The Magic Summer Tour

The Magic Summer Tour was the second major concert tour by American boy band New Kids on the Block. The tour supported their fourth studio album, Step by Step (1990) and their first compilation album, No More Games: The Remix Album (1990).

The tour began only one month after their previous concluded. After the summer leg ended, the tour shifted gears and was renamed the "No More Games Tour", following the announcement of their remix album. Lasting 22 months, the group played over 220 concerts in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australasia.

Background
The 1990 summer tour was sponsored by Coca-Cola and tied into its "Magic Summer '90" campaign that included the infamous MagiCan.

The tour was a commercial success. Both stints in North America landed the group in the top 10 tours in 1990 and 1991. In 1990, the group earned $74.1 million from 152 shows in North America (25 of which were performed during their previous tour).

During an encore performance of "Hangin' Tough" at the end of the second concert held at Saratoga Springs on June 25, Donnie Wahlberg fell through a trap door while jumping off a raised platform. He received scrapes and bruises to his chest, neck, and arms. After being hospitalized for a night, he spent a week recuperating, and the rest of the band continued the next few concerts as a four-piece act.

Notes: • "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" was performed as the third song in the setlist instead of Valentine Girl during the 1990 European dates of the tour

• "Funny Feeling" was occasionally taken out of the setlist for unknown reasons and "I'll Be Loving You (Forever) was performed instead.

• There were shows where the spot in the set list that held both "Funny Feeling" or "I'll Be Loving You (Forever) (depending on the show) were taken off the set list completely and "Games" would be performed right after "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again".

• At select shows in Japan, a rendition of the Jackson 5 song "I'll Be There" was performed during the set list.
