In the 80s and 90s, a phenomena called ‘Boy Bands’ gained massive popularity, although some would argue that the Monkees in the 60s, or the Jackson Five in the 70s laid the groundwork for boy bands to come.
One of the more successful boy bands in the 90s was the Backstreet Boys, a gathering of young talented singers, formed in the Orlando area or ‘O’ Town as it’s often referred to with the late Lou Pearlman at the helm.
The Backstreet Boys may be the most commercial boy band ever assembled, selling over $130 million in records. The Backstreet Boys will be at Target Field in Minneapolis, MN on July 29th and Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL on August 12. You can see the rest of their tour dates here.
