The O2

The O2, the most popular music and entertainment venue in the world, today announced that two of the biggest boy bands in pop, New Kids On The Block & Backstreet Boys, will bring their NKOTBSB Tour to the iconic venue on Saturday 28 April 2012.

NKOTBSB first shocked and delighted fans when they took the stage together for a medley at the sold out NKOTB Radio City Music Hall show. The two groups wowed audiences again in their first joint televised performance at the American Music Awards almost a year ago in November 2010 and have toured consistently through 2011 since coming together.

With over 200 million albums sold between both bands, and smash hit after smash hit, these two pop sensations have dominated the music scene for over three decades. Aiming to please, these guys are giving concert goers and diehard fans everywhere the ultimate “night out” experience.

“Our fans want us overseas, so that is what we will do,” said New Kids' Donnie Wahlberg. “We have such dedicated fans, and our international fans have been flying to see us stateside for years, so now we're coming to UK.”

“Europe is like a second home for Backstreet so we are all excited to finally be bringing this show to all the fans. NKOTBSB is going international,” added Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys.

New Kids On The Block & Backstreet Boys will be performing at The O2 arena on Saturday 28 April 2012.
