Story summary

The Backstreet Boys have added an extra show to their Toronto residency at Rogers Centre, bringing the total number of concerts in 2027 to a record-breaking 12 shows. This extension comes in response to "overwhelming demand," doubling the venue's previous record of six shows set by Taylor Swift during her Eras Tour in 2024. Thirty-five-year-old Vancouver fan Chelsea Smith exemplifies the fervor, having already spent around $600 on tickets for two Toronto concerts after attending their Las Vegas residency last year. The band’s continued popularity among millennials is seen as a testament to the enduring power of nostalgia.
