No, it’s not 1990.
Yes, New Kids On The Block just announced their ‘Magic Summer Tour’ — which shares a name with their 1990 tour — that will send them to amphitheaters, arenas and stadiums all over North America from June through August 2024 along with special guests Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff.
That includes stops at Wantagh, NY’s Jones Beach Theater on Aug. 4, Holmdel, NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center on Aug. 8, Saratoga Springs, NY’s Broadview Stage at SPAC on Aug. 11 and Darien Center, NY’s Darien Lake Amphitheater on Aug. 22.
“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 New Kid 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.”
And if you want to feel that magic again, you can grab your ‘Magic Summer Tour’ seats as soon as today.
