Amidst deafening screams, the wildly popular Backstreet Boys blazed onto the stage at Pechanga Resort & Casino’s Showroom Theater, gripped the audience with a heart-pounding version of their 1997 hit “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” and didn’t let go until their 90-minute set left guests breathless and wanting more.
The sold-out crowd greeted the performers with a standing ovation at the start of the performance and didn’t sit down – not once — the rest of the night. Instead, there was dancing, arm-waving and singing, lots of singing.
The show is part of the Backstreet Boys’ 2010 This Is Us concert tour that has taken the group all over the world, reviving favorite songs from the 90s and introducing audiences to new sounds, like “Straight Through My Heart.” Read more »

These guys have not only outgrown their boy band status, but after 17 years in the business, the Backstreet Boys sound better than ever. What’s life like for four men living as Boys? And can they actually be as nice as they seem? Take a listen to their new songs and new stories on Talk Stoop with Cat Greenleaf. Thanks to Talk Stoop
