New Kids on the Block concert chronology |
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",[2] 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[3] and tied into its "Magic Summer '90" campaign that included the infamous MagiCan.[4]
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[5] (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.[6] 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.
