The Backstreet Boys are said to be one of the most successful boy bands in the world, having sold more than 130 million records.
Now the five-piece US vocal group featuring Howie, Brian, Nick, Kevin and AJ is touring again – and making a stop in Germany and Switzerland with their “DNA World Tour 2022” in the fall.
In early 2019, the Backstreet Boys released their tenth studio album "DNA" on the RCA Records label, which was nominated for a Grammy.
The record went straight to number 1 on the US Billboard charts.
In Germany, the album made it to number 2 in the official Top 100.
Backstreet Boys appear on eight dates in Germany
According to tour organizer Live Nation, the Backstreet Boys were last on tour in Europe in 2019 and were able to inspire more than 350,000 fans at the time.
The new tour kicks off in Las Vegas this weekend with four concerts at the Colosseum Caesars Palace on April 8th, 9th, 15th and 16th.
The dates in Germany and Switzerland should take place in October and November.
