Backstreet Boys return to Vegas, hint at NSYNC reunion

Backstreet Boys return to the stage, hinting at more than just nostalgia.

The Backstreet Boys are preparing for their Las Vegas residency, “Into the Millennium,” which runs from July 11 to August 24 at the Sphere.

The show will feature 24 songs, including the full Millennium album, fan favorites, and a new single titled “Hey.”

Designed with immersive visuals, the performance will incorporate 4D effects, a 350-foot LED screen, and over 167,000 speakers. AJ McLean described the show as “next-level,” with one segment being “very cold and intense,” and noted that Kevin Richardson may become emotional onstage.

As part of their return to the spotlight, the group is also addressing fan interest in a possible NSYNC collaboration.

Nick Carter confirmed in an interview with Parade that discussions have taken place with management teams. “We’ve talked about it a ton, actually,” he said.

Joey Fatone has also publicly expressed interest, though NSYNC has not announced any reunion or joint plans. For now, both groups appear open to the idea, but no collaboration is scheduled.

This residency marks the first time a pop group will headline at the Sphere, following previous acts like U2 and Dead & Company.

The Backstreet Boys say they hope to honor their past while introducing new material using the venue’s advanced production technology.

The focus remains on the upcoming shows and new music, with potential crossovers still in the discussion phase.
