That movement, according to Dorough, is nostalgia: Millennials get to relive their childhood while making new memories with their children. He said that's what makes the DNA World Tour so special.

BSB is in the middle of the North American leg of their world tour, which wraps September 16 in Hersheypark Stadium, PA before wrapping up in November in Hawaii.
