Backstreet Boys at the Ski Opening 2025 in Schladming-Dachstein
on December 05, 06 & 07, 2025 at the Planai Stadium in Schladming
The Schladming-Dachstein tourism region with the 4-mountain ski area Schladming (Hauser Kaibling, Planai, Hochwurzen and Reiteralm) and the international concert organizer Klaus Leutgeb once again created a sensation and probably the most legendary ski opening in the Austrian mountains.
The Backstreet Boys have been delighting fans worldwide since the 1990s with timeless hits such as "I Want It That Way", "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)", "As Long As You Love Me" and "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)". In addition to these classics, fans can also look forward to new material at the Ski Opening 2025 in Schladming-Dachstein: their anniversary album Millennium 2.0, a reissue of their 1999 album Millennium, was released on July 11.
