Backstreet Boys: Into the Millennium is the second concert residency by American vocal group Backstreet Boys, which takes place at Sphere in Paradise, Nevada, in the Las Vegas Valley. The show primarily features songs from their 1999 album Millennium to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its release. They are the first pop act to perform at Sphere.

Background The residency was announced on February 11, 2025. Promotional efforts included a live performance and interview on Today, a brand partnership with Crumbl featuring five desserts inspired by each band member, and Backstreet Boys Terminal, an "immersive pop-up experience" located at The Venetian Resort. Backstreet Boys Terminal is a two-story, interactive exhibit where fans can take photos with Millennium-themed sets, view memorabilia, purchase exclusive merchandise, and write messages for the band to read. The band also released Millennium 2.0, a remastered edition of their album with additional unreleased demos, live recordings from the original Into the Millennium Tour, and a new single, “Hey."

In an interview with Billboard, the band encouraged fans to wear "something all-white" to the show.

Production

Staging

The staging for the tour featured a floating platform suspended by wires that levitated from the main stage up to 75 feet. Stage directors added a metal support stand to the platform to accommodate vocalist Brian Littrell's fear of heights.

Performance and show elements

Baz Halpin, show producer and director, described production as "technologically complicated" and a distinct concept from the Into the Millennium Tour that took place in 1999-2000. “We wanted to build a story around Millennium — give it a character, then let world-building from song-to-song transpire from that... We’ve built a galaxy which incorporates things people will recognize, but it’s Spherified.” The Big Sky motion-control camera system was used to capture live-action movements for projected visuals.

Critical reception The residency has received widespread critical acclaim. Billboard wrote, "They didn’t miss a note or a beat — as they also included all the nostalgic choreography we’ve come to expect." USA Today highlighted "Siberia" as notable performance and wrote, "the adrenaline of the final batch of songs would enthrall even the snarkiest music purists." Glamour stated, "The visuals were out of this world." Las Vegas Weekly wrote, "That 16k resolution screen, a vision of technological wizardry, shapeshifted before our eyes to bring the Backstreet Boys’ vision into the modern age."

Commercial performance As of February 2026, there have been 550,620 tickets sold and a total gross revenue of $93.5 million.
