Background [edit]

We were all on tour, not together at the same time, but we were pretty close on the road. NKOTB were wrapping up their summer run. We happened to be out and we ended up being on stage together. It was a magical moment [...] none of us will never forget. Right after we performed together everybody on Twitter and Facebook...it was everywhere that we were going on tour. So we started talking about it and we made it happen.[6]
—Brian Littrell, Entertainment Tonight

During the summer of 2010, the Backstreet Boys joined New Kids on the Block onstage at the Radio City Music Hall (as a part of NKOTB Casi-NO Tour), where the groups performed "I Want It That Way".[7] Since the performance, the media began to circulate rumors of the two uniting for a tour in the summer of 2011.[8]

The tour was officially announced on On Air with Ryan Seacrest during an interview, where it was mentioned the groups recording a single to be later released.[7] To promote the tour further, the groups conducted a live Q&A session on Ustream.[9] The groups also performed at the 38th Annual American Music Awards to give the public a taste of what they would see on the tour.[10] For an interview on Entertainment Tonight, Donnie Wahlberg held a picture of the proposed staging, which featured a standard concert stage with an extended catwalk leading to a circular platform.
