Happy Monday, Northwest Arkansas mamas! Did you see the big announcement on Good Morning America today? New Kids on the Block is touring next summer, and one of their concert locations is Northwest Arkansas!
The iconic boy band will be on the Magic Summer Tour 2024, and two of the special guests will be Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff! You’ll be able to see them all next summer at the Walmart AMP on June 26, 2024. (Do you hear it? That’s the sound of thousands of former teens of the 80s and 90s rejoicing all over NWA.)
Tickets will go on sale on Friday, November 3, 2023. But this week on nwaMotherlode.com, you can win a pair of tickets BEFORE anyone can buy them!
ABOUT THE CONCERT TOUR:
New Kids on the Block exploded in popularity in the late 80s when it began making and setting records. The band sold more than 80 million records around the world with hits including “Step by Step,” “You Got It (The Right Stuff),” “Hangin’ Tough,” “I’ll Be Loving You,” and “Cover Girl.”
If you were a teenager in the 80s or 90s, you might be having a little deja vu. That’s because the first NKOTB Magic Summer Tour took place circa 1990. Coca-Cola was the sponsor of that tour, and it was tied into the infamous Coke MagicCan.

The Right Stuff was a fun one when I was a teen. I’d love to take my daughter next summer!
“The Right Stuff” or “Tonight” Jordan was definitely my first crush!
They were my jam!!! The Right Stuff & Funky, Funky Christmas
The right stuff
You got the right stuff!!! Baby
Please don’t go girl….Step by step.. Seriously loved every song!
My favorite song is Step by Step! I saw them twice when I was a kid, and am so excited they are coming to town!!
The right stuff! Still know the choreography!
Step by Step! I saw them as a kid, still have my tshirt from ’90 to wear to the concert!!
You Got It (The Right Stuff)
Woop!!! This is THE RIGHT STUFF for NW AR!!! Super Excited! I remember when they were in AR wayyy back in the day!! Would love to take my sister as she was a super fan back then!!
I had posters in my room and my 3rd grade picture I’m wearing a NKOTB shirt and button! My favorite song was Hanging Tough!
The Right Stuff is still great to this day!! This was my husband’s first concert and we’d love to take our son!
Daughters loved this band!
Love NKOTB! My fav song has to be Step by step!! I remember having posters, giant pins and cassettes!
Entering this contest 1000% for my husband, not me😂
I always wanted to see them when I was younger, but never had the chance. Now I can! My favorite is Donnie!
The Right Stuff!
OMG are you kidding…I have to pick one favorite. As soon as I saw the announcement, I started annoying my boys by singing EVERY song word for word. LOL! I guess I would have to say Hanging Tough, but the others are really close 🙂 I MUST attend because I also adore Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff! Fingers crossed I win or the actual tickets aren’t so high that I must sell a kidney to go.
Step by Step and oh my goodness Paula Abdul!!!! She’s amazingly talented.
I know every word to every song on the Hanging Tough Album! Can’t wait!
I loved every single one of their songs!! I was a huge fan. I wanted to go to the concert so bad when they came to Fayetteville in the 90’s but my parents were super over protective and would not allow me to go. So this would be a childhood dream fulfilled.
I got the right stuff!!! I would love to win this! I never had the opportunity to go to concerts as a child/teenager. So to see them would be amazing.
The right stuff! I can still the dance! I have also been one of Paula Abdul’s biggest fans forever!
The right stuff! I can still do the dance! I have also been one of Paula Abdul’s biggest fans forever!
The Right Stuff! My sister and I use to listen to them all the time!
The Right Stuff! I used to do ALL the dances while watching them perform on TV. My mom would get so annoyed with me!!! 😂😂😂
Step by step! I’d love to be able to go next year
NKOTB is my youngest sisters favorite of all time. It’s always been her dream to see them, and me too 🙂 To be able to surprise her with these tickets would mean more than you’ll ever know. Her childhood dream has to come true. My sister truly deserves to see them. I know tickets will go on sale Friday,,,. But I’m pretty sure neither of us can afford it. We are also major fans of their Special Guests. We adore Paula 🙂 Thank you for this chance and opportunity 🙂
Songs: The Right Stuff & Step by Step
( to hard to choose )
The Right Stuff. Man, it sure takes ya back.
Step by step
Step by Step is my favorite song!! And Paula Abdul opening is the best news!!
I took my teenage children to see them 35 years ago and would love to be able to see them again now!
You Got It (The Right Stuff) is my favorite!
The Right Stuff. Would love to take my daughter. Love Paula Abdul too!
Step by step! Would love to win! 🤞
Funky Funky Christmas was my absolute fave NKOTB song—and they were my first concert ever!! Gosh to relive those days—even just one of them would be so amazing! I don’t know if my daughter would go with me—but I know I have friends who would. Jordan was my first crunch, but now I’m kinda partial to Donnie. This would be a dream come true.
The Right Stuff! My sister and I lined up to watch them ride down the Macy’s Parade eons ago.
I have been a ‘Blockhead’ since the beginning! Great memories playing with their merchandise and singing their music! Have also loved Paula Abdul forever! Straight up, hard core fans of both!
The right stuff, followed by please don’t go girl, then step by step. So good!
I had Jordan posters all over my wall! So excited they’re coming to NWA!!
The Right Stuff!!
Step by Step! What an awesome concert to be able to attend.
My mom grew up listening to them. Would love to go with her.
Too many good songs to name just one favorite!! My girls loved them all! Posters on walls, tshirts, cassette tapes, I think they even had a sleeping bag! What great memories!
The Right Stuff! Their cassette was my first cassette ever! My mom was torn between their cassette and another she thought had a pretty rose-filled cover (GunsnRoses). The sales lady steered her to NKOB, and I often wonder how I would’ve been different had she chose the other one.
I’m actually really excited to see Paula Abdul! Step by Step/Jonathan were my faves
Step by step!!! Lol. I always think of my friend Crystal who was head over hills with them. She would die if we got tickets. So fun.
The right stuff. Would love to take my son.
I was a grown up but I love the beat and the music. My daughter was truly in love with them! I would say my fav song is Never let you go. I would listen to them with my daughter and that is a really good memory. This concert would be fabulous!
I had a room full of NKOTB items as a girl! From blankets, to curtains, shirts, and even the action dolls! Jordan was my favorite! I love all their songs. Top fav would be Step by step!
