NKOTBSB GOES INTERNATIONAL
NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK & BACKSTREET BOYS
BRING THEIR NKOTBSB TOUR TO EUROPE

NEW YORK, NY – With the continued and insatiable fan demand, the unstoppable phenomenon that is NKOTBSB will officially bring their show to Europe. Kicking off in April, New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys will make stops in Ireland, the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

“Our fans want us overseas, so that is what we will do,” said New Kids’ Donnie Wahlberg. “We have such dedicated fans, and they continue to come out for us time and time again. Our international fans have been flying to see us stateside for years, so now we are coming to them!”

“Europe is like a second home for Backstreet so we are all excited to finally be bringing this show to all our fans there. NKOTBSB is going international,“ added Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys. “We can’t wait to get over there and show everyone the fun we’ve been having all summer long.”

The European leg will bring the historic NKOTBSB tour to 18 stops, giving fans across the globe chances to catch their favorite groups on one stage. Fans overseas can finally see what North American Press hailed as “One of the hottest tickets of the summer,” as described by OK! Magazine. Entertainment Weekly raved “Each tune was performed with the same energy, crotch-grabbing, and hip-thrusting that turned these groups into teens sensations years ago. NKOTBSB may well be the tastiest musical mouthful of the summer.”

Produced by AEG, the NKOTBSB Tour begins April 20, 2012 with confirmed shows through May 14th.

NKOTBSB first shocked and delighted fans when they took the stage together for a medley at the sold out NKOTB Radio City Music Hall show.

BSB BACKGROUND
For more than 18 years, Backstreet Boys have delivered the very finest pop music has to offer – tightly crafted songs, floor-shaking rhythms, and unmistakable harmonies. One of the most successful groups in music history, with countless #1s, record-setting tours, and worldwide sales in excess of 100 million, Backstreet Boys are also among pops most influential. The band made history when all tickets for their greatly anticipated 11-week, 39-city Millennium North American Arena Tour sold out as soon as they went on sale- the vast majority within an hour. At the time the millennium tour set a Ticketmaster¬ record by selling 735,000 tickets in two hours. They are also among the few bands to have received the Diamond Award from the R.I.A.A. for sales of more than 10 million on both the Backstreet Boy’s and Millennium albums. The band is currently wrapping up a worldwide tour in support of their recent album, This is Us.
