PRESS RELEASE:

Montreal, May 3, 2010 — evenko and Live Nation announced today that the Backstreet Boys will perform in Halifax, Saint John and St. John’s (NFLD) on August 18, 19 and 21. Tickets will go on sale Saturday, May 8 at all regular outlets.

For more than 16 years, Backstreet Boys have delivered the very finest pop music has to offer tightly crafted songs, floor-shaking rhythms, and unmistakable harmonies.

The new This Is Us showcases their preeminent pop mastery with a collection of indelible tracks that surely rank among their biggest and best hits. After mastering an organic, more adult contemporary flavor on 2005’s Never Gone and 2007’s Unbreakable, the new album sees Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, and AJ McLean revisiting the groundbreaking dance-pop sound that first made them international superstars. Songs like “PDA,” “Bye Bye Love,” and the RedOne-produced first single, “Straight Through My Heart” are classic Backstreet Boys, bursting with big hooks, unforgettable melodies, and high-energy rhythms that both highlights the group’s classic sound and vision while also placing it squarely in the here and now.

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 pop’s most influential. Turn on the radio and you are certain to hear massive melodies melded with Eurodance grooves, a modern pop style inextricably rooted in the group’s innovative approach.

Once again, tickets for all shows will go on sale this Saturday. The Backstreet Boys are yet another addition to Atlantic Canada’s very diverse lineup of concerts this summer.
