Oh dear lord it’s the moment my childhood has been waiting for. 90s pop sensations New Kids On The Block and The Backstreet Boys are coming to play Ireland next year in April.

I don’t know how many of you out there are in the same boat, as a young kid I would have had a relentless pop side which I have retained a soft spot for many specific bands and The BackStreet Boys would be one of those for me.

The gigs are in The Odyssey Arena in Belfast on Friday 20th April and then they roll down to Dublin to play The O2 on Saturday 21st April 2012. Tickets for the gigs go on sale Friday 28th October at 9am.

Tickets are priced at €40 – €65 in Dublin and £35 – £55 in Belfast. Tickets available from Ticketmaster.ie
