Updated

This month, Jones Beach Theater in Long Island, New York played host to one of summer's major kick-off concerts, KTUphoria 2018!

The iHeartMedia concert brought together an amazing lineup of performers including Sting & Shaggy, Charlie Puth, 98 Degrees, Dua Lipa, Enrique Iglesias, NeYo and Pitbull -- plus, special guest the Backstreet Boys! See all of the acts walk the red carpet in the gallery below. (By the way, Charlie Puth fans, his solo tour kicks off later this summer.)

Highlights from the night included the Backstreet Boys performing their new song "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" live for the very first time, Ne-Yo bringing two lucky fans up on stage to dance alongside him and Pitbull announcing that an upcoming album with music legends Britney Spears and Marc Anthony is in the works!

Resident DJs from 103.5 KTU kept the party going between the performing acts with sets of their own, while audience members also had the opportunity to win meet and greet packages with the artists.

There are a ton of other must-see concerts this summer. Some of the hottest tickets right now? Maroon 5 is currently touring, while Janet Jackson's "State of the World" tour kicks off in July, and Rod Stewart is teaming up with Cyndi Lauper for a show any '80s music lover will love.
