NKOTB, BSB's dream concert at MOA

MANILA, Philippines - From the mid-’80s onwards, they dominated the music and entertainment world with their captivating and enduring sounds that became the hallmark of one of that era’s greatest musical phenomena: The boy band.

More than two decades later, the two legendary pop groups have combined their much-acclaimed acts and embarked on a joint tour that will promote the wonderful music and memories of that era among a new generation of fans worldwide.

New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys (collectively initialized as NKOTBSB, photo), two of pop music’s biggest and most successful acts, will treat millions of Pinoy fans to a once-in-a-lifetime experience during their historic joint international tour that will make a one-night performance in Manila in June.

The boy bands will appear on the same stage in the same venue as they bring back their greatest hits that made them household words in the ’80s and during a dream back-to-back concert on June 3 at the new indoor Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

Billed as NKOTBSB Live In Manila!, the musical presentation from Ovation Productions marks the local concert debut of two of the biggest pop groups in the world that will showcase the enduring sounds of the past generation through an array of their best-loved songs.

New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) will perform the chart-topping hits it has popularized since it started as a boy band in Boston in 1984, such as Hangin’ Tough, You’ve Got It (The Right Stuff), I’ll Be Loving You (Forever), Cover Girl, Step By Step and many more.

The Backstreet Boys has sold over 130 million records worldwide and has been recognized by Billboard as the first group since Sade to have its first seven albums reach the Top 10 on the Billboard 200.
