Since the 1988 release of their album, "Hangin' Tough", the New Kids on the Block had performed as the opening act for fellow teen pop singer Tiffany's successful North American tour.

Due to a sudden rise of the group's popularity, Tiffany wound up opening for them on this tour, but they were credited as co-headliners.

During the November and December tour dates, the group released the holiday album "Merry, Merry Christmas" and several of the album's songs were incorporated into the tour's setlist.

History: 9 Years ago, @BackstreetBoys, @NKOTB kick off NKOTBSB tour

by Karah | May 25, 2020 | Backstreet Boys , Boy Bands , History , Music , Pop Music , Videos | 0 comments

Nine years ago today, a new era began – NKOTBSB – at least on stage around North America and then the next year in Europe and Australia.

On May 25, 2011, NKOTBSB performed and opened the tour in Chicago to a sold-out crowd. No one really knew how this tour was going to work, but we learned that night. 

Take a look back at some of these videos. Can you believe it’s been 9 years? Look how far technology has come sing then!

New Kids on the Block aim to recreate 'Magic' on 40-date summer 2024 tour

nkotb 1987 tour dates

New Kids on the Block are going super-nostalgic with their Magic Summer 2024 Tour.

The quintet of Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jonathan Knight, Jordan Night and Danny Wood plan to reimagine their 1990 tour of the same name for a three-month tour that will kick off June 14 in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and play more than 40 cities before wrapping Aug. 25 in Noblesville, Indiana.

Fellow '80s favorites Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff will join the "Hangin' Tough" hitmakers throughout the run.

The group, which has embarked on several successful nostalgia tours the past decade – often with artists who share a similar pop-loving fan base such as Backstreet Boys , TLC and Boyz II Men – hit the road last summer with Salt-N-Pepa, Rick Astley and En Vogue.

This Magic Summer 2024 run nods to their second-ever tour that played 220 shows from 1990-1992 in support of 1990's "Step By Step" album. The original shows featured magic and illusions, but this time, Wahlberg is tagging music as "the true 'magic' of this tour … The moments and the memories that we get to create – and recreate – with our amazing fans each night," he said in a statement.

The 2024 summer tour will primarily play outdoor venues, which is a first for the quintet in 15 years.

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"

HEIDI GUTMAN/ABC/Getty Images

  • 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."
