All genres of music collided this weekend at the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Festival at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Performing at this year’s star-studded event was everyone from Britney Spears and Zedd to Billy Idol and Drake. Representing Country music at the festival was Sam Hunt and Florida Georgia Line.

During their performance on Saturday (Sept. 24), Florida Georgia Line surprised fans with an appearance by the Backstreet Boys, who had just announced a 2017 Las Vegas residency on Friday.

Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard teased their special guests by recalling their first concert and first cd purchase, which happened to be BSB, before singing the infamous opening lines of “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back).”

“Las Vegas, give it up for the Backstreet Boys,” Hubbard shouted as all five Backstreet Boys joined them on stage. Re-lve their epic performance above.

This isn’t the first time BSB and FGL have collaborated. The duo invited the boy band to join them on the song “God, Your Mama, And Me,” which is featured on their new album, Dig Your Roots.
