While we’ve gone to tours just to see the first opener, nothing is as exciting as a solid tour lineup from start to finish. So we were thrilled when Andy Grammer announced that AJR and American Authors are joining him on tour this Summer! AJR’s Ryan Met has penned tracks for Andy, including “Back Home” from his latest album. Both AJR and Andy started their music careers by busking – AJR in New York, Andy in Los Angeles. You can see the influence in their performing styles – they sure know how to win over a crowd. We hope they’ll join forces for a song or two on stage.
As if this wasn’t enough awesome for one evening, American Authors will also be on the lineup. Tickets go on sale this Friday, May 15th. Check out the tour dates below!

In case you haven’t noticed, we are insanely excited about The Main Event Tour happening this summer. NKOTB, TLC, and Nelly performing together on one stage? It’s guaranteed to be a nonstop party. Not sure about you, but we’ll be attending at least two shows. Check out all of the tour dates HERE! Here are some of the songs we can’t wait to hear this summer!
1. NKOTB – “Block Party” The ultimate opening song, and NKOTB says it best: “Leave your troubles all behind only good times here tonight.” We still know all the choreography from The Package Tour.
2. TLC – “No Scrubs” One of our favorite songs of the late 90s – we can’t wait for an arena-wide singalong.
3. Nelly – “Hot In Herre”
We’re imagining some sort of onstage collab between NKOTB & Nelly for this song, especially since NKOTB have done some “Dirty Dancing” to this song in the past.
4. NKOTB – “Cover Girl”
If you’ve seen NKOTB on tour before, then you might also know this song as “that song when Donnie rips off his tank top.”
5. TLC – Waterfalls Throwing it way back to the days when we had to record songs off of the radio to cassette tapes on our boom boxes so we could listen on our Walkmen. (Kids, if you have no idea what we’re taking about, watch this. You have no idea how easy you have it now)
NKOTB don’t just have concerts, they throw massive block parties. In 2011, they joined forces with Backstreet Boys to create the supergroup NKOTBSB, AKA the greatest event that has ever occured in fangirl history. 2013 brought us The Package Tour, as NKOTB recruited Boyz II Men and 98 Degrees into their boyband posse, for yet another unforgettable tour.
This summer, NKOTB are bringing TLC and Nelly out on The Main Event Tour! It’s their first North American tour in two years, and features an all new, 360 in the round stage. And if you’ve ever seen the New Kids on tour, you know that they totally BRING IT each and every night on stage. We can’t wait to see what happens on tour, especially anything involving Donnie or Jordan. Welcome to the Block Party.
Pre-sales start this Thursday, January 22nd for Blockhead members, and the public on sales are January 31st. Visit NKOTB.com for more info.

This weekend marks the official start of summer, which means concert season is in full swing! And we’re seeing the Backstreet Boys on Sunday! It’s hard to believe BSB have been together for 21 years now, and after all this time they’re still going strong. And they’re one of the few bands that have never let us down over the years. We love that they brought back their original music video choreography for tour. In honor of the In a World Like This Tour, here are our five favorite BSB videos! (It was extremely hard to not make this a Friday Ten…)
1. “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)”
This is probably the most iconic boy band video of ALL TIME. Why are they monsters? Nobody knows. But seriously, you haven’t lived until you’ve seen Backstreet Boys perform “Everybody” live, with the entire crowd doing the choreography. And have you caught the ending of “This Is The End?” Apparently in heaven everyone knows the “Everybody” dance.
2. “Larger Than Life”
Budgets for music videos were much bigger in the 90s, like in this video when BSB went to outer space. AJ is also probably the only man on earth who can pull off a mesh cropped top. (He’s got the abs for it!) We’re still not sure why they always insist on keeping Nick so under wraps in these videos (first he’s a mummy, now a robot?)
3. “I Want It That Way”
The video has over 98 million views on YouTube for a reason. Another iconic boy band video, which has been spoofed by Blink-182 and paid homage to by Big Time Rush. We still get chills every time we hear Nick sing The Note. (You know the one). And that sad fangirl wave to Brian at the end? We totally know your pain.
4. “Quit Playing Games With My Heart”
Otherwise known as that video where it starts raining and they dance around and get their button down shirts and baggy pants soaking wet for no reason. Howie D just totally takes it off. Poor Brian had to keep his shirt buttoned because of his scar from heart surgery! We are full of important 90s trivia facts like this, which we probably learned from TRL, Making the Video or Popup Video.
5. “As Long As You Love Me”
The CHAIR DANCE! One of our fondest memories of middle school is when all the boys in our class blasted this song from their walkman, and attempted to recreate this chair dance during homeroom. The key word being attempted.
Bonus. “We’ve Got It Goin’ On” This might be the best song to dance to, ever. And their wardrobe is on point. Layered denim and leather? Check. This is also the song with the prayer dance.
Just do yourself a favor and head to the Backstreet Boys Vevo page and hit play all, it’s Friday. We’ll be rehearsing our choreography for Sunday’s show.
Get ready Mahomies! Austin Mahone just announced 2 new dates for his summer tour with The Vamps and Fifth Harmony! The shows are in Foxwoods, Connecticut and Boston, which were previously not included on the schedule. Pre-sales for Mahomies.com members start tomorrow, June 17th at 10AM! VIP packages will be offered as well. Visit AustinMahone.com for all the details!
We don’t know about you, but after seeing Austin’s short set at Summer Jam, we think we might need to go to more than one date on this summer tour! Here’s a little preview of what you’ll be seeing on tour.

Before they join Demi Lovato’s World Tour this fall, breakout group MKTO are heading out on a North American tour this summer! Former “As The Bell Rings” cast member, Tony Oller, and former “Lost” cast member Malcolm D. Kelley, came together to form the duo. We caught MKTO at 106.1 BLI’s Summer Jam 2014 this year and they know how to get a crowd on it’s feet. These guys really connect with their fans and had Jones Beach rocking as the sun went down!
