The residency concluded right before the band embarked on their 10th concert tour, the DNA World Tour. The tour was huge, spanning over five years and consisting of 12 legs. Throughout that time, they performed 220 shows across the world.
Since their inception, the Backstreet Boys have been a touring machine. They have headlined 10 concert tours and two residencies, and embarked on a co-headlining tour with New Kids on the Block in 2011.
They have released 10 studio albums to date. The Backstreet Boys' most recent, A Very Backstreet Christmas, was released in October 2022. As the title suggests, it is their first-ever Christmas album.
The Sphere's history
The Sphere opened on September 29, 2023, with U2's start of their residency. They performed 40 shows at the high-tech venue through March 2, 2024.
Phish immediately took over following U2's residency, performing four shows there in April. Dead & Company then performed their first slate of shows there from May 16, 2024, to August 10.
The Eagles are currently residing at the Sphere. They will wrap up their itinerary on April 12, 2025, after 32 shows. Dead & Company will then become the first artist to perform two residencies at the Sphere, starting another residency there on March 20, 2025.
Kenny Chesney will then take over for 15 shows starting on May 22. He will wrap up on June 21, giving the Sphere a few weeks before the Backstreet Boys start their residency.
