Backstreet’s back for the holidays: the Backstreet Boys bring Into The Millennium to Sphere in Las Vegas, opening Saturday, December 26, 2026, at 8:00 PM Pacific.
Into The Millennium celebrates the group’s era-defining 1999 album Millennium — the record behind “I Want It That Way,” “Larger Than Life” and “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely” — rebuilt as a full Sphere production, with the venue’s wraparound 16K LED screen and immersive audio turning the biggest-selling boy band of all time into a full-sensory spectacle. The holiday run is one of the most in-demand tickets of the Las Vegas winter: six shows between Christmas and the first weekend of January, including a special 10:00 PM performance on New Year’s Eve.
Date, time and show details
What: Backstreet Boys: Into The Millennium
When: Saturday, December 26, 2026 — 8:00 PM Pacific (additional dates December 27 and 29, December 31 at 10:00 PM, and January 1 and 2, 2027)
Where: Sphere, 255 Sands Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89169
December 26 is opening night of the run and the only Saturday — expect the biggest crowd energy of the six shows. Doors typically open 90 minutes before showtime at Sphere, and the venue asks guests to arrive early for security screening and to find their sections in the steep, bowl-style seating.
The venue: Sphere
Sphere is the 17,600-seat immersive venue just east of the Strip, connected to The Venetian by a pedestrian bridge. Its interior wraps the audience in a 160,000-square-foot LED display — the highest-resolution screen on Earth — paired with beamforming audio that delivers the same mix to every seat and haptic seats that move with the show. Residencies by U2, Dead & Company and the Eagles have made it the most talked-about concert room in the world.

Getting to Sphere

Most guests arrive via the pedestrian bridge from The Venetian Expo, by rideshare to the venue’s dedicated drop-off, or on foot from the Strip; event parking is limited and pre-booked. The Las Vegas Monorail stops at Harrah’s/The LINQ and the Convention Center, both a short walk away.

Good to know before you go: Sphere shows start promptly and latecomers may be held from their seats during immersive sequences, so build in extra time for the walk from the Strip. The venue is fully cashless, and large bags are not permitted — travel light, keep your phone charged for mobile tickets, and plan your rideshare pickup away from the immediate venue exits after the show.
