Backstreet Boys Extends Vegas Residency
Everybody, rock your body right! Backstreet Boys is headed back to Las Vegas in November for more residency performances.
“There are so many great things happening right now,” AJ MacLean said. “We have a sold out Las Vegas residency, a new record coming and our single with Florida Georgia Line is a Top 5 single at country radio. Vegas is going to see a lot more of us!”
Backstreet Boys and Florida Georgia Line teamed up to record the hit song “God, Your Mama, and Me,” which is included on the country duo’s third studio album, 2016’s Dig Your Roots. Earlier this week the groups appeared on “Ellen” to perform the tune.
Fans can catch Backstreet Boys and Florida Georgia Line sharing a stage when the Boys join the FGL for stadium shows at Boston’s Fenway Park July 7, Minneapolis’ Target Field July 29 and Chicago’s Wrigley Field Aug. 12.

Now let’s talk Vegas. Previously announced dates for “Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life” are scheduled at The Axis At Planet Hollywood from June 15 through July 1.
The new November shows are slotted Nov. 8-18. And then the guys will be back in early 2018 for performances scheduled Jan. 31 through Feb. 17.
The one-of-kind production was created and directed by Raj Kapoor.
“The guys deserve major props for still being able to pull off their smooth dance moves from the ’90s and the ’00s. … They just don’t make boy bands like The Backstreet Boys anymore, and seeing how seamlessly they all work together to this day proves it. I would declare the band back, but they never really left their fans behind,” Bustle’s Savienna Bowman writes.
Along with the new dates, Backstreet Boys announced today that the group is partnering with Boys & Girls Club of Southern Nevada to donate $1 from every ticket purchased to the residency to BGCSNV.
“We’re touched by how the city of Las Vegas has embraced us since we launched the show,” Nick Carter said. “Partnering with the Boys & Girls Club of Southern Nevada gives us a chance to give back to the Las Vegas community.”
A fan club presale for the new Las Vegas dates begins June 10. Tickets go on sale to the general public June 16 at 10 a.m. PDT.
