The famous boy band, who have sold over 130 million records, renowned for their chart-topping hits and high-energy performances, will be performing exclusively on Saturday 6 December, bringing their iconic sound to the heart of the Alps. Fans can look forward to hearing timeless hits such as 'I Want It That Way' and 'Everybody (Backstreet's Back)', as well as newer songs from their reunion and comeback albums.
The Schladming-Dachstein holiday region is one of the biggest in Austria and the Alps, a four-sector ski area comprising Hauser Kaibling, Planai, Hochwurzen and Reiteralm delivering 230 kilometres of slopes across nine mountains. This is complemented by 77 state-of-the-art cable cars and ski lifts, as well as over 100 ski huts.
