Backstreet’s back, alright! Get excited because The Backstreet Boys are coming our way.

Yep, you heard it right, the biggest selling boy band of all time (100 million albums sold), The Backstreet Boys, are heading back to Australia in 2020 for a national arena tour. AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and Kevin Richardson have been enthralling fans for more than 25 years and are expanding their massive world tour to Australia starting at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Wednesday, May 20 before visiting Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

Featuring their signature, flawless choreography, costume changes, a pyramid-shaped stage of light, trap doors and giant video screens, Australian fans will be enthralled by their charm, harmonious vocal prowess and incredible back catalogue of mega-hits that we all know and love, such as ‘I Want It That Way’, ‘Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)’ and ‘As Long As You Love Me’, plus songs from their tenth studio album DNA.

They’ll also be previewing their DNA World Tour on 60 Minutes this Saturday, September 15, so super fans stay tuned.

Produced by Live Nation, the Backstreet Boys DNA World Tour – their largest arena tour in 18 years – began on May 11, 2019, with sell-out performances throughout Europe and the United Kingdom and is currently trekking across North America.

Vegas was amazing and the UK, European and US dates have been an absolute party,” says Howie D. “Now it’s time for us to visit our fans all over the world.”

The journey is ongoing with us and there is so much left to do,” added Brian Littrell. “We’re living the next chapter that hasn’t been told yet, and that’s exciting.”

Tickets are sure to sell faster than the speed of light, so get your weapons ready to go to war for those tickets, it won’t be an easy fight.

Don’t mind us, we’ll just be blasting the Backstreet Boys back catalogue and their latest track with Steve Aoki from our UE Booms.
