New Kids on the Block, the boy-band that had teen girls screaming as the '80s turned into the '90s, are coming Oct. 21 to Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

The quintet's first tour in 15 years begins Sept. 19 in Toronto, where tickets reportedly sold out in four minutes.

The group, which sang Friday on "The Today Show," has released the single "Summertime," its first studio recording in 17 years.

The members of NKOTB have had varying solo success, most notably Donnie Wahlberg as an actor and Joey McIntyre as a Broadway performer and actor. Ticket information has not been announced.
