Backstreet Boys Are Reuniting For Epic Vegas Residency At The Sphere
The legendary boy band is reuniting for a special residency at The Sphere, celebrating the 25th anniversary of their iconic album "Millennium" with a high-energy, nostalgia-filled concert series.
The iconic members, Kevin Richardson, , Howie Dorough, , and Brian Littrell, are set to perform nine exclusive shows in July, bringing their signature hits and Y2K vibes to the state-of-the-art venue.
The Sphere hyped up the announcement on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, calling it the ultimate early-2000s throwback, promising next-level sound and immersive visuals to make every Backstreet Boys classic feel bigger and better than ever.
The residency, aptly titled "Into the Millennium," will mark the first time a pop act has headlined The Sphere, setting the stage for a groundbreaking experience. Fans can expect a setlist packed with "Millennium"'s greatest hits, including 'I Want It That Way,' 'Larger Than Life,' and more, alongside other fan-favorite Backstreet bangers.
Backstreet's back and fans couldn't be more thrilled. With their highly anticipated return to the stage, the iconic boy band is reigniting nostalgia and proving once again why they're pop royalty.
"Hey, really are LARGER THAN LIFE!" one fan wrote as another expressed, "You'll never know how happy I am today! The tour that started it all! I can't wait to see you guys flying with harnesses and the 360-degree stage!"
"Congrats to you and the boys -I'm very proud of you!!! But please: First Cancun, now Vegas.... please don't forget your Fans in Europe - we need and have loved you for 30 years!" another X user begged.
Others expressed hope for a live stream. "Sounds like an amazing party. But sadly, can't join in this celebration," one X user said. "I always love a Vegas Residency, but I have to admit, it's disappointing that this isn't a World Tour 4 Millennium would have been amazing. Will you guys have a live stream too??"
Shortly after the news broke, Nick Carter took to social media to express his excitement about the upcoming reunion.
"Backstreet's baaaaack baby! We're bringing the party to @SphereVegas this July 2025!" he said in an X post.
More fans responded to Nick, sharing, "This is gonna be so cool! I can't wait to see all the content since I can't be there in person. Hopefully, you guys will bring it to Europe afterward."
"So excited and happy for you guys. I wish I could be there to celebrate with all of you! So deserved. Have so much fun," another said.
"I am happy for you and those who can participate in it," a third wrote. "Looking forward to all the photos and videos."
"This was cool. Looking forward to seeing the visuals inside," a fourth said. "I won't be seeing a show, but please film this for a DVD/Blu-ray release or on streaming platforms."
To celebrate the residency announcement, the group recreated their iconic "Millennium" album cover, sending fans straight back to 1999. With their signature harmonies, classic choreography, and a production designed to push the limits of live entertainment, this residency is shaping up to be a must-see event for pop music lovers.
The Backstreet Boys will take the stage at The Sphere on the following dates in July:
July 11, 12, 13
July 18, 19, 20
July 25, 26, 27
Tickets go on sale this Friday, so fans should act fast to secure their spot at this once-in-a-lifetime event.
Whether you've been a fan since the '90s or discovered their hits on a nostalgia playlist, this Vegas residency promises to be an unforgettable celebration of pop music's most iconic era.

Michelle Obama Reveals Why Sasha and Malia Had Different Relationships With Barack
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. THE RUNDOWN Michelle Obama revealed that Barack had a different experience parenting each of their daughters. During a recent conversation with Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union on the latest episode of her and Craig Robinson's podcast, the former first lady opened up about how Malia, 27, and Sasha, 24, related differently to their father growing up. She explained that Malia was naturally more inquisitive. 'I'd say this to Barack, when it comes to, you know, [our] oldest, Malia, she is going to figure out who you are, what do you like, and let's discuss it,' she said. She recalled that even in her adolescence, Malia made time for thoughtful conversations with her father. 'When Malia was a teenager, it wasn't that she was going out any less or doing anything differently,' Michelle said. 'She would tell me, 'I'm going out this weekend, but I'm going to go in and give dad like 15 minutes.'' Those check-ins weren't just small talk. 'She'd go into the Treaty Room and be like, 'Tell me about Syria,'' Michelle continued. 'Barack would come out and be like, 'I just had an amazing conversation with Malia.'' Michelle noted that Sasha had a different approach. 'Sasha is like a cat. She's like, 'Don't touch me, don't pet me. I'm not pleasing you. You come to me.'' Michelle emphasized that parents need to be flexible, saying you 'have to be a chameleon. Some people parent to one child, or one personality child, but then you have three.' The conversation echoed themes Michelle has touched on before, especially when it comes to giving her daughters the space to find their own way. 'It's very important for my kids to feel like they've earned what they are getting in the world,' she said during a June appearance on Sibling Revelry with Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson. 'They want to be their own people.'

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass adds Nathaniel Rateliff and more to 25th anniversary lineup
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass has added soul-rockers Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, indie songwriter Margaret Glaspy and Cuban funk star Cimafun to the lineup for its 25th anniversary festival. The free, three-day event set for Oct. 3-5 in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park will once again showcase artists far beyond the festival's bluegrass origins. Bluegrass legend Peter Rowan is slated to appear with the Sam Grisman Project to revisit the music of the band Old & In the Way. 'Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is always the great homecoming,' Rowan said. 'Sharing the stage with Sam Grisman and his band of young talented players, infused with the legacy of Old & In the Way, is a real treat.' They join a roster that already features Americana pioneer Lucinda Williams, indie rocker Courtney Barnett, jazz vocalist Samara Joy, jam band the String Cheese Incident and folk trio I'm With Her, among others. 'For our 25th birthday, we're turning the volume all the way up,' said John Caldon, the festival's executive director. 'This year is one big love letter to the music, the fans and the joy that makes Hardly Strictly Bluegrass pure magic.' The milestone celebration includes a Sept. 13 concert at Davies Symphony Hall with Lyle Lovett and the San Francisco Symphony, and a sold-out Oct. 2 tribute to Emmylou Harris at the Masonic. Nighttime 'Out of the Park' shows will also return across Bay Area venues. Organizers will release 'Hardly Strictly Bluegrass at 25: The Big Twang!,' a photography and essay collection featuring contributions from Harris, Steve Earle and others. (The Chronicle reporter of this article contributed interviews to the book.) The festival, a San Francisco tradition since 2001, remains free to the public.
