Backstreet Boys book a record 12 shows at Toronto's Rogers Centre

The 2027 run, booked citing "overwhelming demand", doubles the stadium's previous record of six shows, set by Taylor Swift in 2024.

Top price, VIP packages

1,000+ $

The residency could draw nearly half a million concertgoers, with tickets from around $100 to well over $1,000 for VIP packages.
