It has been announced that a major ’90s boy band will reunite for a new tour in 2024.
The New Kids on the Block will hit the road for the Magic Summer 2024 Tour in a nod to their hugely successful 1990 stadium tour.
The bandmates – including Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and Joey McIntyre – will hit the road alongside ’90s icons like Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff.
They begin June 14th in Ohio and then embark on a 40-date tour with stops in Phoenix, Dallas and Philadelphia before ending August 25th in Indiana.
Donnie said of incorporating nostalgic elements from the original tour: “The true ‘magic’ of this tour lies in the music, the moments and the memories we create – and recreate – every night with our amazing fans.”

In addition to their Magic Summer 2024 Tour, NKOTB are releasing a special 15th anniversary reissue of their 2008 reunion album, The Block Revisited.
The album features four previously unreleased songs as well as a remix of “Dirty Dancing,” which they collaborated on with K-pop group Seventeen.
They told Entertainment Tonight what they were most looking forward to: “I think, first and foremost, for me was being back with the fans.”
“It just never gets boring, you know?” “Going on stage on the opening night of every tour seems not only more incredible, but also more special, more meaningful and a little louder every time.”
“You might think we’re all slowing down, but in many ways we’re really picking up.”
They announced their plans with a ’90s-themed video, complete with references to MTV’s “TRL” and cassette tapes.
Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday.
