More men than boys these days, New Kids on the Block nevertheless play nice with others — especially on the package tours they began during 2011 with Backstreet Boys. The best of these have been the two Mixtape Tours the quintet staged during 2019 and again last year, teaming with fellow pop hitmakers for energetic and ingeniously staged nights full of hits from back in the proverbial day. The Philadelphia stop of the 2022 edition — with Rick Astley, Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue — was filmed and will stream starting at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 8, featuring performances by all four acts. Tickets via veeps.com.
