Backstreet Boys, one of the biggest teen-pop groups in 1990s, will perform in Vietnam in late March, according to offical source released on the boyband's webiste.
Backstreet Boys is scheduled to perform in Ho Chi Minh City-based Military Zone 7's stadium in March 24 and to grace Hanoi's My Dinh national stadium two days later.
Thanh Nien reported that they will stay for four days in Vietnam.
According to the website, a total of 55,000 tickets for the two performances will be sold in Vietnam.
A 30-strong technical and support team is expected to accompany the band.
The band consisting of four members A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, Nick Carter and Kevin Richardson, was formed in Orlando, Florida in 1993.
They rose to fame with their debut international album, Backstreet Boys in 1996.
They reached to superstardom with their album Millennium in 1999 and its follow-up album, Black & Blue one year later.
Richardson left the group in 2006 to pursue other interests, leaving the band as a four-piece, but the remaining members did not rule out a possible return of the singer.
The Backstreet Boys have sold over 130 million records worldwide, making them one of the biggest selling artists of all time.
According to Billboard, they are the first group since Sade to have their first seven albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200.
