Backstreet’s Back – Alright!

By Visit Kingston

Due to the overwhelming demand and in answer to the request of thousands of fans, the Backstreet Boys have extended their In A World Like This tour to reach additional cities throughout North America and return to those markets that sold out so quickly in 2013. With last summer’s crowds as big as 16,000 per night, the In A World Like This U.S. tour became the group’s biggest tour in over 10 years, proving that Backstreet is truly back. Tickets for the Live Nation promoted tour go on sale starting Friday, March 21. 
As of Friday, March 14, fans can RSVP for early access to presale tickets available at 10:00 a.m. local time on Thursday, March 20. Live Nation mobile app users will also have access to presale tickets beginning Thursday, March 20 at 10:00 a.m. local time. Mobile users can text “LNAPP” to 404040 to download the Live Nation mobile app (available for iOS and Android).

“This has been an amazing year!” says Nick Carter. “So much has happened and it just keeps on going. It’s amazing for all five of us to see and feel this kind of response! How can we not come back and show our incredible fans this show?!”

Currently on a sold-out world tour in support of their new album In A World Like This and celebrating 20 years of record-breaking hits, BSB’s extended tour will return to North America on Saturday, May 3, in Moncton, New Brunswick at the Moncton Coliseum, with shows scheduled in Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Vancouver, Seattle and of course, Kingston on Tuesday May 6 at the K-Rock Centre.

‘We’re especially excited to hit so many markets in Canada. It’s been a long time since we were in these markets and are excited to return and see so many of our fans.” says Kevin Richardson.

It’s been an exciting year of honors and accolades for AJ, Brian, Howie, Kevin and Nick. In A World Like This debuted in the Top 5, the group received a star on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame, performed for the President of the United States and made an unforgettable appearance in the Seth Rogen hit film This Is The End, which earned the guys a “Best Musical Moment” award nomination at this year’s MTV Movie Awards (April 13).

“Being a part of This Is The End has been amazing from start to finish!” says AJ McLean. “Seth, James and everyone else in this crew are beyond talented and we were extremely lucky to be a part of this film.”

Tickets can be purchased at all Ticketmaster Outlets, by phone at 1-855-985-5000 or at the Rogers K-Rock Centre Box Office.
