Nineties boy band Backstreet Boys will return to Israel April 24 to play Rishon Lezion’s Live Park arena.

“We’re coming back to see you soon!” said Alexander James “AJ” McLean, one of the members of the Backstreet Boys.

Tickets go on sale Tuesday.

The group’s return to Israel follows three sold out shows in the country in 2015.

The Backstreet Boys had originally planned summer concerts in 2014, but canceled them due to the war in Gaza.


The group is being brought back to Israel by Ticketmaster Israel, the new majority owner in the Blustone Group promotion company, which brought the Backstreet Boys last time as well.
