The Backstreet Boys vow to show Canadian fans they’ve indeed “got it goin’ on for years” with an upcoming series of shows in Toronto in the new year.
The ’90s-era boy band will bring Into the Millennium — Homecoming: Live in Canada to Toronto’s Rogers Centre in February, with a quartet of dates the pop group says are its sole North American stadium shows in 2027.
The group announced the Toronto concerts in a social media post on Friday, with a glitzy promotional video that included shots of the quintet climbing up into a plane emblazoned with their band name and a red maple leaf.
“Canada was one of the first places to embrace us, and the love and support we’ve received from our fans there has meant so much from the very beginning,” group member Brian Littrell said in a statement.
“Coming back feels incredibly special.”
The Toronto concerts follow BSB’s recent successful Into the Millennium concert series at immersive Las Vegas venue Sphere in 2025.
After a host of sold-out shows, that residency extended into this past summer, with handful of additional dates forthcoming around New Year’s Day.
In the meantime, the group has currently brought the production to Germany for 10 shows in Düsseldorf, which the group says was the first country to truly embrace them when they started.
As with in Las Vegas and Düsseldorf, the Toronto performances will celebrate and draw from Backstreet Boys’ 1999 album Millennium, a blockbuster that sold around 24 million copies worldwide and helped cement the group’s status as a global phenomenon.
Millennium included several of the group’s biggest and now signature tracks, including I Want It That Way, Larger Than Life and Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely.
But Millennium‘s songs aren’t all they have to give: the Toronto setlist will also be rounded out by favourites from other albums — Everybody (Backstreet’s Back), naturally — as well as more rarely performed tracks like The Perfect Fan, according to a release from host Rogers and promoter Live Nation Canada.
Ready the hoverboards: Backstreet Boys will descend on Toronto on Feb. 12, 13, 19 and 20, 2027. Tickets go on sale to the public Oct. 9.
