Backstreet Boys announce Las Vegas residency

It has been confirmed this evening that the Backstreet Boys will begin an 18-date residency at The AXIS at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on March 1, 2017. 

Billboard announced the exciting news this evening (September 23) and explained that the run of dates will be seen as a trial that could lead to a longer contract. 

Member Brian Littrell said, "If you’ve ever been to a Backstreet Boys show… it’s going to be that on steroids." Singer Kevin Richardson added: "We’re going to call the show Larger Than Life, and we’re taking that theme and we’re going to run with it."

Nine of the dates will take place in March, then eight gigs will take place in June with the final one scheduled to be held on July 1. Tickets for all shows are due to go on sale at 10am on October 1. 

Jason Gastwirth, Caesars Entertainment senior vice president of marketing and entertainment, issued a statement on the announcement and said: "The AXIS marked a new era of entertainment, bringing the first pop music residencies to the famed Las Vegas Strip. Introducing the Backstreet Boys further solidifies our reputation as a premier destination for live entertainment."
