The reunited New Kids on the Block will perform their first proper gig alongside modern day pop icons Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers.

The quintet will perform in public for the first time in 14 years when they appear on U.S. morning show Today on May 4th, but the group’s first full show will take place at New York radio station Z100′s annual Zootopia concert two weeks later.

New Kids on The Block will appear on a bill at New Jersey’s Izod Center with Cyrus, Jordin Sparks, the Jonas Brothers, OneRepublic, Simple Plan and Sara Bareilles, among others.

There’s a new ballad on the block!

Nearly 14 years after breaking up, the ’90s boy band New Kids On The Block are back with a new ballad on their official Web site.

The song (its name isn’t revealed) plays over a promotional video for the band that says the Kids once had it all – a $1 billion in album sales, millions of fans, with music that “influenced a generation” – but then “walked away from it all.”

The video next teases the a comeback, asking: “Are you ready?”

The song, a source says, was recorded by all five Kids last November in Orlando.

Who was your favorite New Kid?

After months of speculation and rumor, the Kids are coming back. A well-placed source tells PEOPLE exclusively that New Kids On The Block are indeed getting back together.

The band’s Web site, www.nkotb.com, which had been dormant, is now back up and running in anticipation of the official announcement, which the source says will be made in the next few weeks.

The site currently features a television graphic with a fuzzy, flickering photos of NKOTB in their heyday, and a link inviting fans to sign up for info.

The boy band, which made legions of tweens swoon in the early ’90s, selling more than 50 million albums, became a worldwide phenomenon before calling it quits in 1994.

Eighteen years later, they’re still “Hangin’ Tough.” The oldest “Kid,” Jonathan Knight, now a real estate developer, will turn 40 later this year. Since the band’s demise, former members Donnie Wahlberg, 38, and Joey McIntyre, 35, have seen acting success, while Danny Wood, 38, has worked as a music producer and Knight’s brother, Jordan, 37, has continued to record.
