This one’s for the real fans.
Big Time Rush just announced they’re heading out on their 2025 ‘In Real Life Tour’ where they’ll “play every song from every episode” from their Nickelodeon sitcom where they played hockey stars turned pop stars that ran from 2009-13.
As an added bonus, Kendall Knight, James Diamond, Carlos Garcia and Logan Mitchell will be joined by original cast members Katelyn Tarver and Stephen Kramer Glickman at every show on the run.
That includes stops at Holmdel, NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center on Tuesday, July 22, Wantagh, NY’s Jones Beach Theater on Wednesday, July 23, Saratoga Springs, NY’s Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Sunday, Aug. 3 and Buffalo, NY’s Darien Lake Amphitheater on Tuesday, Aug. 5.
“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. 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 band shared in a statement.
“We know how many of our fans hold these songs close to their hearts having first heard so many of them watching our show.”
If you want to sing along to classics from the series like “Worldwide,” “Boyfriend” and “‘Til I Forget About You” live, tickets are available for all shows as soon as today.

Big Time Rush new music
While the band is planning on performing music from the show, it should be noted that their 2023 album “In Real Life” shares a name with the tour.
Standout tunes here include the disco-y rump shaker “Can’t Get Enough,” experimental auto-tune party-starter “Waves” and goosebump-inducing “I Just Want To (Party All the Time.)”
Still, the true highlight here is the stirring “Forget You Now,” which sounds like an outtake from the “Euphoria” soundtrack.
Although we don’t know exactly what they’ll play at live shows, you can catch up and check out the slinky 15-track deluxe version of the record here.
Big Time Rush special guests
As noted above, a pair of “BTR” cast members are hitting the road along with the band.
Katelyn Tarver, who played Jo Taylor, is also a singer-songwriter in her own right. Since her 2011 debut, she’s released four EPs including 2017’s “Tired Eyes.” You can hear her most-streamed song “You Don’t Know” here.
Stephen Kramer Glickman — aka Gustavo Rocque aka the original Shrek in “Shrek the Musical” on Broadway — will join the gang as well this summer. Although his discography isn’t as extensive as Tarver’s, he did release a 2021 album called “The Moving Company,” which yielded the popular tune “Crazy.”
