Backstreet Boys Just Announced a New Album AND a World Tour, and We're Freaking Out

It's a great time to be a Backstreet Boys fan! Shortly after dropping their new music video "Chances" on Thursday night, the boy band announced even more exciting news: they're going on tour! After wrapping their current Las Vegas residency, the group will be embarking on a world tour in 2019, but that's not even the best part. They're also releasing a brand new album called DNA, which will be released on Jan. 25, 2019. Can you hear us screaming?

"This era we are exploring each element of our career - spanning 25 years - that have been the building blocks of what we call the Backstreet Boys today!" the group wrote on Instagram. "Thank you all for coming on this journey. Things are about to get interesting!!!!!!" Get ready to rock your body right, because tickets for the tour go on sale very soon. North American tour dates will be open to the public on Nov. 14, while European tour dates will be open to the public on Nov. 16. See all the concert dates ahead.
