Backstreet's back, and heading to Vegas.

The Backstreet Boys, who were either your first or second favorite '90s boy band, are beginning a Vegas residency in 2017.

The band announced on Friday that "Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life" would launch on March 1, 2017 at The AXIS at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. Shows will run at least through July, with tickets starting at $39.

"We’re excited to bring our experience from being a touring act with all of our hits to Vegas, so that it becomes something that you’ll never forget,” said Nick Carter on the band's website.

"We’re going to call the show Larger Than Life, and we’re taking that theme and we’re going to run with it," added Kevin Richardson. He will join his Carter and band mates Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and AJ McLean.

“If you’ve ever been to a Backstreet Boys show… it’s going to be that on steroids," added Littrell.

Tickets will be available starting Oct. 1 at 10 A.M. Pacific Time (so set your alarms, East Coast peeps).
