Social media has been abuzz ever since the official reveal with no signs of slowing down.

"We always have something special up our sleeves," said NKOTB member Donnie Wahlberg.

With all-new and top-notch production elements, this tour is sure to be the ultimate summer concert ticket as promised. The highlights will include a 360-degree stage "in the round." With no obstructions, the stage set up will offer optimal viewing. The bands have worked hard on the show and staging concept to make sure that everyone in the house has a part of the action, up close and center.

"We are thrilled to be able to join pop icons NKTOB and Nelly on tour. We are equally excited to be back on the road connecting with our fans in such huge arenas," said TLC.
