Get ready to rock your body because the Backstreet Boys are back to play a special one night only show in the heart of Parramatta.
The larger than life American boy band, who rose to fame in the 1990s with massive hits like ‘Everybody’ and ‘I Want It That Way’, will be performing at Parramatta on Saturday, March 4.
The band will play at the Crown Hotel nightclub as part of the venue’s Eve Saturdays. The club event serves as a special after-party to the Backstreet Boys’ sold-out concert at Qudos Bank Arena.
Promoter and Crown Hotel resident DJ Troy Tannous, who is also known as DJ Troy T, said the show is a great opportunity for people to see the biggest selling boy band of all-time in a more intimate setting.
“With these [shows] we have a lot of people coming who missed out on buying tickets for the concert,” he told Parra News.
“It’s sort of like a club show which is different to a concert, you get a chance to be closer to the artist and it’s more of an intimate setting.”
Although it’s not yet confirmed which of the group’s five members will be performing at the Parramatta venue, visitors can still expect a once in a lifetime show.
“They’re going to do a 60 minute DJ/vocal set and it’s probably going to be three of the Backstreet Boys,” Tannous said.
“This [event] is strictly limited, the venue holds about 600 people in the room… we plan to sell out.”
With artists like Ne-Yo and Sean Kingston also playing at the Crown Hotel earlier this year, Tannous said they’re “trying to do the most we can for Parramatta” by bringing more major artists to Sydney’s second city.
“With everything opening up now and all the concerts and tours that are happening, as opposed to the last few years, it’s going to make it a lot easier to [bring major artists to Parramatta],” he said.
Due to overwhelming demand for tickets, the Backstreet Boys had to add an extra show in Sydney Olympic Park for their DNA World Tour – their largest arena tour in 18 years.
The Backstreet Boys, made up AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and Kevin Richardson, have sold a whopping 100 million albums.
And while the glory days may be behind them, it appears there’s still a thirst for fans to go down memory lane.
With tickets only going on sale last week, Backstreet Boys fans are being encouraged to quit playing games and get in quick before tickets sell out. Tickets cost $75 per person
