The Details: Everything You Need To Know About ‘Backstreet’s Back At The Beach’ Cancun Experience

The Backstreet Boys are heading from their 30th year together into their 31st year and answering fans’ pleas of bringing back a cruise-esque experience with something brand new – Backstreet’s Back At The Beach!

The event, taking place in Cancun at all an all-inclusive resort, completely taken over by the Backstreet Boys and their fans, will allow attendees to catch a little rest and relaxation while having the opportunity to take part in BSB events in between. What better way to kick off the Summer a little early and say hello to the Backstreet new year?!

We’ll be updating this post with all of the things you need to know as they are released! We’ll also be adding an FAQ as we see questions that need answered most. Let’s goooo!

Things To Know

+ The question everyone has been asking — there is no formal meet and greet opportunity. This is a vacation, curated by the Boys, for themselves and for their fans. They will be having solo events similar to past cruises in addition to the two concerts on the beach.

+ There is a lottery for 30 fans to win entry into a 30 minute happy hour / meet and greet with the Boys! These winners (and the guests in their package) will also gain first entry into one of the concerts (at their choosing). Please note that only the 30 winners will be permitted into the Happy Hour. To be entered, you must book your package prior to July 21st at 11:59pm EST / 10:59pm CST. The “lead guest” (person who books the package) and registered additional guests will all have the same opportunity. The drawing for winners will be done at the end of March via the Boys’ socials.

+ In addition to BSB things, make sure you take a look at everything the resort has to offer! You can find most of these things here.

+ The 30-For-30 set list will be voted on by fans attending this event and an online form will be sent out in coming months!

+ Please note that the concert venue is general admission — no seating.

+ Please double check everything that you hear from others. This is a new experience for everyone and misinformation is easily spread.

6 Things We Will Miss About The Backstreet Boys’ DNA Tour

It’s been about a week since the Backstreet Boys performed the final show on the DNA Tour, which ran for 4 years and 200+ shows all over the world. It was an era of Backstreet that will surely go down in history, if not for its length, but for the fact that it was interrupted by a global pandemic, postponed a few times, saw the release of a long awaited Christmas album in the midst of it all, and saw the return of the Boys to arenas.

While Kevin, Howie, Brian, AJ and Nick have since packed themselves away like Christmas decorations after a festive holiday season, presumably enjoying a little rest and relaxation before they head back to work on something new, we thought we’d relive some of the DNA magic we’ll miss most.

1. The Opening

Sure, there’s always something special about the opening of a concert, but this one was unforgettable. The slow motion individual intros coupled with music that sounded reminiscent of “Gangsta’s Paradise” set the vibe for the whole show. For us, the most notable part of the opening is that, in a show filled with greatest hits and music that everyone will likely know, the Boys opened the show with two arguable deep cuts with “Everyone” and “I Wanna Be With You”. These songs weren’t singles and one of them wasn’t even released on an album that was released in all countries. It felt like a wink to the fans that have been there through it all and something about it felt like a wink and a special moment for us.

2. “Don’t Wanna Lose You Now” and “Breathe”

Don’t get us wrong – we loved the production of the DNA Tour (we’ll get to that later) and the Boys’ crisp choreography, but the moment of the show where they performed the long awaited return of “Don’t Wanna Lose You Now” and return to their acapella roots with “Breathe” are nothing short of MAGIC. We can only hope that these two songs stay on the setlist in some form or fashion in performances to come.

3. The DNA Circle

If you know, you know. We wrote about our feelings on the DNA Circle here and we stand by it.

4. The Production

The way the setlist is broken up to present cinematic visuals playing behind the Boys as they perform was really a chef’s kiss and actually cooler to take in, the further away you were sitting. This piece of the tour was largely in part to the involvement of Rich + Tone, the creative directors and choreographers, who were involved in the DNA era from start to finish. You can watch more about the making of the tour here.

5. The Behind The Scenes Posts

We’re going to miss seeing the Golfstreet Boys together! 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/FTNlszWDj8

— What Happens On The Backstreet (@WHOTheBckstreet) September 12, 2022

The Boys themselves have admitted that this tour has brought them closer than they’ve been in a long time and if you’ve been following along on their socials, you know that most of that time has been spent on the golf course. More recently, we’ve seen them gathered for meals in different countries and visiting landmarks like the Egyptian pyramids (if you missed it, check out Nick’s Instagram reels that document the venture). We’re definitely going to miss seeing it all!

