This past weekend, global pop icons Backstreet Boys debuted at Sphere in Las Vegas, kicking off their Into the Millennium summer residency with sold-out back-to-back shows on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Produced by Live Nation, the 21-date run marks a major milestone as the Backstreet Boys become the first pop act ever to perform at the groundbreaking venue.
Bringing their legendary 1999 Millennium album to life like never before, the show features a career-spanning setlist that includes iconic hits such as “Larger Than Life” and “I Want It That Way,” along with fan favorites from their 30-year catalog. Enhanced by Sphere’s state-of-the-art visuals and immersive audio technology, the performance redefines what a pop concert looks and feels like.
Opening night coincided with the release of Millennium 2.0, a deluxe reissue of their chart-topping, five-time Grammy-nominated album. Out now via Sony Legacy, the 25-track edition includes all 12 original remastered songs, rare B-sides, demos, live recordings, and their new single “Hey,” available now.
The residency continues next weekend with shows on July 18, 19, and 20, and will run every weekend through Sunday, August 24, 2025.
Sphere’s next-generation technologies include the world’s highest resolution LED display that wraps up, over, and around the audience, creating a fully immersive visual environment. The venue also features the world’s most advanced concert-grade audio system, Sphere Immersive Sound, which delivers audio with unmatched clarity and precision to every guest.
