Backstreet’s back, alright, with the world’s biggest-selling “boy band” confirming they will bring their DNA World tour to Australian arenas in May next year.
Since the harmonic five AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, Howie D and Kevin Richardson launched in the mid 1990s golden era for r&b flavoured pop, they are one of the few acts to not only maintain their fan base but remain one of the biggest groups on the planet.
They released their ninth studio album DNA in January this year, reaching No. 1 on the U.S. charts and peaking at No. 5 in Australia.
There are two pre-sales for the Australian shows kicking off with Optus Perks from September 17 with My Live Nation members able to buy tickets from September 19.
General tickets will be on sale from noon on September 23.
