About the Venue — Sphere Las Vegas

Sphere is a revolutionary entertainment venue located at 255 Sands Avenue on the Las Vegas Strip, adjacent to The Venetian Resort. Opened in September 2023, the 18,600-seat venue features the world’s largest and highest-resolution LED screen — a 160,000-square-foot interior display that wraps around the entire audience — and the Sphere Immersive Sound system with over 164,000 speakers providing beamforming and wave field synthesis audio. For the Backstreet Boys residency, this technology transforms the venue into a fully immersive visual and sonic environment that places fans inside the music.

The Into the Millennium Experience

The “Into the Millennium” show is not a typical concert — it is a full-scale immersive production that utilizes every inch of Sphere’s capabilities. The 360-degree LED display surrounds the audience with visual environments that shift between nostalgic 1990s imagery, futuristic landscapes, and intimate close-ups as the band performs the Millennium album front-to-back alongside career-spanning greatest hits. Standout moments include the group physically flying through the venue and a crowd-wide all-white dress code that turns the audience itself into part of the visual spectacle.

USA Today called it “more than a mere concert — it was a thrill ride,” while The Hollywood Reporter proclaimed it “a game-changer for Sphere.” The show has earned a Clio Music Award Silver for the accompanying BSB Terminal fan activation at The Venetian Resort — an airport-themed immersive experience that extends the Millennium universe beyond the concert itself.

Millennium 2.0

The residency coincides with the release of Millennium 2.0, a deluxe edition of the original 1999 album released via Sony Legacy. The reissue features remastered tracks, live recordings, demos, and the new single “HEY.” The original Millennium album sold over 40 million copies worldwide, spent five weeks at Number 1 on the Billboard 200, and set the record for first-week sales at the time of its release. Follow the band on Instagram, Facebook, and X (Twitter).

What to Wear and What to Know

The all-white dress code is a fan-driven tradition, not a venue requirement — but it has become a defining part of the Into the Millennium experience. The look pays homage to the iconic all-white outfits worn by the group on the Millennium album cover. Sphere also offers 90s-themed food and drink including the Millennium Burger, Sphere Sushi, Hot Topic Lemonade, and Y2Kosmo cocktail at select concession stands. Sphere’s bag policy and entry requirements can be found at thesphere.com.

The Backstreet Boys perform at BottleRock Napa Valley on May 24, 2026, before returning to Sphere in July. After the summer residency dates, the group heads to Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany for a 10-show run in September and October 2026, bringing the Into the Millennium production to European audiences for the first time.
