More acts from bygone days have decided to go back to work.

The Specials will hit the reunion trail later in the year, this time with Terry Hall onboard for the trip. The band will spend the summer rehearsing for dates from September.

New Kids on the Block are also considering such a move. All five members are to appear on US TV show Today to mark the 20th anniversary of their Hangin’ Tough album, and a tour is expected to be announced.
