CAFECITO CON HOWIE to Launch Las Vegas Residency at Hard Rock Cafe

Backstreet Boys member Howie D is to bring CAFECITO CON HOWIE, an intimate residency experience, to Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas on select dates throughout July and August 2026. The series, framed as a coffee shop setting, is built around live music, conversation, and an introduction to his upcoming Spanish-language solo project, which draws on his Puerto Rican heritage and includes his new single 'Coquí.' Tickets are currently on sale.

The experience comes as Howie D prepares for the next leg of the Backstreet Boys' sold-out Las Vegas residency while introducing fans to a new chapter of his solo career. Inspired by his Puerto Rican heritage, the project blends new original music with reimagined versions of songs from throughout his career, using music as a bridge to strengthen his connection to the Spanish language and culture.

'Growing up, Puerto Rican music, traditions, and family were always a huge part of my life,' said Howie D. 'As I've gotten older and become a father myself, I've felt an even stronger desire to connect with that heritage and share it with my children. This project has allowed me to reconnect with that side of myself in a really meaningful way.'

• Meet & greet and photo with Howie
