New Kids On The Block (NKOTB) brought their Mix Tape Tour to The Shottenstein Center on Saturday night and boy did they bring the party with them! En Vogue, Salt-N-Pepa and Rick Astley added plenty of their 80’s and 90’s flavor into the mix for a great night of nostalgia and fun!

New Kids On The Block perform at The Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio 6.25.22

Alternating between the main stage and a center island, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, and Danny Wood wooed the crowd with plenty of their hits, dance moves and costume changes. In fact, the show resembled a massive bachelorette party as throngs of women screamed their approval during the ab flashing, crotch grabbing and booty shaking.

The guys were big on getting right into the crowd to shake hands, pose or take selfies and really appreciate their fans up close and personal. Donnie Wahlburg even donned a buckeye necklace as they launched into The Ohio State fight song during the show!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
En Vogue was fire when they commanded the main stage, powering through their biggest hits “Free Your Mind”,”Never Gonna Get It” and others. Cindy Herron  even had a cast on her leg but that didn’t deter her from carrying on with Terry Ellis and Rhonda Bennett in their powerful performance.

 
 
 
 
 
Salt-N-Pepa completely killed it, strutting across the stage and owning it 100% while belting out their late 80’s and early 90’s hits “Push It” ,”Shoop” and “Let’s Talk About Sex.” They were accompanied by male dancers onstage, and also by members of En Vogue for a rendition of “Whatta Man.”

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Rick Astley also performed his big hits “Never Gonna Give You Up” and “Together Forever” during the show.
