LAS VEGAS, Nev., Nov. 12, 2026. The Backstreet Boys are spending the holidays at Sphere. Into the Millennium, the residency that opened at the venue in July 2025, returns for six shows between Dec. 26, 2026 and Jan. 2, 2027, including a New Year's Eve night.
The holiday run grew the way most Sphere bookings do. New Year's Eve and Jan. 1 and 2 were announced in August. The Hype Magazine covered that announcement, which pointed to "continued fan demand." Dec. 26 and 27 are also on the calendar, and in October the band added Dec. 29.
Dress code: white
The show is built around Millennium, the 1999 album that sold in numbers pop records rarely reach anymore. Fans have turned up night after night dressed in white, a nod to the album cover, and the room looks like a sea of it from the upper seats. Reviews of the 2025 shows were warm. USA Today's critic called it "a thrill ride" and praised the harmonies, which is not a given for a group three decades in.
AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell have never been subtle performers, and Sphere does not ask them to be. The screen handles the spectacle while the five of them work the songs: "I Want It That Way," "Larger Than Life," "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely."
A New Year's Eve worth planning around
Vegas on Dec. 31 is a lot, and the Strip itself turns into a street party. OnesToWatch put the Backstreet Boys at Sphere on its short list of the best New Year's Eve concerts in the country this year, and it is easy to see why. It is the rare countdown show where the whole crowd knows every word.
Our take: if you were 12 in 1999, there is no better way to spend the last night of 2026. If you were not, go anyway. It is one of the best-sung shows the venue has hosted.
