All original members of the group – Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, and cousins Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson – will be returning to the stage throughout the global tour.

And in news that will delight Mancunian Backstreet Boys fans far and wide, the band have now added an extra show here in Manchester, as well as in other locations like Antwerp and Paris.

The boyband has said they ‘can’t wait to see even more of you’ when they arrive in Europe later this year in October.
