Jhene Aiko in Phoenix: Ultimate guide to her Footprint Center concert
Jhene Aiko brings her Magic Hour Tour to Footprint Center in downtown Phoenix on Thursday, Aug. 1.
This is Aiko’s first headlining tour in five years. Her performance was hailed as " the most artistically inspired set " of the weekend by The Arizona Republic when she performed at the Pot of Gold Festival in Phoenix in 2019.
"The fact that Aiko's most compelling onstage foil was a female harpist would've been enough to separate her from the pack at this or any other music festival," we wrote.
"But that was merely one of several aesthetic choices that contributed to elevating her performance, which was soulfully subdued and artistically challenging but also focused on connecting with the fans, a side of live performance that too often gets forgotten in shows as artistically focused as Aiko's."
Before Aiko launched the Magic Hour Tour, she brought home raves for her performance at the 2024 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.

Jordan Knight and NKOTB plan to impress hometown crowd with ‘Magic’ Mansfield show
‘there’s always an extra level of energy when we go to the boston area,’ knight said ahead of new kids on the block’s return to the xfinity center this weekend.
![magico tour quito From left: Danny Wood, Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, and Jonathan Knight of New Kids on the Block performed at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on May 25, 2019, in Las Vegas.](https://bostonglobe-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com/resizer/v2/EVNJWNUIQYI6TFN3FZ2NMQLTC4.jpg?auth=5eafd736252117224bab776c9e385fdbfd15689cdd2750bc09e18830c0a98890&width=1440)
It’s been a sizzling summer for Jordan Knight and his fellow New Kids on the Block bandmates as the group has been traveling North America in support of their “Magic Summer 2024 Tour,” a new spin on their legendary 1990s tour of the same name.
The summer concerts have definitely brought the heat, with a July show in Phoenix seeing temperatures peak at 115 degrees, which was a bit “scary,” according to Knight, but that couldn’t stop the boy band from hangin’ tough .
“The heat’s been a factor, but it’s just fun to be outside,” Knight told the Globe in a recent phone interview, noting how their last full tour of outdoor venues was in 2009. “It’s fun to do something different.”
“The tour has been like any other New Kids tour; it’s just a lot of fun,” he added. “A lot of love, a lot of laughs, a lot of excitement.”

When the New Kids embarked on their first magic summer in 1990, the group stopped at the old Foxboro Stadium, but this time around the tour will take over the Xfinity Center in Mansfield on Saturday, accompanied by special guests Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff.
The band has a lot of history with the venue, first playing it in 1988 when it was called Great Woods. Earlier this year, Knight’s bandmate Joey McIntyre praised the amphitheater for providing “an energy to those summer nights underneath the stars.” Knight echoed those sentiments, calling it one of the area’s top places to play alongside spots like TD Garden and Fenway Park.
“Those are all just great venues,” Knight said.
![magico tour quito New Kids on the Block performed at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on May 25, 2019, in Las Vegas. The band returns to Massachusetts for a show at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield on Saturday.](https://bostonglobe-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com/resizer/v2/LSTPSTEUIEI6TMSTQ357OAU63Y.jpg?auth=a39496363476ed3edc3f74a479d33b9b6321f02efb692aa005919ec130b51894&width=1440)
Aside from having nearby friends and family come out to the show, playing in Massachusetts comes with other perks for Knight: He can sleep in his own bed. The 54-year-old singer — who grew up in Dorchester with his brother and fellow boy bander Jonathan — lives in Milton, where he co-owns the restaurant Novara , along with two other spots in town.
“Every winter I’m like, ‘Why the hell do I live here?’ But I’ve never left,” Knight said. “I still live in Milton with my wife. My older son’s moved out. My younger son’s still with us. They went to schools in the area.”
His brother lives in Essex on a farm and, when there isn’t a New Kids tour, can be seen hosting the HGTV series “Farmhouse Fixer” with designer Kristina Crestin. Jordan Knight said it’s always a joy to visit his sibling, whether for fun or to help out on the home makeover show.
“We go up there all the time and celebrate things, birthdays, holidays,” Knight said.
As for the upcoming concert in Mansfield, the New Kids star wouldn’t divulge any secrets, but did tease a few surprises in store for the hometown crowd.
“I will just say, we always cook up surprises,” Knight said. “We won’t let people down.”
Since so many family, friends, and local fans will be in attendance, expect Knight and the rest of the New Kids to bring the right stuff on Saturday night.
“Pardon the pun, but we’re still kids inside. We want to impress,” Knight said. “There’s always an extra level of energy when we go to the Boston area.”

Defending champion Lucas Glover makes sixth career ace at Wyndham Championship
Change Text Size
Lucas Glover has found magic at the Wyndham Championship before.
Last year, Glover entered the Wyndham at 112th in the FedExCup and his victory moved him to No. 49. He went on to capture the FedEx St. Jude Championship the following week in Memphis to solidify his spot in the final two events of the FedExCup Playoffs.
On Saturday during the second round of the Wyndham Championship, Glover found it again. He carded the first hole-in-one of the tournament at the par-3 12th hole. Glover drew in a shot from 189 yards that took two hops and dropped in. It's his sixth career ace on the PGA TOUR.
After significant weather delays due to Tropical Storm Debby, Glover started his Wyndham Championship defense on Friday with a lackluster even-par 70. He opened his second round on Saturday with bogey on No. 10, then added a par at the 11th hole before his ace.
Glover's season could benefit from another run. With six missed cuts in 14 starts and no top-20 finishes, Glover, who is No. 75 in the FedExCup Playoffs and Eligibility Points List, will likely need a solo-24th finish or better to have a chance to move into the top 70 bubble that will advance to the Playoffs. This could be the catalyst he needs.
With six aces, Glover is one shy of the record for most hole-in-ones on TOUR since 2004. The record of seven is currently held by Robert Allenby, Scott Brown and Greg Chalmers.
