Overview

Backstreet’s back, and this time with Kevin.

With more than 130 million album sales to their name, the Backstreet Boys are one of the most successful boy bands to have ever stepped foot on planet earth; they're larger than life, you might say…

Despite their raging success and poster boy good looks, the group’s career hasn’t been without its obstacles. In 2005, cracks in the pavement began to show when the tall, dark and handsome one, Kevin, decided it was best to part ways from the group to pursue other interests - namely a singing/modelling/acting career. The remaining four: AJ (the bad boy), Brian (the boy-next-door), Nick (the heart throb) and Howie, refused to break the hearts of their fans, so soldiered on and released two aptly titled albums: Unbreakable and This Is Us.

After being given the once in a lifetime opportunity to support fellow musical sweethearts New Kids On The Block, Kev quit playing games (with his heart), and rejoined the Backstreet Boys onstage. The reunification spurred the group’s eighth album, In A World Like This, and a tell-all documentary titled, Show Em What You're Made Of.

Now all grown up, the man-band are set to perform in New Zealand for first time since 2010.
