Looks like the Backstreet Boys are now up to a dozen shows next year in Toronto.
They will kick off their “Into the Millennium – Homecoming: Live in Canada” on February 12th at the Rogers Centre and finish on March 7th.
The 12-show run eclipses Taylor Swift’s historic six-night stand at the Rogers Centre in November 2024, when fans from around the world swarmed Toronto for the Eras Tour.
In a post on X, the Backstreet Boys expressed surprise at the demand for their shows: “We never thought you guys would be this excited,” they wrote.
The residency will be the band’s only North American stadium shows of 2027.
Canada was actually the launch pad for the Backstreet Boys in North America. Their 1995 track “We’ve Got It Goin’ On” became a massive hit there well before they hit it big in the U.S.
Their music seemingly strikes a nostalgic chord with Canadian millennials — including Drake, who joined the band onstage during their last Toronto show in 2022 to sing their 1999 hit “I Want It That Way.”