6. The Fun of It All

From the giant heart Nick and Brian formed at the end of every “Shape of My Heart” performance to AJ and Kevin “changing” onstage to Howie yelling for everyone to “put their fingers in the air”, the DNA tour gave us memories we’ll tuck away in the BSB scrapbooks of our minds. It also ran through a time when all of us needed it for one reason or another and it gave us a place to converge with friends once again after unprecedented times kept us apart. We’re forever grateful that Backstreet is, indeed, in our DNA.

30 Years Later, The Backstreet Boys Remain.

I don’t remember the first Backstreet Boys song I ever heard.

But I remember learning every word to every song on every album as soon as I got my hands on it.

I remember the BSB song that I had on repeat the first time my heart got broken.

I remember the BSB song that was ringtone throughout highschool.

I remember the BSB song that was being performed when I looked around an arena, in awe of something bigger.

I remember the BSB songs that felt like a warm hug for my brain after the worst moments of my life.

I don’t remember the very first time I saw the Backstreet Boys.

But I remember all of the words in all of the interviews I watched on repeat when I was 10.

I remember the absolute unbridled joy that I felt when I saw them live for the first time when I was 12.

I remember being in awe of how genuinely kind they were when I met them at 16.

I remember the appreciation I feel for every moment and Backstreet experience throughout the rest of my 20s.

Today, the Backstreet Boys enter their 30s as a group.

Someone asked me recently why I think the Backstreet Boys still have such a fanbase and the answer, for me, was simple – they’ve been loyal to us, so we remain loyal to them.

Their music has been woven into our lives like threads that have sometimes held us together and the moments in between that we’ve spent with them and with each other are fenceposts on which we hang some of our best memories. For some, the Backstreet Boys are just a band who have stood the test of time against all odds. For fans, the Backstreet Boys are a stable constant and a reminder that not only have they made it 30 years – but we have too.

Thank you to Kevin, Howie, Brian, AJ and Nick for not only entertaining us for 30 years, but for never letting us down. In a world of constant change and challenges, the Backstreet Boys remain. We couldn’t be more grateful.

MeUndies, Downy and Everything The Backstreet Boys Are Doing That You Might Have Missed

Ever since the Backstreet Boys released their Christmas album in October, they have been going NON. STOP.

In the past few weeks, numerous amounts of content has been dropped, from a MeUndies campaign featuring the Boys in Christmas pajamas and recreating their famous Rolling Stones cover shoot to an unexpected appearance in a Downy ad to taking us behind the scenes of the filming of the Backstreet Christmas album. There’s a lot of ground to cover and we’ve been keeping it all up-to-date on our social media pages, but if you feel like you’ve missed something, catch up here!

MeUndies x Backstreet Boys

This might be our most favorite collaboration yet! Not only did the MeUndies x Backstreet Boys pairing take us back to the early 2000s when the Boys dropped trou for their iconic Rolling Stones cover by recreating it for an updated photo, but they gave us an opportunity to claim some cute holiday jammies and undies while delivering big time on the content we love most (you know, when the Backstreet Boys are having a fun time)!

Here’s everything you might have missed:

• The Collection – Complete with BSB Holiday Party video!
• The Backstreet Boys Are Back — In Their Underwear (Interview – WWD)
• The Backstreet Boys and MeUndies Launched Festive Undies For The Holidays (Interview – USA Today)
• The Backstreet Boys Sell Underwear Now — And It’s Iconic (Interview – PAPER)
• Behind The Scenes Photo from Scott Kuza
• Behind The Scenes Video from Margeaux Brooke
• Behind The Scenes TikTok

The Downy Commercial

In another surprise appearance, the Backstreet Boys are the stars of the latest commercial for Downy Rinse & Refresh, appearing as a singing poster in their iconic white outfits – stain free! Watch the commercial spot below and the TikTok ad here.

The Behind The Scenes

Just as everyone wished after seeing the Boys’ “Last Christmas” music video, they’re dropping videos on their YouTube channel this week, letting fans go behind the scenes of the recording of their Christmas album. Find the episodes that have been released so far below! (Another episode drops Saturday)

Odds And Ends

• AJ and Brian will be doing a Q&A live on Amazon stream here on Friday, 11/25 at 3:20p EST / 2:20p CST / 12:20p PST

Here is the most current calendar for December:

5 Things The Backstreet Boys Are Doing In December 2022 That You Need To Know About

Fresh off their US and European legs of the DNA World Tour, the Backstreet Boys are diving right into the Christmas season with events and promo for their freshly released Christmas album, ‘A Very Backstreet Christmas’.

