**New Era: Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter Announces 2026 Farewell Tour – *One Last Ride* Marks the End of a Pop Legend’s Era, Dates and Cities Revealed**
In an emotional and historic announcement, Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter has officially confirmed that 2026 will mark the group’s final global tour. Titled *“One Last Ride,”* the farewell tour signals the end of an era for one of the most iconic pop groups in music history. With full dates and cities now revealed, fans worldwide are preparing for one last unforgettable journey with the legendary boy band that shaped a generation.
Set to kick off in early May 2026, the *One Last Ride* Tour will span more than 50 cities across North America, Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia. From New York and Toronto to Tokyo, London, São Paulo, and Sydney, the Backstreet Boys are promising a powerful and emotional celebration of their 30-year legacy. Nick Carter, who delivered the announcement during a heartfelt livestream, described the tour as “a final thank-you to the fans who became our family.”
The show is expected to feature an immersive production that blends nostalgia with modern spectacle — massive LED screens, archival footage, live band arrangements, and choreography paying homage to the hits that defined an era. Fans can expect timeless classics like *I Want It That Way*, *Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)*, *As Long As You Love Me*, *Shape of My Heart*, and *Incomplete*, alongside special unreleased tracks recorded exclusively for the farewell project.
Carter emphasized that the tour is not only a goodbye, but also a tribute to brotherhood, resilience, and the enduring bond between the Backstreet Boys and their passionate global audience. “We grew up together. We lived our dreams together,” he said. “Now we’re closing this chapter together.”
With demand already skyrocketing, *One Last Ride* is poised to become one of the most emotional and bestselling farewell tours of the decade. Fans are urged to secure tickets early — because after 2026, the Backstreet Boys legacy will live on, but the touring era will officially come to an end.
