LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The411:  With only three tour dates remaining, the Backstreet Boys latest arena tour in 18 years is in Louisville this evening at the KFC Yum! Center. 

The DNA Tour which includes cousins from Kentucky. Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson make up the group along with Howie D, AJ McLean and Nick Carter. 

They named the tour and their latest studio album, DNA because they wanted their fans to know them as individuals who are gifted and talented in their own special way.  Then when you combine them they become a powerful musical force.    

Doors at the KFC Yum! Center open at 7:00 p.m. and the concert will begin at 8:00 p.m. 

The tour wraps up just two days after their Louisville show in Newark, NJ on Sunday, September 15th. 

So, what’s next for the Backstreet Boys?  Littrell says “The journey is ongoing with us and there is so much left to do”.  He goes on to say “We’re living the next chapter that hasn’t been told yet, and that’s exciting”.

Louisville natives Linkin Bridge will perform around 7:30 pm, followed by Littrell’s son Baylee at 8:00 pm and then the Backstreet Boys will take the stage at 9:00 pm.
