Looks like One Direction will have some competition on the boy band tour circuit this summer.

 

New Kids on the Block announced "The Package" North American tour today. The tour will also feature the scorching-hot men of 98 Degrees and the swoon-worthy east coast harmonies of Boyz II Men. The tour, which begins May 31 and wraps up July 13, marks the first tour for 98 Degrees in 12 years.

WHAT A JOKE? BANDS? YOU HAVE TO HAVE TALENT AND BE ABLE TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT TO BE CALLED A BAND!

IF YOUR A GUY AND YOU GO TO THIS ......WELL.....ADMIT IT YOUR A FAG! PEOPLE SAY ROCK AND ROLL ISN'T DYING WELL

THIS PROVES IT WHEN YOU HAVE TALENTED MUSICIANS AND SONGWRITERS WHO CAN'T GET A BREAK! THIS IS ALMOST

AS BAD AS AMERICAN IDOL AND THOSE OTHER STUPID SINGING SHOWS!
