Backstreet Boys Head Out On Tour

Oh my God, they're back again! The Backstreet Boys are heading out on tour this summer in support of their seventh studio album, This Is Us. This will be their first North American tour in three years and kicks off June 1 in Orlando, FL.

Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, AJ McLean and Howie Dorough will be making a few stops before heading out on tour this June. The group will be in Napa, CA on April 11 to perform a special 8-song acoustic set. On April 14, the Boys will be debuting their latest single, "Bigger," on The Bonnie Hunt Show.

Backstreet Boys: Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLeanEarlier this year, the Backstreet Boys announced via their website that the inaugural "Backstreet Boys Cruise" will set sail December 9 from Miami, FL. The 4-day cruise includes visits in Key West and Cozumel. Fans can expect full performances from the group, Q&A sessions, photo opportunities and much more.

The Backstreet Boys have sold over 100 million records worldwide over the past 19 years. During that time they also had a dozen of Top 40 hits on the Billboard charts, most notably, "I Want It That Way," off their 1999 13x Platinum record, Millennium.

    Um, sorry but they toured North America in 2008 as well. I had front row seats for the Minnesota show.

    sneha bhakta: Like I said in a previous comment, this is the first North American tour they have done in five years. They have done spot shows in the US, but as far as I am aware, not anything that was deemed a "tour." I know they have done a couple European tours over the past few years. And the "19 years" comes from Backstreet Boys' press release.
