The Backstreet Boys are hitting pause—but just for a little while. After wrapping up an electrifying string of 21 shows at the iconic Las Vegas Sphere as part of their “Into The Millennium” residency, the legendary group will be taking a brief four-month break. Fans can look forward to their much-anticipated return starting December 26, 2025, with a fresh slate of performances that stretch into early 2026. The initial comeback show lands just one day after Christmas, setting the stage for another immersive concert experience unlike any other.
Following their December relaunch, the band will continue performing on select nights through mid-February. Scheduled show dates include December 27, 28, 30, and 31, followed by a string of January and February performances. These shows promise to deliver the same high-energy spectacle fans have come to expect—with dramatic stage effects, tight choreography, and a setlist packed with nostalgia. Highlights from the residency include a full (though shuffled) run-through of their 1999 smash album Millennium as well as visual stunners like floating platforms, retro-futuristic backdrops, and a spaceship moment fans won’t soon forget.
If you’re planning to attend, ticket prices vary by date, with the most affordable starting around $352, including fees, for the December 31 performance. Other dates range from the mid-$300s to over $500, depending on demand. The band typically performs a 25-song setlist, which includes beloved hits like “I Want It That Way,” “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” and “Shape of My Heart.” A few rarities and long-awaited returns—like “I Need You Tonight” and “The Perfect Fan”—have also made it back into the mix for this residency, adding depth to the concert experience for die-hard fans.
This show isn’t just a trip down memory lane; it’s a full-blown sensory journey. Critics have praised the Sphere for its cutting-edge production design, calling the venue “completely immersive” and “unlike anything seen before.” With the audience enveloped in stunning visuals and atmospheric effects, it’s easy to feel like you’ve been transported to another world. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the Backstreet Boys’ discography, this residency is a celebration of the group’s enduring legacy—and the kind of show that resonates on both an emotional and visual level.
In addition to the Backstreet Boys, the Las Vegas Sphere is hosting a variety of major acts throughout the remainder of 2025. Upcoming events include Darren Aronofsky’s immersive film Postcard From Earth, the EDM-packed Insomniac x Tomorrowland: Unity festival, and performances by The Eagles, Zac Brown Band, and more. But for BSB fans, the big draw is clear: the boys are back, and they’re bringing their full star power to one of the most dazzling stages in the world.
