The band that has 14 Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and have sold over 130 million records worldwide is very popular in the Indian sub-continent.

The American multi-Grammy nominated pop band will participate in this year’s Rock In India 2010 festival along with pop/rock singer Richard Marx and South African band Prime Circle.

The festival is an annual western musical event staged in India.

Heavy metal bands like Iron Maiden in 2009 and Megadeth participated in the 2008 festivals held in Bangalore.

This time Delhi has been added is on the list of venues.

“Delhi has always been a good market for live entertainment so when I got this opportunity to expand our festival Rock in India Delhi was the obvious choice, ” said T. Venkat Vardhan of DNA Networks, India.

The Rock in India concert will take place in Delhi on February 20 and in Bangalore on February 22.

    MAN! Really! The BSB fans keep bringing up album sales.. The point is that BSB sold a million albums 10 years.. Today, no one wants to buy a BSB album. And honestly, even if they did sell a million albums then, today their fan base is nowhere close. Think about it.. The whole hype of boybands didn’t even make it to a decade.. And the rock and metal bands are from the freaking 80s! There maybe no harm in liking BSB or dying to watch them live but not in under the title of a ROCK concert. If you think it isn’t a big deal, you clearly haven’t air guitared or almost had a whiplash from some neck wrecking headbanging – meaning you don’t give that much of a crap about rock music. For us, who do, it’s blasphemy. And for those who said Enrique and Shakira came down for Rock in India, do your fucking research. Rock in India is a music festival that is only 2 years old.

    First of all, the damn bollywood and mainstream pop/hip hop music comes in the way of any original music “with real unsynthesized instruments” getting anywhere. To top it, they bring down a pop band just as India was getting on the map of rock and metal. Nice going man! Really.. Fuck! Money-eating corporate monkeys!

    who said BSB lipsynschs??
    if u guys wanna check that that such an accusation is an utter nonsense, go to backstreetparadise.com and view(for god’s sake) their live performances.They never lipsynch, plz before spreading such malicious rumours, check out the truth first.

    Secondly, those guys saying that no. of album sales has got nothing to do with good music, just think twice…
    why would people buy the cds, and spend their bucks if they dont like the music??? and for that many people to buy the cd, it must be that the music is excellent!!…its proven fact, you cant dispute over it..

    Thirdly, BSB is a rock band…but in earlier years in ROCK IN INDIA, people who are not even remotely close to rock have come viz “Shakira”,”Enrique”..etc..if the organizers can bring pop singers then, rather than metal bands, why cant you expect them to bring a more substantial rock band like bsb??…if u didnt like the concert then, then leave the discussion, dont come…if you have liked then, then you’re gonna love now…!

    fourthly, before saying they are gay, go and see in the internet, 3 of them are married to girls, one AJ has been engaged recently(to a girl), and nick is single.Listen, have you ever met them, or talked to them, then how can you demand to know such a personal thing like “sexual orientation”.ofcourse i havent met the too, but from facts and all that i’ve seen i know they are straight.infact aj had about 20-30 gfs in his lifetime! he is quite of a playboy…and nick was once the boyfriend of Paris Hilton..they are just good frds..
    why doesn’t any male who opposes them dont have a male frd…should we suppose he’s a gay then??nonsense

    Lastly, why is these even coming up, they are a male vocal group, and maybe they dont sing metal they sing good rock.enjoy!..and thank you to all the people who supported me.!!cheers!

    Backstreet Boys in rock in India. Pathetic.
    Such things can only happen in India.
    First they say its gonna be bigger and better than ever. Send out rumours about talks with DT, LOG, COB. Then they call backstreet boys.

    I was hoping some big metal bands would come this year, paving way for a bigger and better RII, a concert that would be related to a metal fest in india, much like download in the UK, or RockAmRing in Germany. But no. This is seriously sick. Commercial bullshit.

    And BSB fans, if you don’t realise, none of the metal heads have a problem with bsb as such. They are just not meant to play at rock in india, where powerful bands like Megafuckingdeth, and Ironfucking Maiden have played.

    All in all, DNA, you suck.
