### Backstreet Boys Gear Up for DNA 2026 World Tour: North American and European Dates Confirmed!
Get ready to crank up the nostalgia and hit those high notes—because the Backstreet Boys are lacing up their sneakers for the DNA 2026 World Tour, an electrifying extension of their blockbuster 2019 album promotion that’s already got fans worldwide in a frenzy. After selling over 3 million tickets on the original DNA run, spanning arenas from North America to Asia, the boy band kings are back with a vengeance, blending timeless hits like “I Want It That Way” and “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” with fresh energy from their upcoming studio album. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a global love letter to the fans who’ve kept the flame alive for three decades, promising high-octane choreography, heartfelt ballads, and those signature harmonies that defined a generation.
Tickets for confirmed North American and European dates went on sale November 8, 2025, with fan club presales kicking off two days earlier— and wow, the rush is real. A slew of European shows have already sold out in record time, leaving scalpers scrambling and secondary markets buzzing. Cities like Lisbon, Portugal (kicking off the Euro leg on October 3, 2026), Manchester, UK, and Berlin, Germany, vanished faster than a millennial’s flip phone, thanks to die-hard Backstreet Army members snapping up seats. If you’re eyeing those, check resale platforms now before prices skyrocket. North American fans, fear not—plenty of spots remain in major hubs, but with demand surging, they’re evaporating quick.
