The Backstreet Boys have touched down in South Africa before their world tour shows.

The boyband – consisting of Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, and cousins Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson – landed in Cape Town at the weekend and are "starting to venture out" after catching up on some rest.

After arriving from Bahrain, their first stop was the Cape Town Stadium. They watched the Stormers beat Irish team Connacht 43–25, securing a spot in the United Rugby Championship (URC) final for the second consecutive year.

"Backstreet Boys - Welcome to South Africa. We are thrilled to have you," reads the caption of a clip shared to the Big Concerts Instagram account.

Meanwhile, Nick Carter has shared moments of their travels in Cape Town so far on his personal social media accounts.
