The Las Vegas Sphere in March 2025. <p>Everything is so clichéd. Everything falls short. Beyond a simple “it’s incredible” or “it blows your mind,” it’s difficult to explain what it’s like to go <a href="https://english.elpais.com/people/2025-09-03/backstreet-boys-at-30-the-boy-band-that-defined-2000s-pop-makes-las-vegas-comeback.html" target="_self" rel="" title="https://english.elpais.com/people/2025-09-03/backstreet-boys-at-30-the-boy-band-that-defined-2000s-pop-makes-las-vegas-comeback.html">to the Sphere in Las Vegas to see the Backstreet Boys</a>. Thinking about the reasons why, a couple of things probably come together. First, the exceptional nature of the concert itself: the reunion of the five guys (or, by now, men) who played to sold out venues in the 1990s is a smash hit at a time when nostalgia seems to be the only lifeline. Second, the moment of communion, with 20,000 souls of all ages and backgrounds (though mostly female) dressed in white and silver, belting out hits from 30 years ago and recreating dance routines from their teenage years. But third, and above all, it’s the venue where they’ve chosen to do it: the Sphere in Las Vegas. When the sky opens up before you and it seems like you’re about to be abducted by a spaceship, or when a song called <i>Siberia</i> plays and the temperature drops several degrees, you know that what you’re seeing isn’t normal.</p><p><a href="https://english.elpais.com/culture/2026-02-17/the-backstreet-boys-at-the-sphere-in-las-vegas-a-perfect-blend-of-nostalgia-and-colossal-futurism-that-doesnt-even-require-their-presence.html" target="_blank">Seguir leyendo</a></p> https://english.elpais.com/culture/2026-02-14/al-green-the-sex-symbol-who-became-a-reverend-after-a-tragedy.html Sat, 14 Feb 2026 04:00:00 GMT https://english.elpais.com/culture/2026-02-14/al-green-the-sex-symbol-who-became-a-reverend-after-a-tragedy.html Jordi Bardají The controversial 1970s soul legend became a pastor after an accident.
