Live Nation and Caesars Entertainment have been teasing an announcement for a new resident act at the Axis at Planet Hollywood, another show to join the likes of Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Lionel Richie. The announcement came today: pop group Backstreet Boys will bring the new production Larger Than Life to the Axis in March, with tickets on sale October 1.
One of the most popular pop acts of the ‘90s and early ‘00s, the Backstreet Boys—Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean and Kevin Richardson—celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2013 with the release of the album In A World Like This and its supporting tour, the group’s 10th.
“The Axis marked a new era of entertainment, bringing the first pop music residencies to the famed Las Vegas Strip,” said Jason Gastwirth, Caesars Entertainment senior VP of marketing and entertainment. “Introducing the Backstreet Boys further solidifies our reputation as a premier destination for live entertainment.”
The first run of “Larger Than Life” is set for March 1, 3, 4, 8, 10, 11, 15, 17 and 18. The show returns to Planet Hollywood with dates in June and July. General ticket prices start at $39 and will go on sale October 1 via Ticketmaster.
