Backstreet Boys to make a stop in South Africa for their DNA World Tour

Backstreet Boys will be hitting the road this for their rescheduled DNA World Tour, including a stop in South Africa.

Presented by 947 and KFM, the American boy band is due to perform at the Grand Arena in Cape Town on May 16 and the SunBet Arena in Pretoria on May 19. Before arriving in South Africa, the group will also perform in China, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and Iceland. The tour is the eleventh concert tour by the vocal group in support of their tenth studio album, DNA, which debuted in 2019.

DNA world tour began on May 11, 2019, but was halted on March 15, 2020, due to coronavirus pandemic concerns. It was the ninth highest-grossing tour of 2019, with a total attendance of 999,242 from 95 shows, as well as a total revenue of $92,310,105. They initially rescheduled the remaining dates for 2021, but eventually had to reschedule again for 2022 and 2023.

The Backstreet Boys have been a major force in mainstream music since their founding in 1993. The Backstreet Boys are the best-selling boy band in history, having sold more than 130 million albums worldwide and achieved multiple chart-topping songs and record-breaking tours.

The group rose to fame with their international debut album, Backstreet Boys (1996). In the following year, they released their second international album Backstreet’s Back (1997), along with their self-titled U.S. debut album, Backstreet Boys (1997), which continued the group’s success worldwide.

They rose to superstardom with their third studio album Millennium (1999) and its follow-up album, Black & Blue (2000). They also released a greatest hits album, The Hits – Chapter One (2001), with a new single, “Drowning.” After a two-year hiatus, they regrouped and released a comeback album, Never Gone (2005). After the conclusion of the Never Gone Tour in 2006, Richardson left the group to pursue other interests. The group then released two albums as a quartet: Unbreakable (2007) and This Is Us (2009).
