Exciting, euphoric, exhilarating and nostalgic – Backstreet Boys` maiden performance in Mumbai was all this and more. Braving the peak summer heat in Mumbai, the five-member act took to the stage in the entertainment capital of India for the very first time on Thursday. Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, and cousins Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson are in India for a two-city tour, heading to Delhi right after their Mumbai gig.

Backstreet Boys came back to India 13 years after their first performance in Delhi. And the Mumbai audience welcomed them with loud cheers, singing along to their hit tracks from the ‘90s as well as the latest album, DNA. The members kept up their energy despite sweating buckets on stage in their tour outfits that included leather jackets and long coats, which were absolutely not suitable for the Indian summer.
