After a series of successful Mixtape Tours, the New Kids On The Block have announced for the upcoming year the “Magic Summer Tour 2024”, which takes the name of the one that positioned them as the first boyband all around world in the early 90s (even though Donnie Wahlberg would add that “ New Edition ” was the very first boyband)

The 2024 Magic Summer Tour is where the magic happens! Fans should expect a summer of fun and nostalgia as the New Kids embark on their first mostly outdoor venue tour in 15 years. NKOTB will be visiting some of the most iconic venues on this tour for a night under the stars, including some of the very same venues that they performed at on the original 1990 Magic Summer Tour.

The sold-out 1990 Magic Summer Tour, sponsored by Coca-Cola & McDonalds, took place at the ultimate height of New Kids’ success, and included multi-night stops at the band’s hometown Foxboro Stadium, Dodgers Stadium, Giants Stadium and many others. The band collaborated with Harry Blackstone Jr. to stage magic and illusions within their performance, impressing fans and the Magic community alike, and even went on to win a Magic award for their contributions to the medium throughout their tour.

“The true ‘magic’ of this tour is in the music, the moments and the memories that we get to create – and recreate – with our amazing fans each night,” said Donnie Wahlberg. “Feeling all the nostalgic feels of the original Magic Summer, with the bond that we’ve shared throughout the years, will make for a most magical time indeed.”

Over 3 million fans attended the Magic Summer Tour worldwide, coinciding with New Kids On The Block’s number-one album & single at the time. Watch New Kids On The Block’s throwback video HERE to see all the 90s nostalgia that will be returning this summer.

New Kids On The Block have come back to life as their official dolls in a brand-new promotional video in support of the upcoming tour. Watch HERE . With cameos from Andrea Barber of Full House & Fulller House (a dedicated BlockHead!) and influencer Brittany Nicole , the New Kids tease the magic in store for their fans this summer and transform into living versions of their iconic dolls.

Since the 1990 Magic Summer Tour, New Kids have continued to be a force with their finger on the pulse of pop culture, making waves once again in 2008, when they reunited for smash-hit album The Block . On November 3, they will be releasing a revamped version of this iconic 2008 comeback album, The Block Revisited , celebrating 15 years since their triumphant return to the music scene.

New Kids have headlined the iconic Fenway Park three times and continue to represent their hometown of Boston with pride. They have sold millions of concert tickets around the world since their return. They have traveled with their fans on NKOTB cruises, as well as held the first-ever NKOTB fan convention, BLOCKCON, which took place earlier this year.

** No support acts or CITI Presale for July 1.

NKOTB Are Taking Their 1990 Magic Summer Tour Back on the Road 34 Years Later: 'It's Redemption' (Exclusive)

"It's a little more personal," says New Kids on the Block's Danny Wood. "I want to make the Magic Summer Tour our best tour instead of our worst"

The New Kids on the Block are going on tour this summer — and it's a bit of a re-do
"I want to make the Magic Summer Tour our best tour instead of our worst," Danny Wood tells PEOPLE
The original Magic Summer Tour ran from April to September 1990, and was one of the top 10 grossing tours of that year

The New Kids on the Block hope this summer is full of magical moments for their fans .

The group — made up of bandmates Danny Wood , Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre and brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight — will soon hit the road for The Magic Summer 2024 Tour , a nostalgic reference to their record-breaking stadium tour of the same name in 1990.

But this time, says Jordan, "We want to do it again and do it right."

The original Magic Summer Tour ran from April to September 1990, and was one of the top 10 grossing tours of that year.

"For me, there are just not a lot of great memories wrapped up in that tour," says Danny, who is featured with New Kids on the Block in the new issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands now. "Things just got too big with the stadiums. We were so far away from the crowd, and we felt this disconnect from their reactions. It just felt like we were going through the motions."

Says Donnie, "We thrive on the energy of our fans, we always have, and we were completely disconnected from them. We were on this massive stage. We probably looked like ants to the audience and they weren't even visible to us most of the time. We just couldn't connect with the fans and I think that didn't help."

The band — who recently released Still Kids , their first full studio album 11 years — says it was a feeling that extended beyond the stage. "It was our biggest tour but, as a group, we weren't as connected to each other as we had been," says Jordan. "Everything had become so big — the stadiums, the fame, the craziness — that we kind of retreated into ourselves."

During the frenzy of New Kids mania in the late '80s and early '90s, the band was on a non-stop touring schedule that had them performing all over Asia, Australia, Europe and North America – with concerts almost every night.

"In the early incarnation of New Kids, they had us on the road constantly," says Jonathan. "We would go on the road for 360 days a year, and just keep going and going. You wouldn't see your family, you wouldn't see your friends, you wouldn't sleep in your own bed. I don't want it to sound like I'm complaining because we had such a amazing experience and we're really thankful and grateful for that, but it was also a lot to go through, especially when we were young kids like that."

As the tour rolled on, the non-stop pace began to take a toll on the group as they dealt with growing up within the confines of the band, which had come together in 1985 when Joey was 12 and the others were young teenagers.

"We didn't feel like we were at our best, I think, or the circumstances weren't the best for us to thrive," says Donnie. "I think most of us look back and say we were growing apart, but we were stuck together every moment of every day for 24 hours a day."

Continues Donnie: "In 1988, we went on tour with one tour bus, and it was one for all and all for one. We were just kids living our dream. And by the middle of that tour, the start of the next tour, everybody started growing up. We were trying to find our own space and autonomy, and to find our own voice in life as young adults."

In 1994, the band decided to take a break to pursue individual projects and passions, before reuniting in 2008 with the release of their comeback album The Block .

Nearly 34 years after the first Magic Summer Tour, Jordan says, "it's redemption" as they reimagine the tour as a reconnected group of friends and artists.

"The sweetness is that we can say all those things because we've had time to revisit that and look back at it with a tender heart and say, 'Wow, those were amazing times, but let's do it again a little bit differently. Let's take all the good parts and leave all the stress and the craziness behind, and just bring the fun,'" says Joey. "We want to do it with about a thousand more percent of presence. This time, we're going to be there mind, body and soul."

Joined by Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff , NKOTB will kick off the tour at the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio on June 14. The group then takes their more than 40-date run around the country, with stops in Phoenix, Dallas and Philadelphia before wrapping up in Noblesville, Indiana on Aug. 25.

Along with performing in some of the same outdoor venues as they did during the early days, the band also says they'll incorporate a few elements from the original tour into their new production.

"We haven't performed outside at these amphitheaters in a long time," says Joey. "There's an energy that comes with that that's exciting. I remember playing those venues under the summer night sky, and that juice and that energy that you can only get from those kind of shows. I know that's going to be a part of the chemistry this summer as well."

Says Danny: "It's a little more personal. It's all about the nostalgia and being out with our fans, and connecting with our fans in a real way. I want to make the Magic Summer Tour our best tour instead of our worst."