While there are a few things that have been hinted at that we have no details about at this time (an album release party, presumably in Beverly Hills between November 30th and December 3rd, for example), there are plenty of things that we do know… and are keeping a track of in a calendar that we will continue to update and post on our social media channels.

But for now… here are the things you need to know about!

1. The JCPenney live Holiday spectacular

According to a JCP press release, the Backstreet Boys will be hosting the Facebook Live stream on December 1st, where they will seemingly be doing a number of things, including sing alongs and, most importantly, premiering their music video for “Christmas in New York”. This will serve as the second single and music video from their recently released ‘A Very Backstreet Christmas’ album. If you haven’t seen the music video for “Last Christmas”, check it out here.

2. An Upcoming appearance on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show‘

We don’t know the air date for this episode featuring the Backstreet Boys, but what we DO know, is that 1iota had openings for the audience – both in person and virtual – for a filming featuring our fave five on December 2nd. While the openings have since closed, we will be keeping an eye out for air date and keeping you informed via our Appearances page.

3. Enter To Win a trip to the album release party

There are numerous contests and giveaways to enter right now for Jingle Balls, Meet and Greets, etc., but the biggest one right now is a “once in a life time” experience to win airline tickets for two people to Los Angeles or Burbank airport, three nights hotel stay (November 30 – December 3), two tickets for winner & guest to the official release party on December 1^st, photo-op with the Backstreet Boys, and an autographed “A Very Backstreet Christmas” CD for both the winner and their guest. You only have until the evening of Sunday, 11/6 to place your bid, with the proceeds from the auction going to Point Hope.

4. A Very Backstreet Holiday ABC Special

Perhaps the most exciting upcoming “event” for the Backstreet Boys is an ABC primetime holiday special! ‘A Very Backstreet Holiday’ will premiere on December 14th at 8pm EST (and re-air on December 20th). While there are few details about the special right now, we do know that it will feature all five Boys singing songs from their new album as well as the classics, with “surprises” along the way. We will be live tweeting during the premiere, of course!

5. Jingle Balls

As they have in the past, the Backstreet Boys will wrap the year up by performing at several major Jingle Ball concerts. You can catch them in Detroit, NYC, Boston, Tampa, and / or Miami through the month of December. Check our appearances post for details!

The Basics: What You Need To Know About The Backstreet Boys’ DNA World Tour European Leg

EUROPE… It’s your turn to enjoy the return of the DNA World Tour! Instead of updating the tour post we’ve been updating all Summer, we’re starting fresh(ish) with this post so you don’t have to dig through everything else. If you’re interested in reading info from the US this past Summer, click here.

If you’ve been with us for a while, you know we did a few posts giving a rundown of the ins and outs of the tour including one with spoilers (setlist, media, etc.), one full of reviews from fans, and one about the magic of the DNA Circle.

This will be a post full of things (the basics) that you NEED TO KNOW from updates to events to venue policies and more. We will update the other post with spoilers, for those of you who are into that.

Find a post here for a rundown of all events the Backstreet Boys are doing on tour and in between tour dates!

• EVERY PERSON who enters VIP must have a VIP Meet and Greet purchased. A concert ticket does not allow someone entrance, even if they are not participating in the photo op.

++ The Show ++

We are assuming that these details will remain the same!

– The show is 32 songs — more can be found here about the details that we do know!

– The show runs 1 hour and 50 minutes from the time the Boys hit the stage.

– You can exit the DNA Circle throughout the show. The entrance / exit is built into the stage.

– There is plenty of space inside the DNA Circle and interactions are similar to that, if not better than, in the pit of IAWLT tour and Vegas.

– All dates and tickets for the tour can be found here.

++ Other FAQ ++

Is the stage the same everywhere?

No. The stage varies based on venue. Some cities have changed the stage layout since tickets went on sale. Please check Ticketmaster for updates.

Will there be more after parties and solo events?

Yes! We are updating our appearances post as they are announced, but follow us on social media for the quickest updates.

++ Venue Policies ++

So many event venues have changed bag policies and implemented COVID policies as they return to business after the pandemic. We know what a pain it can be to be in a panic, trying to track down these policies when you’re just trying to get your life and wardrobe together enough to make it to the concert… so, we’ll be linking those policies here! We will be adding them as dates get closer, so if you don’t see yours, check back (if you want).

** Please note that most venues are now CASHLESS, meaning you need a credit or debit card to make purchases **

COMING SOON!
