New Kids on the Block brought the house down at the 2026 American Music Awards, delivering a crowd-pleasing rendition of their classic hit “You Got It (The Right Stuff).” The boy band icons commanded the stage with tight choreography, flawless harmonies, and a modern production that seamlessly blended their ’80s roots with contemporary pop sensibilities.
The performance stood out as one of the night’s highlights, serving as both a celebration of the group’s enduring legacy and a springboard for their ongoing Las Vegas residency. The five-member band has been packing Dolby Live at Park MGM throughout 2026 with “The Right Stuff,” a residency that originally launched in 2025 and has since expanded due to overwhelming fan demand.
The AMA appearance was well-timed for the band, who recently announced 16 additional Vegas dates spanning February, June, July, and October. Those extra shows bring their 2026 residency total to 24 performances, cementing their status as Las Vegas mainstays.
By performing “You Got It (The Right Stuff)” on the AMA stage, New Kids on the Block reinforced the song’s place not just in pop history, but as the thematic anchor of their Vegas run. The track’s title and energy perfectly capture what fans have come to expect from their residency: high-energy throwback entertainment that appeals to multiple generations.
The group’s momentum shows no signs of slowing. Ticket sales for their remaining 2026 Vegas dates continue strong, available through Ticketmaster and the band’s official website.
