Nick Carter to bring 2025 world tour to Manila

Pop icon of the Backstreet Boys, Nick Carter, is bringing his much-anticipated Who I Am world tour to the Philippines on 30 March 2025 at the New Frontier Theater.

Starting his career at the age of 12, Carter quickly became an international pop superstar as the youngest member of the iconic boy band Backstreet Boys. His 30-year entertainment journey extended far beyond sold-out arenas, encompassing a diverse range of projects in television, film, philanthropy and publishing.

The Backstreet Boys hold the distinction of being the best-selling boy band in history and ranks among the world’s top-selling music artists of all time. The group solidified one of the largest record deals ever, signing a $60 million deal with Jive Records in 1999. Since taking the world by storm in 1995, the band has sold over 130 million records worldwide and has earned five Grammy nominations and countless Billboard Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, American Music Awards, RIAA Awards, People’s Choice Awards and an honorary star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame.

To date, the Backstreet Boys have toured around the globe several times over, released 10 studio albums and has broken several records including the US record for most albums sold in one year, selling over 11 million copies of their third studio album Millennium in 1999.

In 2002, Carter ventured into a solo career with his debut album, Now or Never, released under Jive Records. It debuted impressively at no. 17 on the Billboard 200 chart and received Gold certification in the United States, Japan, and Canada.

Since then, Carter has released two additional solo albums, I’m Taking Off in 2012 and All American in 2016. Notably, his 2023 single “Hurts to Love You” became his most successful track, charting in seven countries, topping the charts in the United States and charting number one in Canada.

In 2004, Carter made his foray into the world of film and television, starring in the remake of the classic horror film Sleepy Hollow called The Hollow. Carter further showcased his acting skills through various film appearances on TV shows such as the CW Network’s revived series 90210.

In 2023, Carter wrapped another massive tour with the Backstreet Boys, The DNA World Tour, before embarking on his first solo tour in seven years, the international Who I Am tour, which kicked off in the US in October.
