Backstreet Boys to return to Abu Dhabi

The iconic boy band returns to the UAE for an exclusive performance at Etihad Arena this October.

Following the overwhelming success of their previous visit to the capital, which became the quickest-selling arena show in the UAE, the global icons of pop are set to perform once again in Etihad Arena on October 23. 

Following their record-breaking sell-out performance at the Etihad Arena in May 2023, the Backstreet Boys are back by popular demand and fans can expect an unforgettable night filled with their greatest hits, including the singalong songs “Everybody” and “I Want It That Way.” 

Despite Kevin Richardson’s absence due to scheduling conflicts, the remaining members, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, and Brian Littrell, will deliver the complete Backstreet Boys experience.

In early 2019, the Backstreet Boys released their GRAMMY-nominated 10th studio album “DNA” on RCA Records. The album debuted at #1 and features the Top 10 hit “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”. The critically acclaimed single was nominated for the “Pop Duo/Group Performance” GRAMMY in 2019 and marked the band’s return to the Billboard Hot 100 after a decade. Upon its release, the single soared to #1 on iTunes Top Songs and Global charts, charting in over 22 countries.

May 2019 saw the launch of “The DNA World Tour,” the group’s biggest arena tour in 18 years, fueled by the global success of their #1 album. The tour witnessed the Backstreet Boys selling out arenas across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America.

Tickets go on pre-sale on Thursday, August 8 at 12:00 PM and general sale on Friday, August 9 via www.livenation.me, starting from AED295 each.
