Backstreet Boys Announce Their Biggest Arena Tour in 18 Years

Backstreet’s back and ready to embark on their biggest arena tour in 18 years. The Backstreet Boys announced a 70-date tour alongside news of their upcoming 10th studio album, DNA, on Friday morning (Nov. 9). They also dropped their new single, “Chances,” written by OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder and Shawn Mendes.

“The journey is ongoing with us and there is so much left to do,” said member Brian Littrell in a statement. “We’re living the next chapter that hasn’t been told yet, and that's exciting.” Bandmate Howie D added, "when this group started 26 years ago -- and through all the highs and lows of our career -- we've had to learn it wasn't about us as individuals but about what's best for the group."  

The DNA World Tour kicks off in Lisbon, Portugal, on May 11 and finishes off its European run in Budapest, Hungary, on June 25. North American dates begin July 12 in Washington, D.C. and conclude Sept. 15 in Newark, NJ.

All tickets purchased to the North American headlining tour come with a physical copy of the new album. Tickets go on sale Nov. 14; click here for more information.
