For any teenager who grew up during the 1990s, they witnessed the birth of the Backstreet Boys. Consisting of Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson, and Howie Dorough, the boy band took over the airwaves with hits like “I Want It That Way.” Throughout the years, the group sold over 130 million albums and won countless awards. They even received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Having toured the world and solidified themselves as one of the top boy bands in music, it seemed the Backstreet Boys weren’t done just yet as the band announced a residency at the Las Vegas Sphere.

For decades, bands grew accustomed to the average stage. Needing a great deal of light and pyrotechnics, bands learned to dress the stage to their liking. But then the Madison Square Garden Company announced the Las Vegas Sphere. Packed with LED screens and standing over 360 feet tall, the sphere welcomed a new era of concerts. With bands anxious to perform on the stage, the Backstreet Boys shared the exciting news on Instagram.
