“We had a blast out on the first MixTape Tour in 2019, and can’t wait to take it to another level with our fans on the MixTape Tour 2022,” Donnie Wahlberg said. “Just like a  mixtape, these shows are going to take audiences through all the emotions. To be able  to have Salt-N-Pepa come back and now also have the iconic and legendary Rick Astley 

& En Vogue join the tour… we could not be more excited. Let’s GO!” 

The MixTape Tour 2022 is already shaping up to be a can’t miss night out where fans can hear chart-topping hits and legendary catalogues spanning generations all night long. It follows the colossal commercial and critical success of NKOTB’s 2019 tour by the same name – their biggest since reuniting in 2008 – which grossed $53.2 million, sold more than 650,000 tickets and pioneered a super-sized show each night with multiple acts  (Salt-N-Pepa, Tiffany, Naughty By Nature and Debbie Gibson) hitting the stage and reimagining what a special guest on a tour could look like.  

NKOTB will hit the stage on the MixTape Tour 2022 to perform fan favorite #1 hits like  “Hangin’ Tough,” “I’ll Be Loving You (Forever),” and “Step By Step” while tour mates Salt N-Pepa (“Push It,” “Shoop,” “Whatta Man”), Rick Astley (“Never Gonna Give You Up,” “Together Forever”) and En Vogue (“Don’t Let Go [Love],” “Free Your Mind,” “Give It Up,  Turn It Loose,” “Hold On”) keep the party going with music that catapulted them to stardom and solidified their places in music history.  

NKOTB most recently returned to the stage for an epic, one night only, sold out performance at Fenway Park on August 6 in their beloved hometown of Boston, MA. Watch a recap HERE. The show marked their first performance in two years, their third show at Fenway Park, and a preview of the explosive live energy from the group that fans can expect from the MixTape Tour 2022. 

In 2021, Salt-N-Pepa received a Lifetime Achievement Award. 2022 will kick up with Salt N-Pepa dedicating their Hollywood Walk of Fame star. 

During the pandemic, Rick Astley has amassed million YouTube followers with a series of lockdown covers from his studio and become a major force on TikTok with 1.7 Million followers. “Never Gonna Give You Up” was recently featured on the critically acclaimed series Ted Lasso on Apple TV+ and its video has been viewed more than 1 billion times. 

En Vogue celebrated the 30th anniversary of their first album Born To Sing on April 3,  2020, when it was reissued on Rhino Records, closed out the 2020 Billboard Music  Awards with a performance of “Free Your Mind,” and launched their Funky Divas podcast. In March, they appeared with Salt-N-Pepa in Coming 2 America for a show-stopping performance of their hit song “Whatta Man” that was aptly titled “Whatta King” and was featured on the film’s soundtrack. In 2018, they released their album Electric Café, with a  top 10 single (“Rocket”). Recent collaborations have included Snoop Dogg, Raphael  Saadiq and Chance the Rapper.
