New Kids on the Block concert chronology

The Hangin' Tough Tour was a concert tour of the boy band New Kids on the Block, launched to support their album Hangin' Tough.

Background

Since the 1988 release of Hangin' Tough, the New Kids had performed as the opening act for fellow teen pop singer Tiffany's successful North American tour. Due to a sudden rise of the group's popularity, Tiffany wound up opening for them on this tour, but they were credited as co-headliners.[1]

Recordings

The group's June 5 concert at the Mayan Theater was filmed and released as Hangin' Tough- Live.[2] The Home video was certified 12× platinum by RIAA for selling over 1.2 million copies in United States.[3]
