What songs are on Backstreet Boys' setlist for Las Vegas Sphere shows?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. The ball has finally dropped on 'Into the Millennium.' After announcing their Las Vegas Sphere residency way back in mid-February, Backstreet Boys put on the first three concerts of their 21-show run at the visually-spectacular venue this past weekend. On Friday, July 11, their inaugural night, Nick, AJ, Howie, Kevin and Brian performed 25 songs according to Set List FM. And, while the Sphere residency is named after the group's best-selling 1999 album they didn't play the iconic record in order. 'Larger Than Life' — the album opener — kicked off the show but from there they jumped into the lively 'It's Gotta Be You' (the fourth track) instead of 'I Want It That Way.' From there, they continued mixing things up and keeping fans on their toes. Classics from the self-titled 1996 'Backstreet Boys' like 'As Long As You Love Me,' 'Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)' worked their way into the show. 'Black and Blue' was represented by 'More Than That' and 'Shape of My Heart.' Perhaps most exciting of all though was the inclusion of 'Millennium' tracks that hadn't been performed live in years. 'I Need You Tonight' and 'The Perfect Fan' made their first appearances in over a quarter century; 'Spanish Eyes' returned after nearly a decade on the shelf. They even debuted their new single 'Hey' off the recently re-released 'Millennium 2.0.' Outside of the music, the show itself was…'Larger Than Life.' '…this was more than a mere concert, it was a thrill ride, and the vibrating haptic seats and nonstop visuals elicited shrieks in their own right,' USA Today gushed int their glowing review of the July 11 concert. 'The nearly two-hour joyride came with a futuristic spaceship theme – a nod to their bazillion-selling 'Millennium' album, the celebratory theme of these Vegas shows.' Plus, ''I Want It That Way' marked the first time a Sphere concert has involved a moving apparatus,' USA Today reported. 'The guys stood atop a platform that rose astoundingly high during the finger-snapping pop behemoth while lasers zigzagged around them.' If you'd like to see the beloved boy band live, tickets are available for all remaining Backstreet Boys concerts from now until Aug. 24. For more information, our team has everything you need to know and more about the 'Into the Millennium' Las Vegas Sphere residency below. All prices listed above are subject to fluctuation. All 18 remaining BSB dates — from July 18 through Aug. 24 — can be found here: Backstreet Boys Sphere dates 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 p.m. When Nick Carter and co. aren't lighting up the Sphere stage, many other exciting shows are headed to Vegas' premier entertainment destination.

Here's what the '90s heroes delivered that evening, based on our findings at Set List FM. All 1999 'Millennium' songs are in bold. 01.) 'Larger Than Life'02.) 'It's Gotta Be You'03.) 'As Long as You Love Me'04.) 'More Than That'05.) 'I Need You Tonight' 06.) 'Siberia'07.) 'Don't Want You Back'08.) 'Get Another Boyfriend'09.) 'Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely'10.)

'Everybody (Backstreet's Back)' On Valentine's Day this year, Backstreet Boys released the single 'Hey.' The emotionally charged track was originally written for the band's 2019 album 'DNA' but ultimately didn't fit in with the album. 'We wanted to hold on to it and [then] this announcement happened, it was like, 'Oh my gosh, what better way to present a brand-new song?' So it turned out perfect,' Brian Littrell shared with The Today Show. If you'd like to hear the guys' latest heartbreaking bop, you can find 'Hey' here. For those that want to dig even deeper, we recommend checking out 'Millennium 2.0,' which features the original 12 tracks, 'Hey,' a few other new songs, alternate lyrics to 'I Want It That Way,' a couple demos and live versions of songs. It's a lot but perfect for any fan that wants a closer look at one of the definitive albums of the late '90s. Many hitmakers you know and love will be out and about these next few months. To make sure you're in the loop, here are just five of our favorites you won't want to miss live in the very near future. • Coldplay • New Kids On The Block • Oasis • Maroon 5 • Jonas Brothers Who else is on the road? Take a look at our list of all the biggest artists on tour in 2025 to find the show for you. This article was written by Matt Levy, New York Post live events reporter. Levy stays up-to-date on all the latest tour announcements from your favorite musical artists and comedians, as well as Broadway openings, sporting events and more live shows – and finds great ticket prices online.
