They were one of the original and the best in terms of 1990s boy bands, and now the Backstreet Boys are coming back to Dubai.

Need a little reminder of their sound? We’re so glad you asked.
The group, made up of Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, AJ McLean, Howie Dorough and Brian Littrell, first formed in Florida in 1993. They enjoyed global superstardom throughout the late 1990s.
Along with *Nsync, they were the one of the defining pop groups of the era, known for their vocal harmonies and R&B influence.

Other acts for Blended are yet to be confirmed.
“We cannot wait to bring one of the biggest boy bands of the 90s back to Dubai this April,” said Girish Bhat, managing director at promoter Done Events.

The year before saw Elvis Costello and Diana Krall take the stage, so we’re interested to see who will join Backstreet Boys on the bill.
