Drake Joined Them During Their Last Toronto Show
The Backstreet Boys last performed in Toronto in 2022. That night, rapper Drake joined the band onstage, creating a memorable moment for fans. The 2027 residency gives the group a chance to build on that energy and cement another iconic Toronto run in their history.
