The rumored New Kids on the Block tour featuring TLC and Nelly is now reality.
The trio of acts will team for “The Main Event,” a summer jaunt that launches May 1 in Las Vegas and will swing through Philips Arena at 7 p.m. June 6.
Tickets are $29.50-$93.50 and are on sale at 10 a.m. Jan. 31 via www.ticketmaster.com, www.livenation.com, the Philips Arena box office or by calling 1-800-745-3000.
American Express cardholders can purchase advance tickets starting at 10 a.m. Jan. 23 and those who sign up for a Facebook RSVP starting Jan. 28 will also have early access to tickets.
The show will be performed in the round and the NKOTB guys have hinted at possible collaborations among the acts.
While NKOTB are the headliners, the inclusion of TLC is especially noteworthy for Atlanta concert-goers given the deep roots the R&B songbirds have in Atlanta.
On Monday, TLC's Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas and Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins announced plans to record their final album with the help of fan funding via Kickstarter.
