New Delhi: American boy band Backstreet Boys are back in India after 13 years. The band landed in Mumbai on Wednesday, May 3, for their concert scheduled in the city on May 4. The band was spotted at Mumbai airport as they posed for the cameras and selfies with fans before making their way to the car.
They were greeted by the paparazzi on their arrival, and the Indian paparazzi again came up with 'Ikade Ikade (here here)', 'Mumbai Mein Swagat Hai' much like when they did the same at the opening of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in the city. It seems we are up for another memefest.
The band, which has given chartbusters like 'Show Me The Meaning', 'I Want It That Way', 'Shape of My Heart', is every 1990s kid favourite and opens the floodgates of nostalgia every time any of their tracks play.
The band is in India as part of their Backstreet Boys: DNA World Tour, celebrating 30 years of the band. They will be performing in the financial capital of the country - Mumbai, and the national capital - New Delhi. For the Indian leg, Backstreet Boys: DNA World Tour will play at Jio World Gardens, Mumbai, on May 4 and, at Airia Mall in Gurugram on May 5.
The Backstreet Boys, formed in 1993 with AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Kevin Richardson along with Nick Carter and Brian Littrell, had last toured India in 2010.
The band has always been a major crowd-puller in their concerts, enthralling the audience with their performance in sync with pitch-perfect harmonies, matching outfits, and killer dance moves.
The band also released the first episode of their new documentary series Making Of The DNA Tour, giving fans an inside look of the preparation for their highly-anticipated and massively successful world tour - watch it here! Additional episodes will be available on The Backstreet Boys YouTube channel.
