To all the fans who wanted more Backstreet Boys concerts in Toronto: that wish has been granted.

The beloved ‘90s boy band announced on Monday that they will be playing two more shows this coming February due to “CRAZY demand”, bringing their residency to Toronto to six concerts (tying Taylor Swift when she last performed in the city).

The “Into the Millennium - HOMECOMING: Live in Canada” residency, presented by Rogers, will hit Rogers Centre on Valentine’s Day and on Feb. 21.

The band previously announced they would play Feb. 12, 13, 19 and 20. This means the Backstreet Boys will effectively play two consecutive long-weekends-worth of concerts.

“CANADA, YOU WEREN’T PLAYING AROUND!” the band wrote in an Instagram post.

The last time the band played in Toronto was in 2022, when they performed two consecutive nights for the “DNA World Tour”.

Presale tickets are already available to Rogers customers for all six shows with public sale starting Friday at 10 a.m.
