Donnie Wahlberg and company has made an official announcement that they will reunite and go on tour.

This announcement is copied directly from the NKOTB website:

"New Kids on the Block will headline Z100/NY's Zootopia, May 17, 2008 at The Izod Center, 50 State Route 120, East Rutherford, NJ 07073. Tickets go on-sale to Z100 ZVIPs only on Friday, April 11th at 4pm. To sign-up, log on to Z100, Keyword: ZVIP."

I can't confirm if this is the kick-off date for the tour but it appears that it is.

Reports that they were going to rename the group "The Old Guys On The Porch" have been dismissed. It is assumed that mean spirited band members of other 80's groups that can't find their way back to the recording studio started the rumors.

Here's the skinny on the "NKOTB" reunion Tour.
