In a surprising development, New Kids On The Block, TLC and Nelly have announced a combined The Main Event tour.
TLC recently announced a fan-backed Kickstarter campaign (goal is $150,000) to fund their next album which will be their last. The highest selling female group of all time will join New Kids On The Block and hitmaker Nelly on a Summer tour which kicks off Friday, May 1, 2015 in Las Vegas. The two groups made the announcement earlier today on Good Morning America while Nelly called in from Japan.
Said Donnie Wahlberg of New Kids On The Block:
“We are bringing with us the biggest girl group in the history of music—TLC. This is such a great bill and we have so many hit records and such huge followings that we just want to make it the party of the year. That’s why we call it ‘The Main Event.’ It’s going to be the event of the year.”
