Big Time Rush were propelled to overnight stardom in 2009 with the launch of their hit Nickelodeon TV show. After a hiatus from 2013, the band reunited in 2020 for a socially distanced performance of their hit Worldwide, and in 2022 released several hit singles including Honey, Fall, and Not Giving You Up.

Momentum continued with the release of their first album in ten years, Another Life, in June 2023 and the Can’t Get Enough Tour across the US, Canada and Mexico. Their debut Australia tour comes off the back of a hugely successful sold out UK and European tour set for this June, which has sold tens of thousands of tickets across the continent.

About Big Time Rush

Separately, they’re four individuals. Each one undeniably talented. Each one built to entertain. Together, Big Time Rush, composed of Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Logan Henderson, and Carlos PenaVega, becomes something far more. When the members of this beloved boy band unite, it’s as if everything else melts away; an unspoken connection ignites.

“We can glance at each other and with the smallest look, we’ll understand what’s needed or how great something was or what we need to do next,” says Schmidt, describing a rare connectivity between the foursome.

Following a whirlwind multi-year run that culminated with 2013’s 24/Seven LP, Big Time Rush’s members spent roughly eight years apart, each indulging in their own artistic muse. Then, in 2020, they made the bold decision to reunite. It started with an exquisite acoustic version of Worldwide. And judging by the overwhelmingly positive reaction from their fanbase, it became clear there were hordes of people — some of whom had long loved Big Time Rush along with many others who were just discovering the band — who’d hoped this moment might someday come. Now, after releasing a thrilling new album, Another Life and completion of the Can’t Get Enough Tour in 2023, Big Time Rush have never been more amped about what lies ahead, including a sold-out tour in Europe and the UK this June, and their upcoming debut Australian tour this October.
