The Backstreet Boys, one of the best-selling bands of all time, have announced Middle East, South Africa and India dates, including a performance at Abu Dhabi's Etihad Arena on May 7.

Originally set to wrap up their DNA World Tour on March 15 in Hong Kong, which has already seen them perform in the likes of Madrid, Munich, Budapest, London, Las Vegas, and much more, the group today announced new 2023 dates.

For 29 years the Backstreet Boys have been one of pop’s most influential groups, winning multiple awards and being recognised as the best-selling boy band in history.

In early 2019, BSB released their GRAMMY nominated 10th studio album “DNA” on RCA Records, which debuted at #1 and featured the Top 10 hit “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.”

The critically acclaimed and chart topping single was nominated for the “Pop Duo / Group Performance” 2019 GRAMMY, and was BSB’s first hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 10 years. 

Upon its release, the single went straight to #1 on iTunes Top Songs and Global charts and charted in over 22 countries.

In May 2019, the Backstreet Boys kicked off “The DNA World Tour” - the group’s biggest arena tour in 18 years thanks to the global success of their #1 new album.

The DNA World Tour has seen the group sell out arenas all over North America, Europe, Asia and South America.

Tickets will be available online from 12:00 pm on Friday, February 24.
