Big Time Rush were propelled to overnight stardom in 2009 with the launch of their hit Nickelodeon TV show, and quickly sold out their debut Australian tour this October, visiting Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall, Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion and Melbourne’s Festival Hall. This additional show at Melbourne’s Northcote Theatre is a rare chance for fans to see the group up close in a much more intimate setting than normal.

About Big Time Rush

Big Time Rush became an overnight sensation in November 2009 when the scripted TV show of the same name launched on Nickelodeon. The show focused on the Hollywood adventures of four hockey players from Minnesota after they were selected to form a boy band. The show became a huge success and later, Carlos, Kendall, James, and Logan came to life as a band off the screen releasing three full length albums and

performing across the globe. As the show concluded in July 2013 and after four years of recording music and touring as a band, they went their separate ways but remained close friends through the years.

After seven years, in an effort to bring joy to their fans during quarantine around the world, the members of Big Time Rush decided to appear together as a group to send a message of love and togetherness. This was soon followed by a socially distant performance of an acoustic version of their smash hit, "Worldwide." These appearances resulted in hysteria amongst their fans and in the media, followed by BTR receiving 10+ million streams in 2020 alone. Four seasons of the TV show were added to Netflix in March 2021 and have appeared in the Netflix "Top 10" trending titles.

The power group then went on to complete two wildly successful tours, The Forever Tour in 2022 and the Can’t Get Enough Tour 2023, which sold over 600,000 tickets sold across North & South America and boasted multiple sold-out dates at iconic venues including The Kia Forum in Los Angeles and New York’s Madison Square Garden.

In addition to touring, 2022 and 2023 also included live performances at the Latin Kids Choice Awards, iHeart Music Festival, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball concert series and the premiere of their first pay-per-view event, The City Is Ours, a concert film capturing the band’s sold-out show at Madison Square Garden.

Big Time Rush finished off 2023 with the release of the deluxe version of their latest album, Another Life. Another Life Deluxe features 5 new tracks, written throughout their career. The release marked a new era for the band, with this being their first full-length album in a decade.
