Celebrating 25 years since their landmark Millennium album, the Backstreet Boys Into the Millennium residency at Sphere Las Vegas marked a genre defining leap in pop concert production. As the first pop artist and boy band to headline the cutting-edge venue, the group delivered a full-sensory spectacle rooted in Y2K-era futurism across 21 shows – with 14 more to come in late 2025 and early 2026.

To help realize this ambitious vision, TAIT partnered with producer Baz Halpin and Silent House and production manager Dan Mercer to deliver a custom staging and automation solution. Designed, built, and tested at our Lititz facility, the system featured stage lifts that helped pull off the illusion of the band being beamed onto stage; a massive perform flying platform built into the stage; and one of the largest winches we’ve ever built.
Controlled by TAIT’s Navigator Automation Platform, the winch elevated an oval platform with all five band members almost 70 feet in the air during “I Want It That Way.” As they rose to serenade fans, galaxies swirled across Sphere’s 16K LED media plane to create a truly unforgettable moment.
Through close collaboration and real-time refinement during rehearsals, TAIT helped the Backstreet Boys push creative and technical boundaries. The result was a next-level fan experience that demonstrated how technology and storytelling are reshaping the future of live entertainment.
