It’s the news that Australian fans have been waiting a very long time to hear – US supergroup the Backstreet Boys are touring Australia for the first time ever, bringing their acclaimed ‘Never Gone Tour’ to Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne early next year. Arghhhh!!! (You can start screaming now).

Yes, it’s time to get very, very excited – Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean and Kevin Richardson are indeed heading our way to play four absolutely sensational shows in January and February 2006.

The guys will be showing off their awesome new album ‘Never Gone’, which features the #1 smash ‘Incomplete’, top ten hit ‘Just Want You To Know’ and brand new track ‘I Still’. The third cut from the album, ‘ Still’is a classic BSB ballad and is set to follow in the footsteps of the guys’first two stunning singles.

“It’s more organic, with more live instruments,” says AJ of the album. “If we kept on doing what we used to do – with the way music sounds today – people wouldn’t care anymore. We had to step ahead of ourselves.”

Overseas reviews of the boys’ latest shows for their brand new Never Gone Tour prove that despite their recent hiatus, the Backstreet Boys have not lost any of their energy, panache, style or appeal:

“It’s too much of a cliché to say the Backstreet Boys are back, so instead: Man! Have they still got it!” – The Buffalo News (New York)

“Though the maturity level of their music and performance has undeniably increased, the boys proved that they still knew how to get a party started. The show was filled with not only a superb musical experience, but with tons of special effects, such as lasers, artificial snow, fireworks, video clips and the amazing choreography which made them the kings in the ’90s boy band era, and a legendary part of music history.” – Staten Island Advance (New York)

“Perennial teen idols the Backstreet Boys have still got it… It was non-stop screams of delight from the moment the Boys took to the stage last night.” – The Gazette (Montreal)

Australia, now it’s your turn! Tickets to the shows go on sale Friday December 2, so be quick to get your tickets, because who knows when these guys will be back again!
