Backstreet Boys: Into The Millennium

Into the Millennium hits Sphere on Thursday, August 13, the midweek opener of the fifth week of the residency’s Las Vegas summer stretch. The Backstreet Boys’ core musical strength — five complementary voices singing meticulously arranged pop that was built to fill large spaces — is exactly what Sphere’s audio system was engineered to amplify.

If you’ve been on the fence about making the trip down the Strip, the fifth week is when a residency like this hits its full stride, and Thursday nights here have a focused crowd energy that rewards the decision.
