Top-selling pop act heading for Sun City

United States pop group the Backstreet Boys will be performing in Sun City's Superbowl at the POSI+IVE festival on June 14 and 15, the resort announced on Friday.

The band members -- Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and AJ McLean -- are back together after taking a break from 2002 to 2005, said Sun City's public relations officer Funi September.

In 2006, they recorded their new Unbreakable album, which was an instant radio hit last year when it was released.

"We couldn't wait to get back on stage with a big extravagant show using this material as the base," said Carter.

Fifth member Kevin Richardson left the group in 2006, citing family responsibilities, but the band have not ruled out a possible return for the singer.

Since performing their first concert in Florida in the United States in 1993, the Backstreet Boys have sold about 100-million records worldwide

Tickets for the concerts are available at Computicket.
