TORONTO \u2014 Hit ’90s boyband The Backstreet Boys are adding more tour dates to their Toronto residency.<\/p>\n
What was first announced as a four-night run at Rogers Centre has swelled to 11 shows, with the band’s recent announcement they’re adding concerts on March 5 and 6.<\/p>\n
The band says on its website the new dates were added “due to overwhelming demand.”<\/p>\n
Dubbed “Into the Millennium \u2013 Homecoming: Live in Canada,” the residency will kick off on Feb. 12.<\/p>\n
Apart from two shows scheduled at Las Vegas’ Sphere venue, the 11 performances in Toronto are the band’s only shows in 2027.<\/p>\n
The concerts will draw on the group’s 1999 album “Millennium,” which included hits such as “I Want It That Way” and “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back).”<\/p>\n
“You guys have blown through these tickets and we truly didn’t know the demand would be THIS BIG so we are adding TWO MORE SHOWS on March 5th & 6th so as many of you as possible can experience ‘Into the Millennium – HOMECOMING: Live in Canada’ with us!” a post on the band’s Facebook page said.<\/p>\n
“Can’t wait to see you all there!!”<\/p>\n
The Backstreet Boys and Canada have a history: the band had their first North American breakthrough in Canada \u2014 with 1995’s “We’ve Got It Goin’ On” \u2014 before conquering the United States.<\/p>\n
Their music holds a nostalgic pull for Canadian millennials. Evidently even Drake, who joined the group onstage during their last concert in Toronto in 2022.\u2028<\/p>\n
