98 Degrees and Boyz II Men will tour with them this summer as ”The
Package Tour.”
They’ll play US Bank Arena on June 25. All the tour dates are posted on the 98 Degrees site here. The tour starts May 31 in Uncasville, Conn. Tickets go on sale Feb. 2.

after they finished their album. NKOTB will release its first album in
more than four years on April 2.
