BACKSTREET BOYS DNA WORLD TOUR
WHEN: Aug 24 8pm
}Where: Rogers Arena
Tickets/Info: livenation.com
Next year, Backstreet Boys Turn 30.
In preparation for a milestone in its career, Nick his American vocal group featuring Carter, Howardoff, AJ McLean, and cousins Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson announced that he had been postponed. 2021 carries on his DNA. World tour. A worldwide concert series in support of the group's ninth album DNA has been postponed due to the pandemic. Reopened in June this year. The tour will conclude in New Zealand next year and the group will visit Vancouver next week.
It is astonishing to the casual observer that the Quintet is still going strong when most of its contemporaries are consigned to a scrap pile.
The truth is With a five-episode documentary series titled Making of the DNA Tour and a proven draw as a Las Vegas residency act, BSB is stronger than ever. After returning to the Top 10 on DNA, A Very Backstreet Christmas, released in October 2022, proved that the group could still chart seasonally as well.
This is a mid-'90s Swedish Hit Factory-fueled boy whose band's explosive explosion has faded away, and another forgotten pop music trend is next. A mystery to many who believed it would be superseded by the trend. A crew of choreographers spreading the Autotune gospel. The truth is, BSB built on chart-topping predecessors such as New Kids on the Block and others who listen to songs of the indelible kind.
One of the things that always stands out with his many BSBs is that the members harmonize around one of his microphones at press conferences, actually carrying the song without technology. It was a fact that proved that it can be done. The only time this reporter experienced such a display, he was unimpressive, but it was real.
It was an ability that the group repeatedly revived when ripe for a round of nostalgia to share with their grandchildren. The BSB concert is a multigenerational event.
His one way this connection was formed was his joint tour with NKOTBSB and New Kids on the Block in 2011. The tour saw longtime fan favorite Richardson return to the ranks, cementing the pop culture continuity between both boy bands. NKOTBSB co-hit his compilation his album produced a hit with the single "Don't Turn Out the Lights" and on tour won his NewNowNext award for Best New Indulgence. The tour grossed him over $53 million and sold his 650,000 tickets.
All of this is like a lasting cultural memory that BSB is intrigued by can prove that It's increasing the number of pop consumers the same way KISS has been for decades. But like that glam-rock machine, it's the material that keeps punters coming back for more. As with the solo career accomplishments of various BSB members, there is a longevity to the group's recorded legacy, unlike N'Sync, a distant memory to most.
Greatest Hits of the 2001s: Chapter 1 contains 13 songs, at least 8 of which are still played daily on various conventional and digital broadcasting systems. It seems that Many of today's big stars have covered the band's hits, especially I Want it That Way. Charli XCX's Slow Burn his version of the ballad is a fan favorite, and Lil Uzi Vert's reimagining of That Way is a hit. Florida Georgia Line not only covered the group, but eventually collaborated with them on God, Your Mama, and Me.
Few legacy acts can claim the love of pop, hip-hop and country artists.
Initially, it was a safe guess to attribute all of this to the nostalgia built around his BSB. However, their return to the charts with DNA sent the band squarely back to being 'active'. These boys seem to have made the transition to men in the minds of audiences as well.
