The Backstreet Boys visited the Empire State Building to flip the switch in a lighting ceremony and participated in a private Q&A with fans on the iconic building’s 80th floor to kick-off the music-to-light show that is synced to “Christmas in New York” and “Last Christmas” from BSB’s new holiday album.

The annual holiday music-to-light show features thousands of LED lights atop the landmark tower, choreographed by world-renowned lighting designer Marc Brickman and his Tactical Manoeuvre team. Fans from outside the New York City area can watch the show live via the Earthcam on ESB’s website, and a video of the entire show will be posted on the building’s YouTube channel, with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage with the band at home, in the studio, and at the Empire State Building upon its Dec. 19 debut.
