NKOTB Announce Magic Summer 2024 Tour with Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff — See All the Dates!

The New Kids on the Block are bringing the magic back to their fans. 

On Monday, the band announced they are hitting the road for The Magic Summer 2024 Tour, a nostalgic nod to their record-breaking stadium tour in 1990. They will be joined by DJ Jazzy Jeff and Paula Abdul — who previously performed with the New Kids on their Total Package Tour in 2017 — on a string of North American shows at mostly outdoor amphitheaters and venues.

With members Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight, 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 venues as they did during New Kids mania in the early '90s, the band also says they'll incorporate some elements from the original tour into their new production. 

“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," Wahlberg said in a release. “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.”

In the spirit of throwbacks and nostalgia, the New Kids followed up their announcement with a new promotional video featuring the five members coming to life as their once-popular line of dolls, which were sold during the height of the boyband's popularity. Along with showing the singers dressed in exact replicas of their dolls' clothing, the clip (see below) also includes a surprise cameo by Fuller House star Andrea Barber.

In addition to the new tour, the New Kids will release The Block Revisited, a special 15th-anniversary edition of their 2008 reunion album The Block, on Nov. 3. The deluxe collection features four previously unreleased songs, additional bonus material and a remix of their single “Dirty Dancing” featuring Joshua, DK and Dino from K-pop supergroup Seventeen.

When it was originally released in 2008, the comeback album featured the hits “Summertime,” “2 in the Morning” and “Single,” as well as collaborations with the Pussycat Dolls’ Nicole Scherzinger, NE-YO and then little-known singer Lady Gaga, who performed on the song “Big Girl Now” and opened for the group on their first reunion tour.  

Ticket sales for The Magic Summer 2024 Tour will begin with the fan club presale on Wednesday, Nov. 1. Presales will follow throughout the week, before the general public on-sale begins Friday, Nov. 3 at 10 a.m. See below for a full list of tour dates.
