Background
editNew 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]
