New Kids on the Block returns to Charlotte this week for their Magic Summer 2024 Tour, a nod to their 1990 tour of the same name. The tour feature special guests Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff, for an evening of nostalgic ’80s and ’90s hits.

The Boston, Massachusetts boy band formed in 1984, consists of brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, and Danny Wood. They rose to fame with their self-titled debut album in 1986, and their follow-up, Hangin’ Tough, in 1988. Best known for their hits “You Got It (The Right Stuff),” “I’ll Be Loving You (Forever),” “Hangin’ Tough,” and “Step by Step,” they have sold over 80 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling boy bands in history.

Before being universally recognized as a judge on reality talent shows, Paula Abdul was a pop star that got her start as a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Lakers, before being discovered by the Jacksons. After choreographing multiple music videos for Janet Jackson, Abdul signed to Virgin Records, releasing her debut studio album, Forever Your Girl, in 1988. She is best known for her hits Straight Up,” “Opposites Attract,” “Cold Hearted,” and “Rush Rush.”

The one and only DJ Jazzy Jeff will be curating the musical vibes between sets on this tour. Best known as one half of the hip-hop duo, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, alongside Will Smith, he’ll play a mix of nostalgic and contemporary hits and remixes, also showcasing his turntablism skills.
