For fans in Abu Dhabi who’ve followed them since the 1990s, it’s going to be a night of pure nostalgia with the band that produced hits such as “I Want It That Way”, “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” and “As Long As You Love Me”, but the Backstreet Boys remain relevant as ever even with younger audiences through chart-topping music from their 2019 album “DNA”.
Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, and Kevin Richardson will be back in the UAE since performing in Dubai in 2018. The band is taking its DNA World Tour to Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong, before heading to the Middle East in May.
The Backstreet Boys have released 10 studio albums, which have collectively sold over 100 million copies worldwide.
Tickets for the Abu Dhabi concert will be available on sale at 12 pm on Friday, 24 February, from www.livenation.me.
