The Backstreet Boys brought their high energy and ballad-filled DNA World Tour to the Walmart Arkansas Music Pavilion in Rogers, Ark. on Friday, June 17.

Long-time Backstreet Boys fans were excited to finally be able to see this show after two previous dates had to be canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Luckily, the Backstreet Boys put on a show that was well worth the wait.

While the show was promoting their ninth studio album, DNA, the Backstreet Boys made a wise decision in their set list. Knowing many music fans mainly stick to the radio hits, they chose to sing full versions of those songs while mostly sticking to shortened versions of songs from DNA. It was a clever idea because they sang enough to draw the audience in, leaving it to where fans might look up the song the next day. As a result of the shortened songs, the show consisted of 33 songs. This allowed the Backstreet Boys to shine and show how talented they are at bringing highly energetic songs that have everyone dancing but also ballads that have fans swaying their hands in the air. 
 
The show also proved to be very entertaining because of the superb synchronized choreography. At one point, the Backstreet Boys brought up how they “aren’t spring chickens anymore.” However, you would have never known it from their dance moves. They proved to us all that getting older wasn’t going to affect their performance one bit.
 
One of my favorite experiences in concerts in general is the moments where you hear the fans screaming the lyrics of their favorite songs at the top of their lungs. You look around, everyone is standing on their feet, waving their hands in their air, shaking their hips, and breaking it down. It is in moments like this you realize how much music has an impact on this world. We are so divided on so many things but when the Backstreet Boys sang “As Long As You Love Me,” we were all united in that moment.  In a world where you feel you are under a microscope to be “perfect,” it is so freeing to be at a concert where you can dance and be yourself without feeling the need to be something to someone. 
 
The Backstreet Boys united us all for three hours of nonstop entertainment. They had us all rocking our bodies right and showed us that “Backstreet’s Back….ALRIGHT!”
