If you missed out on getting tickets for the Backstreet Boys‘ larger than life Into the Millennium Las Vegas residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas there is some good news. On Wednesday morning (Aug. 13), the boy band announced that due to demand they are extending their run at the iconic immersive venue, adding seven new shows in December and January 2026, including a New Year’s Eve gig.
The fresh dates will take place on Dec. 26, 27, 28, 30 and 31, as well as Jan. 2 and 3.
BSB are the first pop band to take up residence at the domed venue and according to a release, at the end of the 21 previously announced, sold-out gigs they will have performed in front of 350,000 fans. Tickets for the newly added dates will go on sale first via a Backstreet Boys Fan Club pre-sale beginning on Aug. 19 at 9 a.m. PT, followed by an artist pre-sale beginning on Aug. 20 at 9 a.m. PT; sign up for the artist pre-sale here through 7 p.m. PT on Aug. 17. A general on-sale will kick off on Aug. 22 at 9 a.m. PT here.
U2 helped launch the venue in Sept. 2023, followed by Phish, Dead & Company, the Eagles, EDM artist Anyma and Kenny Chesney. BSB kicked off their 21-show run of Sphere gigs on July 11, with the current residency slated to wind down this Sunday (Aug. 17) before picking back up in December.
According to a Billboard report on opening night, the eye-popping spectacle, “transported fans to outer space as a massive screen surrounded them with visuals of a spacecraft right before the band appeared on stage. The Backstreet Boys — Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean and Kevin Richardson — launched into a night of hits with ‘Larger Than Life,’ which was the perfect description of the show they had created.”
