NEW Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys have teamed up for what is likely to be one of the biggest tours to hit the UK this year. Their spectacular show comes to the Echo Arena, Liverpool, on Monday, April 23.

“Our fans want us overseas, so that is what we will do,” said Donnie Wahlberg of New Kids.

“We have such dedicated fans, and they continue to come out for us time and time again. Our international fans have been flying to see us stateside for years, so now we are coming to them.”

Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys said: “Europe is like a second home for Backstreet so we are all excited to finally be bringing this show to all our fans there.”

The two bands first delighted fans when they took the stage together for a medley at a sold- out Radio City Music Hall show.

Tickets are £50, £45 and £40, subject to a booking/handling fee. To book, visit [ www.echoarena.com ] or call the Echo Arena box office on 0844 8000 400.
