New Kids on the Block is choosing to re-live two pivotal moments in their career: A reincarnation of the 1990 “Magic Summer Tour” in the form of a three-month trek in 2024 and the rerelease of 2008’s “The Block,” an album that relaunched the band’s career after a 14-year hiatus.

“The Block: Revisited” features remixes, interludes in the form of voice memos from Wahlberg’s late mother and McIntyre’s late father plus all of the original tracks. Collaborators from the 2008 release included New Edition, Ne-Yo, Akon and at the time, an up-and-coming singer/songwriter named Lady Gaga, who was promoting her debut single, “Just Dance.”
