Huge Hype Surrounding The Backstreet Boys In Schladming-dachstein: Third Show Confirmed For December 5th

At the beginning of July, the announcement made international headlines: The Backstreet Boys will open the Austrian holiday region's winter season at the Planai Stadium as part of the "Ski Opening Schladming-Dachstein 2025." The rush for tickets for the initially planned concert on December 6th was so enormous that concert promoter Klaus Leutgeb shortly thereafter announced an additional show by the successful US band on December 7th. Tickets for both dates (Saturday and Sunday) sold out in no time. As of today, it has been confirmed: There will be a third show on Friday, December 5th.

Fans now have the opportunity to experience the Backstreet Boys live at the Planai Stadium on three evenings. Tickets for the show on December 5th are available online at www.oeticket.com from 10 a.m. on Thursday, July 31st - while supplies last. Further information is available at www.skiopeningschladming.com .

Together with the Leutgeb Entertainment Group, the Styrian tourist region of Schladming-Dachstein and the four-mountain ski area Schladming (Hauser Kaibling, Planai, Hochwurzen, and Reiteralm) are once again bringing a real crowd-puller to the Alps for the start of winter 2025. Once again, the Planai Stadium will be a hotspot for the international music scene and a meeting place for thousands of fans of all generations. The Backstreet Boys join a lineup of international superstars performing in Schladming: After the brilliant shows with Robbie Williams in 2023 and the huge success with Bryan Adams, Simply Red, and Sting last year, it's now time to celebrate the era of boy bands. New album MILLENNIUM 2.0 released 

The Backstreet Boys' new album, "Millennium 2.0," was also recently released. It's a tribute to their five-time Grammy-nominated album "Millennium," which was first released more than 25 years ago. Favorite hits like "I Want It That Way" and "Larger Than Life" will be remastered. The five musicians have even redesigned the album artwork from back then. The release of the new album also marks the start of a concert series at the legendary Sphere in Las Vegas. If you don't want to travel to Las Vegas just to see the Backstreet Boys live in their original lineup and with the legendary "Millennium 2.0" program, you should book tickets as soon as possible for the additional show on December 5, 2025, at Schladming's Planai Stadium.

STATEMENTS / QUOTES:

• Organizer Klaus Leutgeb: "We sold out two shows within just 6 days. That's never happened before. This year we're taking the Schladming-Dachstein Ski Opening to a whole new level. With the Backstreet Boys, with a global production, with the absolute superstars here in Schladming. I would like to thank everyone involved in the region. Without the phenomenal cooperation, none of this would be possible. I'm already looking forward to the most legendary ski opening in history!" Mathias Schattleitner (Managing Director of the Schladming-Dachstein Tourism Region) "Three Backstreet Boys performances in Schladming – an absolute smash hit and a true milestone for our region, one that will make history. Demand has more than exceeded our expectations. This demonstrates the importance Schladming-Dachstein has now achieved as an event and winter destination in the Alps. We are particularly pleased to be able to celebrate this unforgettable start to the season with so many people from near and far."
• Andreas Keinprecht (Chairman of the Schladming-Dachstein Tourism Region):"A third concert is not only a great success for us, but also a strong sign of the solidarity between our region, the ski mountains, the organizer, and the visitors. It is particularly pleasing that these are currently the Backstreet Boys' only European concerts – so we expect many guests, including from neighboring countries, to spend several days with us. This not only ensures very good occupancy, but also creates a lasting impetus that will extend well beyond the weekend and into the season."
• Klaus Hofstätter (Managing Director of Hauser Kaibling Bergbahnen): "A third Backstreet Boys concert at the Ski Opening in Schladming-Dachstein – simply unbelievable! The fact that Klaus Leutgeb was able to persuade the band to perform for the third time in a row is simply sensational – my sincere thanks for this extraordinary commitment! Such highlights give us, the ski mountains of the Schladming 4-Mountain Ski Area and the entire region, a powerful boost. They are the perfect combination of skiing enjoyment on the mountain and great entertainment in the evening down in the valley."
• Georg Bliem (Managing Director of Planai-Hochwurzen-Bahnen): "With the Backstreet Boys, we've chosen an extraordinary highlight for the Schladming-Dachstein Ski Opening – and the response from our guests has been overwhelming. The first date was sold out within minutes, and the second shortly thereafter. The fact that we can now announce a third concert here at the foot of the Planai is a strong signal for the entire Schladming-Dachstein region and the four-mountain ski area. A brilliant start to the winter season, just the kind we could wish for."
• Daniel Berchthaller, Managing Director of Reiteralm Bergbahnen: "One sensation follows another! Because we are there for our fans, we tried everything to get the Backstreet Boys to perform a third time – and we succeeded! So now everyone can be there live for this super cool 2025 Ski Opening in Schladming-Dachstein!"
