The Magic Summer Tour was a 1990-1992 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 25,1990 to February 17, 1992. It was sponsored by Coca-Cola and tied into its "Magic Summer '90" campaign that included the infamous MagiCan flop. At the time, it was the second-highest-grossing tour ever in North America, behind only The Rolling Stones's 1989 Steel Wheels Tour. The Magic Summer Tour had an attendance of 3,291,987 fans in 1990, narrowly beating even The Rolling Stones, whose 1990 tour had an overall attendance of 3,253,563 people. 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.
The tour was a commercial success, with a total gross of $74 million ($133 million, adjusted for inflation), making it in of the highest-grossing tours of the decade. 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.
