The music-focused special serves as a continuation of The Backyard Sessions, a performance series that Miley Cyrus began in 2012. Fans were quick to take a liking to it, especially the intimate outdoor setup in which Cyrus and her band performed. The Backyard Sessions soon became a benchmark series.
Having stated that, Miley Cyrus - Endless Summer Vacation (Backyard Sessions) will be staged in a similar environment. The musical event will also give viewers an insight into her new album and the person she is today.
