Whenever Backstreet feels like it’s at a lull, it feels like there’s nothing happening. But there’s more happening than you think! It may not be happening this moment, but there’s a lot of irons in the fire for our favorite five right now. So while I know (all too well) how hard Backstreet Time can be…I figured now is the best time to refresh on everything we know is happening this year. Or is at least in the works this year. Knowing all this, it’s easier to be patient. And it’s easy to remember how lucky we are as a fandom. It could be worse, our band could’ve stopped existing (like NSYNC, for example. No offense to their fans, just pointing out how lucky we are our group is still together and churning out more and more projects!) So let’s look ahead! ( I’ll be adding things as they get announced and deleting things after they’ve happened. )
Solo Projects
I do cover this in way more detail in another post here. But to recap?
- AJ’s solo album
- Nick’s solo album
- Howie’s musical
- Con appearances!
Basically, even when the group is “quiet” at least one or more Backstreet Boys can’t keep still. In the best of ways!
Backstreet BBQ
Okay so admittedly I know nothing beyond the TMZ article about this. But DUDE, I’d go in a heartbeat. Especially if it launched here in Vegas. But no matter where it launched, at some point it’d inspire a road-trip/fangirl pilgrimage to the restaurant. I actually have to say I’m really excited. I’ve been to a Walking Dead coffee shop in the city they film the show? It’s great. Just the little things that would make you squeal on the inside. And the outside. Lots of squealing. We may not know when this is happening (or if it’ll ever be fully realized) but it’s cool to imagine, right? And we’ve already had some fun dreaming up menu ideas…
The DNA Album and World Tour!
It’s happening guys! I can finally delete my coping with Backstreet Time! We have information, we have a release date. We have SO SO SO MUCH to talk about. I go into a lot more detail on my 2018 Album Updates post and my other post with all the crazy announcements that have come out in November! So please, go read them if you’re not caught up! Cause it’s real! It’s happening people!
#BSBVegas
I know not everyone can do Vegas. But if you can, they’ve added SO many more dates so you have plenty of opportunities! The Vegas experience is like none other. You can walk through the casinos and see more of “our kind” aka fellow fans proudly displaying their fandom! You can check out the BSB elevators, poker tables…though we are still waiting on a BSB Slot Machine. And if you can do Vegas, do it right. You can add in an Afterparty whenever they get announced. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll see more solo events. Nick and Howie both did one back in February so here’s hoping they keep that up! So if you can do it? Make it happen! Life is short, get the concert tickets!
The last dates for the BSB Residency have been announced. I urge you to go see it before it’s gone!
Appearances (Promo!)
The second single is HERE, the album is coming, so there’s got to be promo for all of that! It’s exciting and I’m here for every moment they’ll be performing “Chances” because personally, I love that song. So once again, get hyped fandom family!
The Boys are gonna be the Pentatonix Christmas Special!
Show Dates
So yes, we know about the DNA World Tour. But they also have signed up to do some scattered shows in between! Like the Christmas shows we all know and love! If more get added, I’ll be sure to update. Here’s the ones coming up below!
96.5 All Star Christmas Show!
You can still buy tickets here!
Merry Mix Show in Austin!
Since they’re not stopping in Austin during their DNA Tour I know you guys will definitely want this chance to see them! Buy your tickets here!
Mix 104.1 Under The Tree Acoustic Show!
It’s an intimate performance but you can’t buy tickets, you can only win them!
There’s likely more coming, we just don’t know it yet! I’ll keep updating this post! So stay tuned!
