Toledo, grab your keys — one of the biggest voices of the ’90s is playing just up I-75 tonight.

Backstreet Boys founding member AJ McLean brings his solo Better Man tour to Detroit tonight, Sunday, Nov. 8, at 7:30 PM at Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel, 2901 Grand River Ave. in Detroit.

Billed as “AJ McLean presents Alexander James: The Better Man Tour,” the show is a solo run under his birth name, Alexander James. The tour runs through Feb. 5, 2027 — and Detroit is tonight’s stop.

Expect a setlist leaning on his solo material, including “Can’t Love You Anymore,” “Night Visions” and “The One That Got Away.” McLean also hosted Netflix’s Building the Band in 2025.

Tickets are listed from about $43–$71. Check Ticketmaster and SeatGeek for availability, and see WCSX for more things to do in Detroit this weekend.

It is a same-night road trip from Toledo — and a rare chance to see a Backstreet Boy up close, solo, in an intimate room.
