"Excited for this!!! @aj_mclean let's do this!!," Fatone, 46, shared on Instagram. McLean, 46, chimed in, "Prepare for a 'legendary' show - can't wait to see you all there!"
Starting on March 15 in Temecula, California, the eight-city tour will run through March 30 in Jacksonville, Florida. Fatone and McLean will perform their 'NSync and Backstreet Boys hits with a seven-piece band, and also share intimate, never-before-told stories from their time on the road with their fans.
"I've known AJ for as long as I've known my own band members. We've collaborated on various projects in the past, but never had the chance to work together on something new," said Fatone in a press release. "This tour gives us the opportunity to bring together the best of both musical worlds."
"I hope our fans are prepared for a show that will transport them through the magic of 'NSync, Backstreet Boys, and everything in between," Fatone continued. "This show is all about fun and nostalgia, and we're excited to share this experience with audiences across the country."
