Step 2: There's So Much We Can Do

NKOTB previously embarked on a concert tour with special guests Paula Abdul and Boys II Men under "The Total Package" tour.
Step 3: It's Just You and Me
Fans will get their fill of nostalgia when brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood take the stage.
Concertgoers can also expect such hits as “Push It,” “Shoop” and “Whatta Man” from hip-hop royalty Salt-N-Pepa, not to mention Rick Astley's eighties smashes like “Never Gonna Give You Up" and "Together Forever."
And, as for the R&B group En Vogue, fans can except to “Free Your Mind," and sing along to "Hold On” and "Never Gonna Get It."
Step 4: I Can Give You More
The beloved pop group known for hits like “Hangin’ Tough” and “You Got It (The Right Stuff),” just to name a few, appeared on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" Monday to preview the live show with a performance.
“It’s been two years, basically, or more since we have toured,” band member Donnie Wahlberg said. “And as you can see we have the craziest and best and most amazing fans on the face of the earth. We’re really anxious to get back to them, and I know they’re anxious to get back to us."
Step 5: Don't You Know That the Time Has Arrived
In a Live Nation press release, Wahlberg said NKTOB is more than ready for the big tour.
“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,” the singer said. “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!”
