The boys have become men and now they're back in town. Via Wikipedia, I learned that since their mega-hit album Black & Blue was released in 2000, Kevin Richardson left the Backstreet Boys and the remaining four put out three more albums, the third of which - This Is Us (2009) - is why they're currently touring. See them the 14th and 15th at Shanghai International Gymnastic Center. Tickets are RMB480-1600; the cheapest, RMB280 tickets are already sold out, so get crackin.

In other visiting pop news, former No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani will also be playing this massive venue soon; you can catch her on May 15th. Tickets are RMB180-RMB1280.
