The Backstreet Boys, who will celebrate their 30th anniversary next year, have kicked off a suitably giant North American and global trek. The DNA World Tour boasts 60 U.S. dates, 25 European shows and 25+ appearances in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The Ron Laffitte-repped lads will begin 2023 in Brazil with four performances (including two São Paulo soccer stadiums, thank you very much), totting up 1.2m tickets sold and $100m+ in gross revenues on the current run alone—not counting 2019’s DNA arena gigs before the pandemic-enforced shutdown. The pics seen here are from the group's sold-out 6/4 concert in Chula Vista, Calif., which will give you some idea of the energy and fan ardor at these gatherings.
Now that you’ve perused the stats, you may resume screaming in adoration. We know you stan the BSB.
