The Backstreet Boys are ringing in 2027 the only way they know how—bigger, better, and fully immersive. Due to continued fan demand, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, and Kevin Richardson have added three new dates to their wildly successful Into the Millennium residency at Sphere in Las Vegas.
The newly announced shows will take place on December 31, 2026, January 1, 2027, and January 2, 2027. Fans who missed last year’s New Year’s celebration at the Sphere now have another chance to experience the high-energy production that has already drawn more than 750,000 people across 47 sold-out shows since launching in July 2025.
As the first pop act to headline Sphere, the Backstreet Boys have turned the groundbreaking venue into a full-sensory celebration of their 1999 blockbuster album Millennium. Audiences regularly show up dressed in all white—a nod to the iconic album cover—while the group delivers hits like “I Want It That Way,” “Larger Than Life,” and “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely” against the Sphere’s massive 360-degree visuals and immersive sound system.
