The Backstreet Boys' Unbreakable Tour is a 2008 concert tour. [1]
This is the first Backstreet Boys tour without Kevin Richardson.
The Unbreakable World Tour is the groups first tour since the groups Never Gone World Tour in 2005. It kicked off in Japan with a 2 sold out concerts in the Tokyo Dome. The group is making the tour more like the one's they put on during the start of their career with more dancing than their previous tour. An interesting aspect of this tour is that each member will perform a solo number during the concert. The group is also going back to more of a matching and set wardrobe.
The group plans to make this a true world tour, hitting countries they haven't visited in years, along with visiting new countries. The band makes their first stop ever on tour in Russia, along with South Africa dates.
The Luxembourg date was suspended after a fire broke out at the venue the afternoon of the performance, no one was seriously injured, but there was damage to the groups wardrobe. [2]
Group members Howie Dorough and A.J McLean debuted new solo songs during the tour.
Group member AJ McLean is doing a solo tour as well.
The groups sold out show at the O2 in London will be recorded for a webcast and tour DVD. Extra lighting and pyro was added to aid in the process.
On the final show of the Asian leg of tour, the group changed things up and sang Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon, and audience members threw paper airplanes around while the group performed Shape of My Heart.
During a few shows on the European leg, the group performed their song Siberia from the album Never Gone.
The group is also writing and recording for their next cd, due out in 2009, while on tour.
