The Backstreet Boys are set to bring their DNA World Tour back to Europe this October, with performances planned in Madrid and Barcelona. The lineup of cities across the continent will showcase the enduring popularity of one of pop music’s most successful groups, who now tour with a schedule that alternates between major capitals and intimate venues to deliver high-energy performances to fans across the region.
In a notable stop on this leg of the tour, the group will perform at the Wizink Center in Madrid on October 4 and then head to Barcelona for a concert at the Palau Sant Jordi on October 6. These two dates form a core portion of the European stretch, reflecting the band’s continued appeal across Western Europe and their ability to fill large arenas even years after their initial rise to fame.
Tickets for both shows will go on sale Friday, April 8 at 10:00 a.m. through the official channels livenation.es and ticketmaster.es. Pre-sale opportunities are available for members of the Backstreet Army fan club starting at 10:00 a.m. the day earlier, with Live Nation pre-sale following at the same time on Thursday. These pre-sales provide dedicated fans with early access to some of the best seating options and the chance to secure prized spots before general sale.
Part of the proceeds from a portion of the ticket sales will support the work of the United Nations Refugee Agency in Ukraine, underscoring the band’s commitment to humanitarian causes alongside their global touring schedule. This philanthropic angle adds meaning to the concerts, as fans can connect with the performance while contributing to a broader, human-centered effort through these events.
From a broader perspective, the European leg marks a continued return to a market where the Backstreet Boys demonstrated exceptional appeal in recent years. In 2019 the group sold more than 350,000 tickets across the continent, a testament to the enduring resonance of their music and the enduring loyalty of their fan base. The October stops in Madrid and Barcelona will be part of a larger narrative of reunion and renewed energy, inviting longtime supporters and new listeners alike to experience a live show that blends classic hits with fresh performances and a show production designed to engage audiences from the first note to the final encore. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for official announcements on additional tour dates and venue details, as the band continues to bring the DNA World Tour to cities across Europe, delivering a concert experience that resonates well beyond the music itself. Source confirmations and venue updates are provided by the organizers and partner networks, as well as official communications from Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
