The Backstreet Boys have announced today that all five members of the group will reunite for a performance on ABC's GOOD MORNING AMERICA as part of the morning show's Summer Concert Series on August 31. Kevin Richardson, who left the band in 2006, announced three months ago that he will officially return as a band member. 

The Backstreet Boys are currently working on an album which is scheduled to be released next spring. They will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles this summer. 

The 2012 Summer Concert Series returned for the fourth year to the Rumsey Playfield in Central Park, where music's biggest names will perform live every Friday. The Summer Concert Series is sponsored by Pepsi. Pepsi's partnership with "GMA" is an extension of the brand's newly launched global campaign "Live for Now," which invites and inspires consumers to live in the moment. Throughout the concert series, Pepsi will be creating exciting moments in music and entertainment, bringing consumers to the center of what is happening now.

Viewers interested in joining "GMA" in Central Park are encouraged to arrive at Rumsey Playfield via the 72nd street entrance on Fifth Avenue at 6:00am when the park opens to the public.
