“We truly have the best fans in the world and when we sat down to plot this tour we wanted to give them everything they have always asked us for and dreamed of,” the band stated. “That’s the reason we are so excited to be going on the road all over the world to play every song from every episode of the TV show.”
The group’s journey from television stars to real-world pop sensations began with their Nickelodeon series, which ran from 2009 to 2013. After releasing three studio albums and completing five tours between 2011 and 2014, the band went on hiatus before reuniting in 2020 during the pandemic.
Their comeback gained momentum when all four seasons of Big Time Rush were added to Netflix in March 2021, introducing their music to a new generation whilst rekindling nostalgia amongst original fans. This resurgence led to sold-out reunion shows in New York and Chicago, ultimately paving the way for their return to regular touring.
Since reuniting, Big Time Rush has completed three consecutive sold-out tours, including a performance at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Their 2023 album Another Life marked their first new material in over a decade.
