Background
“ We were all on tour, not together at the same time, but we were pretty close on the road. NKOTB were wrapping up their summer run. We happened to be out and we ended up being on stage together. It was a magical moment [...] none of us will never forget. Right after we performed together everybody on Twitter and Facebook...it was everywhere that we were going on tour. So we started talking about it and we made it happen.[3] ” During the summer of 2010, the Backstreet Boys joined New Kids on the Block onstage at the Radio City Music Hall (as a part of NKOTB Casi-NO Tour), where the groups performed "I Want It That Way".[4] Since the performance, the media began to circulate rumors of the two uniting for a tour in the summer of 2011.[5] The tour is created by Live Nation Entertainment as an outlet to reignite the boy band fad in the United States.
The tour was officially announced on On Air with Ryan Seacrest During an interview, where it was mentioned the groups recording a single to be later released. Additionally, the groups hope to see Kevin Richardson perform with them on the tour.[4] He eventually did a one-off appearance at the Staples Center on July 1st. To promote the tour further, the groups conducted a live Q&A session on Ustream.[6]Also, the groups will also perform at the 38th Annual American Music Awards to give the public of taste of what they will see on the tour.[7] For an interview on Entertainment Tonight, Donnie Wahlberg held a picture of the proposed staging, which featured a standard concert stage with an extended catwalk leading to a circular platform. Wahlberg stated the groups want every fan to feel they have first row seating and the stage will have additional surprises.
