Monday May 30

New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys at Mohegan Sun Arena
Mohegan Sun
Get out your Nick Carter shirt and bring back your teen years to dance the night away with these two boy bands.  I saw Backstreet last summer at Mohegan with the girls and we had a blast.  Songs such as  “You Got It (The Right Stuff)”, “I Want It That Way”, and “As Long As You Love Me” will surely be heard.  Show starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets can run you $70 to $95, but it was so worth it!
