Backstreet Boys Bring Back Iconic Y2K Album for Vegas Sphere Concerts

Some albums just hit differently, even decades later. And for a certain generation of pop fans, “Millennium” by the Backstreet Boys was the moment. Now, the guys are giving their 1999 mega-hit album the celebration it deserves; with a high-tech, nostalgia-packed residency at the Las Vegas Sphere. Yep, you read that right. The iconic boy band is taking over the most futuristic venue in Vegas to throw it all the way back to the Y2K era.


“Millennium” Is Getting the Glow-Up It Deserves

The new show is set to kick off this summer, with concerts in July and August, according to Rolling Stone. It will center around the “Millennium” album, which (let’s not forget) gave us “Larger Than Life,” “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely,” “The One,” “Don’t Want You Back” and pretty much the entire soundtrack to your middle school crushes. The group promises an immersive spectacle with visuals, sound, and storytelling built specifically for the Sphere, and honestly? It’s about time “Millennium” got a reboot worthy of its pop legacy.

BSB’s AJ McLean has described the experience as “one incredible experience,” while Nick Carter promised fans a “sensory overload” (Billboard). And with over 24 million copies sold worldwide, “Millennium” wasn’t just a chart-topper… it was a cultural reset. The matching outfits, the music videos, the synchronized spins? Unmatched. Now, they’re bringing it all back with Sphere-level production that makes the original MTV “TRL” era look like a school talent show.


Yes, You’ll Hear That Song — And Then Some 

And yes, “I Want It That Way” will be on the setlist. Along with a few deep cuts, fan favorites, and surprise moments that haven’t been spoiled yet. So whether you were a die-hard Kevin girl or proudly team AJ, this show is built to hit you right in the teenage feelings; in the best possible way. They are also planning to perform their new single, “Hey” live, which was released earlier this year.

The Sphere’s 360-degree visuals and next-level audio tech are basically designed for pop spectacle. It’s not just a concert… it’s a time machine with LED walls and perfect harmonies. If you’ve ever wanted to relive your Backstreet era in a way that feels both nostalgic and totally over-the-top, this one’s for you.


How to See The Show

Tickets for the “Into the Millennium” residency at the Las Vegas Sphere are officially on sale now. The residency runs from July 11 to August 24, 2025, with performances on select dates throughout this period. Ticket prices start at around $125, depending on the show date and seating selection.
