The trek is now scheduled to launch Sept. 19 in Toronto and visit about 35 cities across the US and into Canada through late November.
The first round of arena shows went on sale earlier this month, and sellouts have already been logged in Toronto, Atlantic City, NJ, Uncasville, CT and Rosemont, IL, according to the New Kids website.
The boy band, whose members are now pushing 40, gave screaming fans a taste of what's to come last week when they performed together publicly for the first time in 15 years on NBC-TV's "Today" show. They followed that with a couple of radio festivals on the East Coast.
Last month, the bandmates--Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood--appeared on the "Today" show to announce they were back together and working on a new album, which is due this fall. Their first new single, "Summertime," is currently available at digital outlets and is streaming at NKOTB's MySpace page.
Concert-goers who purchase a ticket/album bundle will get the "Summertime" MP3 immediately, and their downloads will come with an additional audio program, "The Making of the Album," which includes interviews with the New Kids. Further details are available at the group's website.
