From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Magic Summer Tour was a 1990–1991 concert tour by the New Kids on the Block to promote their 1990 album Step by Step . Covering one hundred cities in North America and Europe, it lasted from April 1990 to September 15, 1991. It was sponsored by Coca-Cola and tied into its "Magic Summer '90" campaign that included the infamous MagiCan flop.[ 1] At the time, it was the second-highest-grossing tour ever in North America, behind only The Rolling Stones 's 1989 Steel Wheels Tour .[ 2] When it continued into 1991, it was retitled the No More Games Tour to capitalize on the release of the band's No More Games/The Remix Album .
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.
