Backstreet Boys return to their roots: German residency planned for 2026

Before achieving fame in the United States, the Backstreet Boys found their first major success in Germany, earning their first Platinum single with "I'll Never Break Your Heart". In honor of this early milestone, the group is planning a six-night residency in Germany in 2026.

The Into The Millennium -- Homecoming: Live in Germany concerts will be held at Merkur Spiel Arena in Dsseldorf on September 25, 26, 27, 29, 30 and October 2. These performances will be the only European shows for the band in 2026.

On Instagram, the band shared, The first place that ever embraced the Backstreet Boys was Germany. You saw who we were before the rest of the world even knew we existed. For this, we are forever grateful, and after 30 years, we are finally coming home.

Brian Littrell commented, When we call this a homecoming, its because Germany is where everything clicked for us. Its where our dream stopped being hypothetical and became real. Returning for these shows feels like coming full circle.

Fans can register at backstreetboys.com for a presale starting December 12 at 12 p.m. CET. Tickets will be available to the general public on December 15 at 12 p.m. CET (6 a.m. ET).

Backstreet Boys will continue their 2026 tour with additional dates at Sphere Las Vegas, following the conclusion of their 2025 performances.
