The Boys will be back in town.
The Backstreet Boys are confirmed to play the SkyDome on Feb. 7 as part of the first leg of their Black & Blue North American tour, which kicks off Jan. 22 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Tickets, $79, $49 and $29, go on sale Saturday at Ticketmaster at 10 a.m., or can be charged by calling 870-8000. There is a limit of eight tickets per person, and an advance random wristband policy was in effect as of 5 p.m. yesterday.
Last week in New York City, the Backstreet Boys held a press conference to promote the release of their new album, Black & Blue, and discuss the tour. BSB member Howie Dorough said their new stage is going to be at the end of the arenas as opposed to the "in the round" setup they used on their last road trip.
The group plays mostly arenas in North America up until March before heading to Mexico, South America and Europe, and then returning to play a second leg of North American shows in stadiums during July, August and September.
