Fans of Aerosmith and New Kids on the Block won't want to miss a thing when the bands, which both have local roots, play back-to-back shows at Fenway Park in September.

Live Nation announced Monday that Aerosmith would perform on Sept. 18, marking their first performance at the ballpark since 2010.

New Kids on the Block and Bell Biv Devoe will perform at Fenway Park the following night, Sept. 19.

It's the only show New Kids on the Block are scheduled to play in 2020. The show will be the third time the group has played Fenway since 2011.

Tickets for the Aerosmith show go on sale on Jan. 31 at 10 a.m.; tickets for the New Kids on the Block performance will go on sale the same day at noon.

The announcement comes after Aerosmith was honored at the Grammys Sunday night as recipients of the MusiCares Person of the Year award for their charitable work in the Boston community, and performed two songs.

“To be playing in Boston with these legendary artists, in this sacred venue, is an honor," New Kids on the Block member Donnie Wahlberg said in a press release. "We’ll be pulling out all the stops to create a celebration unlike anything our city has ever seen."
