American boy band Backstreet Boys have announced extended dates for their upcoming DNA World Tour 2022. The shows will commence at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, on April 8, 9, 15, and 16.
Backstreet Boys have also announced additional stops in major US cities, including Nashville, Portland and Memphis. The band will then proceed to Europe, beginning their tour in Portugal on October 3.
Tickets will be available for the general sale on Friday, April 8 at 10:00 am PST and can be purchased from Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
AJ McLean, in the docuseries, emphasizes the choreography and dancing of the band:
"There's a formula that works. If you look at the boy bands today, they're more vocal-based or they're musicians. That's the boybands of 2017 and on. We've always been showmen. I think that combination of being able to sing live, not lip-syncing, and dance at the same time, that's a huge upswing for us."
