The Hangin' Tough Tour was a 1989 concert tour by New Kids on the Block in support their second studio album, "Hangin' Tough."
Tour Background[]
Since the 1988 release of their album, "Hangin' Tough", the New Kids on the Block 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.
During the November and December tour dates, the group released the holiday album "Merry, Merry Christmas" and several of the album's songs were incorporated into the tour's setlist.
