concert.

NKOTB will perform a special four-night series of shows from July 10-13. The band will not only perform at AXIS theater, but also host day-time pool parties, late-night after parties, and other fun outings. Bachelorette party packages will also be available.

Tickets go on sale April 4, at 10 a.m. PT via ticketmaster, and exclusive VIP packages with
meet-and-greets, etc. will be available at NKOTB.com.

"The band has been focusing on all sorts of solo projects and now prepping for our European tour, but we knew we wanted to do something special stateside for 2014,” says Donnie Wahlberg in a statement. "We knew we had a limited time block where we could do something fun and we knew we had to make it memorable! What better place than Vegas?"

Donnie adds, "We’ll be up all day and all night for the whole weekend with our fans and
friends. It’s central enough to everyone in the country; North, South, East and West can all
converge on Sin City with NKOTB. And we will certainly make it worth their while!’”
