Backstreet Boys add second show in Israel
They've still got it! After American boy band's first-ever concert in Israel sold out in an hour and a half, second show added to fans' delight.
After over 20 years in show business, the Backstreet Boys proved they've still got it when their first-ever concert in Israel sold out within an hour and a half last week. Following the surprising demand for the first show, and pleas from many fans who could not get a ticket, a second show was added, to the delight of the Israeli crowd.
Watch the band's special message to its Israeli fans:
The Backstreet Boys will now wrap up their 145-shows-long world tour "In A World Like This" in Israel with two shows on July 29 and 30.
One of the most successful pop groups of all times, the Backstreet Boys sold over 130 million albums worldwide and recently got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The band, that formed in 1993 in Orlando, includes Kevin Richardson, his cousin Brian Littrell, AJ McLean, Howie Dorough and Nick Carter.
The band's greatest success was in the late 90s, when hits like "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)", "Get Down (You're The One For Me)," "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)," "I Want It That Way" and "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" topped the charts.
Fans can expect to hear the band's greatest hits, along with tracks from the 2013 album "In A World Like This," that was the band's first independently-released album since leaving their record label in 2010.
Tickets for the July 30 show, also at the Ra'anana Amphitheatr, will go on sale Tuesday morning at 10 am.
Only 8,000 tickets are available for each show. Five hundred standing tickets for the second show will be sold at NIS 269 (about $77). The rest of the tickets' prices will range from NIS 359 ($104) to NIS 995 ($288).
