Backstreet’s Back
The Backstreet boys are back in Australia for a whistle-stop tour with brief visits to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
The tour kicked off last night when the international pop sensations performed their first of three Australian concerts at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre with special guest Irish singer Brian McFadden, opening the show.
The four-man band has just come from Japan as part of their world tour to promote their latest album Unbreakable, and say they’re excited about the Aussie leg.
‘We’re thrilled to be coming back to Australia - one of our very favourite places’ said band member Nick Carter.
The band has taken a new direction since their smash hit pop songs dominated the charts in 1997.
‘We’ve got a brand new show for the Unbreakable tour so we’re excited about performing the new songs for the first time and introducing those in concert,’ fellow group member AJ McLean said.
In the 11 years since the release of their first album, the Backstreet Boys have notched up more than 75 million album sales worldwide and have a string of hits under their belt, including I Want It That Way, Millennium, and As Long As You Love Me.
They will perform in Sydney on Friday and Melbourne on Saturday, before heading to Jakarta, Indonesia.
