The DNA World Tour[1] was the tenth concert tour by American vocal group Backstreet Boys in support of their tenth studio album, DNA (2019). The tour performed over 150 shows in the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia. It was the ninth highest-grossing tour of 2019, with a total attendance of 999,242 from 95 shows, as well as a total revenue of $92,310,105.[2]

The tour began on May 11, 2019,[3] but was cut short on March 15, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] They initially rescheduled the remaining dates for 2021,[5] but eventually had to reschedule again for 2022 and 2023.[6][7] Additional shows took place in the fall of 2024.

Background
