Famous boy band Backstreet Boys put on their first live concert in Vietnam at Ho Chi Minh City-based Military Zone 7's stadium Thursday night.
The show, titled This is us, started their Vietnam tour which includes Hanoi as a second destination.
Despite a 30 minute late start, Military Zone 7’s stadium was bursting with deafening cheers as the four men stepped onto the stage.
For two hours, the band sang their heart out with songs that once made their name to the world and topped many music charts, from romantic pop ballad "Show me the meaning of being lonely" to more catchy "Larger than life".
Thousands of fans showed up to watch the show and enjoyed music although tickets costs from VND500,000 (US$25) to VND2 million for first-row tickets.
The band flies to Hanoi today to get ready for their show at My Dinh Stadium on March 26.
