Backstreet Boys are gearing up to kick off their Into The Millennium Las Vegas residency at the Sphere, where they’ll become the first pop act and boy band to play the state-of-the-art 17,600 seat venue, which is located at 255 Sands Ave in Las Vegas, Nevada. They’ll join an elite list of artists who have graced the immersive stage, including Kenny Chesney, Dead & Company, The Eagles, Phish, U2 and Afterlife Presents Anyma.
The GRAMMY-nominated boy band, composed of Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, and cousins Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson, will take the stage for 21 shows, beginning on Friday, July 11, and continuing through Sunday, August 24.
Produced by Live Nation, this residency promises to be unlike anything Backstreet Boys have ever done before, thanks to the Sphere’s cutting-edge technology. Fans can expect an unforgettable show as the Backstreet Boys bring their iconic Millennium album, along with their world-renowned hits such as “I Want It That Way,” “Larger Than Life,” “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” and more to life in a new way with Sphere’s stunning visuals and immersive sound technology, powered by HOLOPLOT.

“We are thrilled to announce our Summer 2025 residency at the Sphere Las Vegas,” the best-selling boy band in history shared in a statement, collectively. “We are bringing the ‘Into the Millennium’ tour to this state-of-the-art facility, where we can do things we could have never have imagined back in ’99. The coolest part is that we are the very first POP ACT to take over Sphere Las Vegas, and we’re going to bring you an experience you’ll never forget!”
The Backstreet Boys originally announced nine shows for their Las Vegas residency, but overwhelming demand led them to add more dates, expanding the run to 21 shows in total.

“When this opportunity came to us to do the Sphere, it just made sense. I mean, it’s a comeback on the next level. You can’t get any bigger than the Sphere,” Dorough told PEOPLE. “We’re bringing a rebirth to a record that we released years ago and taking our fans, some that have either seen some of the show back in the days, or some that weren’t even probably born yet that are seeing it for the first time. We’re very blessed to be able to go back to Vegas too in this style — larger than life!”

24 Song Set List, Including A Few Surprises
According to AJ McLean, Backstreet Boys’ set at Sphere will feature 24 songs, including a few medleys and surprises.
“There is one song in particular that will surprise fans that we haven’t done live since the Unbreakable tour,” McLean told Hello Magazine in a recent interview. “We did it on Never Gone with Kevin, and then we did it again on Unbreakable with just the four of us, but we haven’t done it since then.”
Backstreet Boys’ Sphere Set List Will Heavily Features Song From Millennium
The award-winning boy band’s set list will heavily feature songs from their 1999 album, Millennium, to mark the project’s 25th anniversary. Millennium, named one of the best-selling albums of all time (selling over 24 million copies worldwide), features some of the Backstreet Boys’ biggest hits such as “I Want It That Way,” “Larger Than Life,” “Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely,” “The One” and more.
In addition to showcasing the success of their third studio album, Backstreet Boys will also perform some of their most beloved hits such as “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” and many more.
To Include Jaw-Dropping Visuals And High-Energy Live Show
The concert will be unlike anything the Backstreet Boys have ever done before and will feature jaw-dropping visuals in addition to the high-energy live show that the group is known for.
“This venue is one of a kind, the possibilities are endless, and so we are just in full creative mode right now with our creative team, getting the setlist together, going over visual concepts,” Richardson told PEOPLE.
“There are going to be a lot of sections of the show, both content and live, that people are going to be talking about,” AJ previously told Hello Magazine. He also teased that it will “literally feel like the band is singing directly to you”. McLean continued, “I would assume half the crowd’s going to watch us, half the crowd’s going to watch the screen, and then you’re going to have to come back and switch it because you’re just not going to be able to see everything at the same time – which is awesome!”
Brian Littrell added, “We talk about it a lot: it’s almost like two different shows going on at the same time because there’s the show on the screen, but there’s a show on the stage, and so the important part is to integrate those two shows together because you don’t want to lose anybody. “We’re not The Eagles. We don’t stand up there in one spot and play instruments. We dance around, we hype the crowd. I don’t think there’s any fear, just excitement as we ask: ‘How do we do it differently?’ And we’ve got some tricks up our sleeves.”
