New Edition will be taking the stage at the 2021 American Music Awards. The superstar R&B group will engage in the “Battle of Boston,” which will set New Edition against another famous Beantown boy band in New Kids on the Block.
This will be the first time that New Edition and New Kids on the Block will share the stage together. Two-time AMA winners New Edition will make a much-anticipated return having last performed at the AMAs in 1997, while this will mark the return of two-time AMA winners New Kids on the Block, who last performed on the show in 2010.
Additional performers include Carrie Underwood, Kane Brown, and Jason Aldean.
