Bengaluru-based Rehna Kareem has been excited to attend the Backstreet Boys concert since the day the band announced their tour dates for India. "It is a very nostalgic day for any 90s kid," she exclaims. Flying down to the maximum city, she isn`t only excited about the concert but also about visiting Mumbai because it`s been more than two decades since her last visit. Now, the fact that the iconic American rock band is performing here, gives her all the more reason to make the best of it. "To go from listening to them on cassettes to watching them live -- it`s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, right?" she expresses what many other fans are feeling.
The Backstreet Boys are in India to perform in Mumbai and Delhi, as part of their DNA World Tour 2023. Interestingly, the last time they performed in Mumbai in India was in 2010, at a time when many 90s kids may still not have had enough money to attend the concert. So, now that they`re here after 13 years, it only means that most of them will definitely try to attend it, and Kareem is the only one of them, who is flying from another city to witness them live.
