Backstreet Boys extend DNA World Tour, add 4 Canadian dates

The Backstreet Boys have just announced a 44-date extension of their ongoing DNA World Tour, adding an entire second North American leg following its success in 2019.

The newly announced dates will take place across the U.S. this summer and fall, with four shows in four different Canadian cities: Vancouver, Quebec City, Montreal and Toronto.

For the second year in a row, the massive trek will promote the band’s latest album, DNA (2019), which served as their first studio record in more than six years after 2013’s A World Like This.

The news was confirmed via the official BSB website on Monday morning.

“What better Valentine’s Day gift could you ask for?!” the band wrote after revealing that all tickets for the new tour dates will go on sale this Friday.

The continuation of the DNA tour kicks off on July 10 in Wantagh, N.Y., before concluding three months later on Oct. 9 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Calif.

After a performance at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on Aug. 9, the five-piece act — comprised of AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell — will play Quebec City, Montreal and Toronto in succession in mid-September.

On what fans can expect of the returning tour, McLean, 42, said: “We give our fans 100 per cent, night after night, putting on the best Backstreet Boys show we can.

“We play our hits, we dance our a–es off and we do it because we love our fans. We can’t wait to take this show on the road again this summer.

“We have the best fans in the world,” McLean added. “They come out to party and they sing at the top of their lungs, and we feed off that energy.”

Before hitting North America, BSB will finish their South American and Oceanic tour this spring.

DNA is now available through all major streaming platforms.
