Backstreet Boys Add New Year's Weekend Shows at Sphere

Into the Millennium launched in July 2025, making the Backstreet Boys the first pop act to headline Sphere. Since then the residency has drawn more than 750,000 fans across 47 consecutive sold-out shows, and this new run comes on top of that streak rather than replacing any of it. The band already played a New Year's Eve show at Sphere on December 31, 2025, so this December 31 date makes it two years running.

Fans have made a habit of showing up dressed head to toe in white, a nod to the cover art of the band's 1999 album Millennium, which the show leans on heavily alongside a run of the group's other hits. The residency's calling card is Sphere's own hardware, band members flying through the room using the venue's spatial rigging while the wraparound screen fills with matching visuals.

Fan club presale opens Tuesday, August 18 at 10 a.m. Pacific. Artist presale follows Wednesday, August 19 at 10 a.m. Pacific, but you need to register by Monday, August 17 at 10 p.m. to get an access code for that window. General public tickets go on sale Friday, August 21 at 10 a.m.

New Year's dates at Sphere have sold out fast in the past, so if you want in, treat that August 21 date as a real deadline rather than a soft one.

Sphere sits behind the Venetian and the Palazzo, so either resort keeps you a short, mostly indoor walk from the door on show night, which matters when you are also fighting New Year's crowds on the Strip. I have covered before whether Backstreet Boys tickets at Sphere are worth the price during a normal residency run, and that same math still holds, the room itself is the draw, but expect New Year's dates specifically to price and sell above a typical weeknight.

If a New Year's Eve show is the anchor of your trip, book the hotel now. Strip rooms near Sphere fill up for New Year's regardless of any single concert, and a sold-out Backstreet Boys date on top of that will not make rooms any easier to find closer to December 31.
