The Backstreet Boys are back. The famous boyband of the '90s has announced a new tour of Australia. The boys will also rope in the original band member Kevin Richardson for their upcoming tour. Kevin temporarily left the boy band in 2006 and reunited with his fellow band members in 2013.

“This last year and a half of touring with my bandmates again couldn’t have been any better, but I’m so excited to finally get back to Australia and play for our Aussie fans,” Richardson is quoted as saying by Music Feeds. The singer also added that he would “not feel complete” without spending time in his favourite hang out places in Australia.

The Backstreet Boys will make their comeback to Australia with “In A World Like This Tour.” The boys last performed in Australia way back in 2012 when there were only four members in their band. But this time, when they kick off their tour in May 2015, all the original five members – A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell, will be present.

The band, which was formed in 1993, is known for their dance moves and their huge following among girls. They also delivered some of the smash hits like “I Want It That Way,” “Everybody,” “As Long As You Love Me,” and “Larger Than Life,” among others. The boyband recently celebrated the completion of their 20 years by releasing a documentary “Backstreet Boys: Show 'Em What You're Made Of.” Directed by Stephen Kijak, the documentary tells their complete story since the time they were formed to their huge success, arguments and their present status. A.J. McLean told Rolling Stone magazine that their documentary will show the story of their “ups and downs” and “highs and lows.”

In Australia, the Backstreet Boys will play shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. The tickets will go on sale on Feb. 23, 2015. Information about tickets can be found on Live Nation. Check out the details of the venue and dates for their Australia tour below:
