According to the band’s official Vegas page, additional shows run from June 19 through July 4 and again from October 2 to 17, 2026 at the same venue officially announced by NKOTB.
What the 2026 Vegas schedule looks like
The residency, branded as The Right Stuff Las Vegas show, turns Dolby Live at Park MGM into a recurring NKOTB hub across three separate 2026 runs. The official tour hub lists summer performances on June 19, 20, 24, 26 and 27, followed by July 1, 3 and 4, all at 8:00 p.m. local time at Dolby Live in Las Vegas tour schedule overview.

Why this matters for German fans and chart history
Even though the 2026 residency is centered in the United States, German fans remain an important part of New Kids on the Block’s story. Germany’s Official Charts list their 2024 album Still Kids with a chart entry dated May 24, 2024, where it debuted at number 59 on the Official German Album Charts, marking a brief but recent presence for the comeback record in the country’s rankings Offizielle Deutsche Charts listing.
Historically, the group’s biggest success in Germany came much earlier. The album Step By Step reached number 1 in the German album charts and spent 36 to 37 weeks on the charts around 1990, showing how deeply their late-eighties and early-nineties work resonated with German listeners, a contrast to the one-week run for Still Kids in 2024 as documented by long-term chart histories.
