-----------------

(1/23/15) It may only be mid-January but we already have a contender for most random package tour of the year following the news that New Kids On The Block, TLC and Nelly are to join forces for a North American trek dubbed The Main Event.

The unlikely touring buddies will kick off their run of summer shows at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center on May 1 – tickets for which are available on TicketIQ at a get-in price of $117 – and will take in a further 40 performances before wrapping up at Buffalo’s First Niagara Center on July 2 ($127).

No strangers to the concept of the joint tour, New Kids On The Block have shared the stage with the likes of Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men since their 2008 reunion, but this latest match-up is easily their most intriguing to date. 

TLC, who recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund their fifth album, have played a number of one-off shows since the death of founding member Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes, but this will be their first major tour since their Fanmail trek back in 2000.

Nelly, who will soon appear on the big screen in Jennifer Lynch’s mystery thriller A Fall From Grace, will also make his return to the US live scene after completing his current Australian tour with fellow rapper Lupe Fiasco.

There are still plenty of tickets on offer at TicketIQ for most dates with the June 16 show at Columbus’ Nationwide Arena currently with the lowest get-in price at $79 and the June 21 gig at New York’s Madison Square Garden with the highest at $370.

Fans should expect to hear the majority of the eleven US number ones the three acts have amassed between them including “I’ll Be Loving You (Forever),” “Hangin’ Tough” and “Step By Step” (NKOTB), “Creep,” “Waterfalls” and “No Scrubs” (TLC) and “Hot In Herre,” “Dilemma” and “Shake Your Tailfeather” (Nelly).
