Backstreet Boys Extend Vegas Residency
Yes, you read that right—Backstreet is back!
The iconic band—Nick, Kevin, AJ, Howie, and Brian—have announced they will continue their “Millennium” residency at the Las Vegas Sphere, adding six more shows in late July and early August 2026.
In an upbeat Instagram post, they said, “You called. We answered!” This marks a significant expansion as they prepare for 12 shows in total during the summer in Sin City.
Upcoming Show Dates:
- Thursday, July 30th at 8 PM
- Friday, July 31st at 8 PM
- Saturday, August 1st at 8 PM
- Thursday, August 6th at 8 PM
- Friday, August 7th at 8 PM
- Saturday, August 8th at 8 PM
They’ll also perform additional gigs from July 16th to 25th. With a total of 47 concerts planned since launching at the Sphere in summer 2026, they are now tied for the third-most performances at this pioneering venue, close behind The Eagles and Dead & Company.
During their shows, the Backstreet Boys typically perform around 25 songs, featuring classics like “I Want It That Way,” “Larger Than Life,” and tracks from their memorable “Millennium” album.
But what really makes these concerts stand out are the spectacular visuals that transform a standard concert into an unforgettable experience. One highlight includes a dramatic opening where a rocket ship takes flight, transitioning into a space scene. A wintry backdrop during “Siberia” has also become very popular, adding depth to their performance.
Tickets for the new shows will be available starting Friday, February 27th at 11 AM PT through Ticketmaster. They are also accessible on trusted resale sites such as StubHub and Vivid Seats, where buyer guarantees ensure your tickets are secure and on time.
Upcoming Events at the Las Vegas Sphere
Before jumping back into their residency, the Backstreet Boys will headline the 2026 Bottle Rock Festival in Napa, California, alongside notable acts like Foo Fighters and Lorde, scheduled for May 22nd to 24th.
And if you’re wondering what else is happening at the Sphere, various shows, including “The Wizard of Oz” and performances by The Eagles, Illenium, and No Doubt will keep the venue buzzing with excitement.
BSB’s Set List and New Music
They first graced the Sphere stage last summer on July 11, 2025. Their setlist notably included several tracks from their 1999 “Millennium” album, along with some newer songs like “Hey,” released on February 14, 2025. This emotional track was initially penned for their 2019 album, but the timing of its release seemed perfect for their upcoming shows, as Brian Littrell mentioned during an appearance on the Today Show.
Notable Artists on Tour in 2026
In addition to the Backstreet Boys, many esteemed artists are set to take the stage over the coming months. Some favorites include:
- Harry Styles
- Louis Tomlinson
- Ed Sheeran
- Bruno Mars
- BTS
There’s definitely no shortage of talent on the horizon, and keeping tabs on these events and artists could lead to some fantastic experiences for concert-goers in 2026!
