Backstreet Boys: Into the Millennium - Homecoming: Live in Germany

Backstreet Boys bring their pop DNA back to the big stage with Into The Millennium – Homecoming: Live in Germany: on October 7, 2026 at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf. Since 1993, AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell have stood for catchy pop and dance-pop hooks, R&B-tinged ballads and multi-part harmonies, carried by a stage language in which vocals and choreography interact. Their breakthrough came in the mid‑90s in Europe, followed by a triumphant rise in North America with Backstreet’s Back, Millennium and Black & Blue. Later their sound opened up toward more mature pop on Never Gone, Unbreakable, This Is Us, In a World Like This and DNA — once again performed by the original lineup.

The show takes up that arc. The title signals the emphasis: songs from the Millennium era are at the center, supplemented by tracks from all phases of their career. Between uptempo numbers and ballads, the focus is on the voices, the rich choruses and the group’s signature, choir-like arrangements, also shaped by the Swedish pop school with which the band long collaborated. Homecoming also evokes the close connection to German audiences and the group’s early years in Europe — a return featuring familiar hits and newer material in a compact set.
