The Magic Summer 2024 Tour is the current eighth headlining concert tour by American boy band New Kids on the Block. Their first headlining tour in ten years, it is in support of their eighth studio album Still Kids (2024). The tour began on June 14, 2024, in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio and will finish on August 25, in Noblesville, Indiana. This is their second tour that has the same name as one of their previous tours.

Background

New Kids on the Block appeared on Good Morning America on March 5, 2024, to announce their new album and tour.[1] The band said that they decided to use the name Magic Summer Tour to redeem themselves for their performances during their 1990 tour of the same name. The band's singer Danny Wood said, "I want to make the Magic Summer Tour our best tour instead of our worst." Wood also stated that he felt like the band was "going through the motions" in their 1990 tour, and that they wanted to reconnect with their audience.[2]

Critical reception

Jim Harrington of The Mercury News attended the Mountain View show, and mentioned how Donnie Wahlberg took much of the lead during the show saying, "Wahlberg's big personality – which towers over his actual singing and dancing talent – turned out to be the best part of the night."[3]
