I don't know when this was officially announced, but New Kids on the Block are coming to Vancouver in November!!! I am going to apply what I learned from buying Madonna tickets when I try to buy my NKOTB tickets. There are, again, early bird tickets, but I don't think I will be finding a password. However, as an American Express card holder, I am able to buy tickets first. If I need a password, I am out of luck, but if they just need the card, then I pay an extra $3.50/ticket for front of the line tix!! New Kids on the Block was the English-speaking concert I went to. I was 12, I think. I sat in the nosebleeds, and couldn't see them very well. I remember it being really loud and not able to hear them sing since there was so much screaming going around me. At the time, BC Place Stadium had horrible acoustics. I think they have made some improvements now. Anyhow, New Kids aren't playing at that venue again. I also remember thinking that they couldn't possibly be lip-syncing (that was the rumour back then) because they didn't sing *that* well. Maybe they'll have improved after almost 20 years and not having performed for about 15... |

My daughter LOVED them and she is so wanting to see them in concert. The bad part is she was just a 'little' girl when they were so popular, I mean like 4 or 5. And trust me she didn't love 'em because Mom was always listening to "Hangin Tough" or anything like that, I think she just happen to see them on MTV--hmmm maybe that MTV IS a bad thing. heh. Good luck with the tickets :)

Good luck getting the tickets!

BWAHAHAA Maybe you can finally take your daughter to see New Kids! I never had any of their T-shirts or pillow cases...just one button and one VSH "Hangin' Tough" tape. I still have my old ticket stub, though!!

It's OK to admit you were a fan - we won't judge you too harshly ;) (they never wormed their way into my heart either - who can respect a guy who calls himself Marky Mark?? And now look at him....)

Marky Mark declined to be in the New Kids. His older brother, Donnie was in the band, though. Donnie was never my favourite...EVER!

The Backstreet Boys are coming here. Uggh. Sheryl Crow too. We've also recently had Mellencamp, Barenaked Ladies, INXS, Motley Crue and others that never would have been caught dead here before.

OK I won't lie, I thought Marky Mark was scorching HOT long before he graced the Calvin billboards, lol.

Oh she's already started on me about taking her, to which I quickly remind her of the permanent hearing loss I sustained at The Backstreet Boys concert I treated her to when she was 12 or 13!! lol And this from a woman who attended many-a-deafening-concerts in her time, KISS, Foreigner, Foghat, Aerosmith, G&R, (all in the 80s) just to name a few and not one time did I encounter the decibel levels I did at the BSB event. There's truly something to be said about being in an arena with 15-20,000 screaming young girls! It's dangerous folks, lol.

You saw BSB?? BWAHAHAA Did you bring earplugs? Ooh, maybe I should do that for all future concerts. The screaming is the worst part. I'm hoping the now 30-somethings that should be going to see New Kids won't be screaming all night long!

Are you a concergoer now?
Beck is also coming to town! He puts on a good show, but I don't know a lot of his music.

haha i can't believe New kids on the block are going to try and make a come back after 20 years. I was really not a fan the first time around. I think it is funny that their music is being played on the radio more often now haha.

It was announced yesterday on JackFM. I'm a Jackaholic (or however you spell it) member. If I get a password, I'll share.

The last one I saw was April Wine and Kim Mitchell several years ago. I would have loved to have seen Mellencamp, but it was sold out in no time.

Seriously?? Mellencamp sold out in no time?? I wish he was still "Cougar".

Our arena only holds 4-6 thousand. Don't you like him?

Oooh, that means you get rather intimate concerts! I think I only know of his Mellencamp's songs?!??

That's the benefit of smaller venues, but then again, they can be too small to attract major acts. Mellencamp has an awesome catalogue of hit songs.
