"98 Degrees star Nick Lachey has described the band&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;The Package Tour&amp;#039; with Boyz II Men and New Kids on the Block as &amp;quot;amazing&amp;quot;. The trio of boybands have been headlining arenas all across the US this summer, and will continue on the road through early August.  Lachey recently joked to MTV News that playing to arenas filled with mostly women is quite an enjoyable experience. &amp;quot;Well you know when you&amp;#039;re onstage and there&amp;#039;s 16,000 women screaming at you, it&amp;#039;s just miserable. It&amp;#039;s the worst working conditions,&amp;quot; he teased. The singer went on to say: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s amazing! Every night is a great new crowd, full of people who want to be there &amp;#039;cause they love the music, they love the groups.  &amp;quot;A lot of people, obviously, it&amp;#039;s the &amp;#039;Package Tour&amp;#039; so insert your own joke there, but it is a great package.&amp;quot;  Lachey also quipped that 98 Degrees, Boyz II Men and NKOTB try their best to create a party atmosphere for their fans. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s hard to describe the amount of anticipation these women have for the moment they get to come and meet [NKOTB&amp;#039;s] Donnie Wahlberg or meet [BIIM&amp;#039;s] Shawn Stockman or meet Drew Lachey. It&amp;#039;s a cool vibe going on backstage,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a lot of women; there&amp;#039;s a lot of tailgating and pre-partying going on, which we encourage. We always sound better when people have had a few drinks. But, no, it&amp;#039;s just a lot of fun top to bottom, a great show and the crowd&amp;#039;s been great!&amp;quot; 98 Degrees star Justin Jeffre recently expressed hopes that the boyband will continue working together beyond their tour.
