THIS IS US TOUR: The Backstreet Boys Are Back...Again

Screaming teen girls of a decade past, get ready because your favorite 90s hearthrobs The Backstreet Boys are making a return.

The group be at the ShoWare Center in Kent on Aug. 5 promoting itsr most recent release, "This is Us."

The boys haven't been completely absent in recent years: they've released three albums (Never Gone, Unbreakable and This is Us) since 2005 and in 2008 put on a show at Marymoor Park.

Surprisingly, the show later this summer won't be too expensive, with tickets starting at $29.50. Tickets go on sale Friday.

From the news release:

Adds Brian Littrell, "The pop bands of yesteryear that don't exist anymore were centered around one or two central vocalists. What has allowed us to keep going is that we were always a team of well-rounded singers, with a similar vision. We love the fact that we can still lift people's spirits and make them smile with songs they can sing along to." And, notes AJ McLean, "We've been part of this group for half our lives-it's crazy to think about. If you asked me in 1992 if I'd still be a Backstreet Boy in 2010, I'd have thought we'll make some records together and have a good little run. But we continue because we love what we do. We thrive being onstage and seeing the faces of little girls and boys and couples and grandmothers, all cutting a jig in the front row."
