The Backstreet Boys, less original member Kevin Richardson, announced Tuesday they will tour North America this summer, with 13 Canadian stops scheduled along the way.
Pop group Girlicious, whose four members came together as the winners of a reality show, will open.
The Canadian leg of the tour kicks off July 30 in St. John's, N.L., before heading for Moncton, Halifax, Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria.
BSB are hitting the road in support of their 2007 album, "Unbreakable."
"We couldn't wait to get back on stage with a big extravagant show using this material as the base," member Nick Carter said in a statement.
"Half of what we do is vocals and harmonies on our albums, but our other role is as entertainers, which we take great pride in."
The Backstreet Boys enjoyed huge popularity in '90s but went on hiatus between 2001 and 2005. They returned in 2005 with a new album, "Never Gone."
Richardson left the group in 2006 to start a family.
