Fans of American boy bands New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) and the Backstreet Boys are in for a rare treat, as the two bands, which achieved tremendous success in the 1980s and 1990s, will share the stage in a concert on June 1 in Jakarta.
The show, titled “One Night One Stage” will be held at the Mata Elang International Stadium in Ancol, North Jakarta. The Jakarta concert will be part of a world tour.
Jakarta will be the first city in Asia to host the bands after they wrap their concert in Perth, Australia, on May 29.
The show will mark NKOTB’s second performance in the country after they caused hysterics at their first show in 1992. For the Backstreet Boys, it will be their first gig in Indonesia.
“Hello, Jakarta! It’s been a long time. Jakarta is one of my favorite places. You’ve been good to me. See you on June 1,” said Joey McIntyre, the youngest member of NKOTB, in footage shown by the concert promoter during a press conference on Thursday.
Marcel Permadhi, account director of promoter Berlian Entertainment, said 3,000 pre-sale tickets for the show made available online via www.rajakarcis.com on Sept. 23, 2011, sold out within seven minutes.
