Backstreet Boys' behind-the-scenes Vegas Sphere residency rituals revealed

Backstreet Boys may have been a band for over 30 years, but each member has their own unique routine before hitting the stage. Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson became what would later be known as the best-selling boy band of all time in 1993 but their debut single 'We've Got It Goin' On' and hit ballad 'I'll Never Break Your Heart' put them on the map in 1995 and 1996, respectively. Those two singles, along with several of their chart-topping smashes, are woven into the Backstreet Boys' highly talked-about 'Into The Millennium' residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas. 22 (L-R) Kevin Richardson, AJ McLean, Nick Carter, Brian Littrell and Howie Dorough of the Backstreet Boys.

And on the smallest things, too, as well, 'Where should I look? Should I look onstage left or should I look straight to the right?'' Rich added, saying his biggest note for Howie is ''just be you.

Twice fans, known as Once, are overjoyed as Twice has started their 6th world tour. The group announced the first part of the This Is For world tour, which will bring the girl group to major cities across Asia and Australia. Fans in other parts of the globe don't need to worry, however, as more dates and locations will be added to the tour for 2026 when they announce part two. I've gathered everything we know about how to get Twice tickets below, and be sure to keep tabs on this story for updated details as they go live. The This Is For world tour is in support of their newest album of the same name. This Is For album is Twice's fourth studio album and was released on May 19, 2025.

Twice is a South Korean girl group formed by JYP Entertainment. It debuted in October 2015 after the group was formed on the reality survival show Sixteen. The girl group has nine members: Jihyo, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu. If you're looking for how to get tickets to Twice's 2025 tour, then we've got you covered.

How to buy tickets for Twice's 2025 concert tour You can buy standard original tickets for Twice's This IS For world tour on Live Nation. For each concert date, ticket presale goes live the day before that can be registered for a day in advance. Original tickets have sold out for each concert date so far, which is a trend we expect to continue, so it is recommended to sign up for presale if you're looking to nab original tickets. Tickets to Twice's 2025 concert tour can also be purchased through verified resale ticket vendors like StubHub and Vivid Seats. Given how quickly original tickets have been selling, you may find better luck with seating variety and availability on these sites after the seats go live. Original ticket sales have not gone live for all ticket dates, so not all dates are available on StubHub yet. It's also important to note that resale tickets for Twice's 2025 shows in Asia and Australia aren't available to purchase on Vivid Seats. How much are Twice tickets? Ticket prices for the original This Is For world tour aren't available to check before ticket sales start at each location; however, on average, tickets to see Twice perform live have historically ranged anywhere between $200 and $300 or $500 to $600, depending on date and location. Of the tickets available on StubHub as of writing, the lowest-cost tickets to Twice's Japan shows range from $294 for the August 23 show in Aichi to $459 for the Fukuoka show on August 30. Who is opening for Twice's tour? Twice does not have any opening acts for its This Is For world tour, which is standard for K-pop concerts. When the show time begins, the girls of Twice will appear onstage. Will there be international tour dates? All of the concert dates announced so far for the This Is For world tour are international concerts. For part one of the tour, there are 15 more shows in major cities across Asia and four shows scheduled for major cities in Australia. We don't know yet what additional countries will be added to the tour for part two, but we will provide more information once it becomes available. Who are the Twice members? Twice consists of nine members who have been with the group since it formed in 2015 through the TV survival program Sixteen. The members include: Jihyo is the leader of the girl group and one of the primary vocalists. Nayeon is the center of the group, so she is in the middle position for most choreography. She is also a vocalist, dancer, and one of the group's visuals. Jeongyeon is one of the lead vocalists for the girl group. Momo is the group's lead dancer and acts as a backup vocalist and rapper. Sana is a vocalist for the girl group. Mina is one of the main dancers and vocalists for the group. Dahyun is one of the two main rappers as well as a vocalist for the group.

Content creators are cashing in with live events

Forget Cowboy Carter or the Eras tour, the hottest ticket this year is for your favorite podcast. Content creator tours sold nearly 500% more tickets this year compared to 2024, according to StubHub, with Alex Cooper's 'Unwell' tour, Crime Junkie's podcast tour and Mel Robbins' 'Let Them' tour the highest in demand. With ticket prices at nearly 40% less than traditional live events on average, it's easy to see why. Going to a live concert is only getting more expensive, with many concertgoers sucking up the eye-popping prices and price gouging on resale sites rather than deal with the potential FOMO. The average price of tickets sold across all live entertainment in 2024 was $159. The Taylor Swift's Era's tour cost fans an average of $1,088 per ticket in 2023, The New York Times reported. For the top six creator tours, it was just $99. Scheduling tour dates in locations often bypassed by mainstream artists, like Wyoming and Vermont, has also helped boost sales. During her own 'Eras' tour, influencer Trisha Paytas paid visits to Tysons, Virginia and St. Louis, Missouri. Meanwhile, TikTok star Jake Shane's Therapuss cross-country tour stopped in places like Birmingham, Alabama and Athens, Georgia. 'When we look at state-level consumption, Illinois has emerged as the creator economy's biggest fanbase, purchasing 20% more tickets than any other market,' Adam Budelli, Partnerships & Business Development at StubHub told Fast Company. 'Texans are not only the largest single-state fanbase for female-hosted podcast content, but also show unique consumption patterns, with 7% more single-ticket buyers than California, despite having a smaller population.' Thanks to the boom in video podcasts, what started as an audio-only experience enjoyed alone, now has more in common with your traditional chat show. Nearly three-quarters of podcast consumers watch their podcasts, compared with about a quarter who listen only. 'I think the biggest differentiator is that there are more opportunities for audiences who do attend to actually interact with the creators,' creator economy expert Lindsey Gamble tells Fast Company. 'Because being able to tour and bring people out in real life shows that they actually have a community and relationship with their followers or subscribers—enough where people are willing to dedicate their time and their dollars to see them in person.' For creators, it can also be lucrative. As well as bringing in money through membership models and merch, with many podcasts typically over an hour long, a live show or tour is a natural extension of the existing format. 'We're seeing fans who have built these deep, parasocial relationships with creators through podcasts and social media finally getting the chance to complete that connection in person,' Gamble says. 'It's different from a traditional concert where you're watching a performance, where at creator events, fans feel like they're hanging out with someone they already know intimately.'
