Big Time Rush Sell Out Jones Beach Stop on In Real Life Tour

Leave a comment

We’re still so excited that BTR are back! Big Time Rush brought their In Real Life World Tour to Jones Beach for a crazy sold out show, nearly 4 years into their big time reunion.

They always put on one of the most high energy shows, with nonstop dancing from start to finish. This was the their 5th time playing this iconic NY venue on the water, and they’ve sold it out every time. No wonder Big Time Rush calls it one of their favorite places to play!

Their promise on the “In Real Life” tour was to play every song from the TV show and they more than delivered! Kendall, Logan, James, and Carlos played a nearly 2 hour set full of fan favorites like “Windows Down,” “Picture This,” “Any Kind Of Guy,” and “Worldwide.” They fit 43 songs in total into the set – giving them a shot in the dark to play songs they had never gotten the chance to play live before.

They praised Cody, their guitar player and musical director, for giving some of our favorite songs another life. This tour gave the fans a chance to hear songs they never played before including “Blow Your Speakers Out” which was never released but was always a top fan request, as well as acoustic versions of songs like “No Idea,” “We Are,” as well as a special surprise song. We won’t ruin it, you’ll have to go see BTR in real life to find out for your self!

We have to make some noise for the mashups because they were IMMACULATE! The guys are always so good at putting their own spin on things and putting “Oh Yeah” with “Famous” was so unexpected but SO GOOD!!! The guys included bits from the show like Carlos’ helmet and their legendary outfit quick changes.

It really was a big big big big night!!!

Bringing the TV show full circle they had Stephen Kramer Glickman (aka THE Gustavo Rocque) and Katelyn Tarver (aka Jo) opening for them! They both got BTR fans ready for a big big big night with a set of fun covers from Glickman including Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” and “Crazy” from Gnarls Barkley. Katelyn warmed up the crowd with singalong worthy tracks like “Cinematic” and her latest single, “#1” that works through her emotions following her recent divorce.

If you’re feeling left out, make sure you grab a ticket to see BTR IRL Worldwide with dates remaining across the US before they head over to Europe this fall.

Be sure to follow Big Time Rush, Katelyn Tarver, and Secret Fangirls and stay up to date on your favorite artists!

Leave a comment

Our favorite boyband Big Time Rush just announced a MASSIVE tour for 2025! They’ll definitely be thinking about you, worldwide as they bring their high energy show to Paris, London, and New York. No word on a Tokyo date yet but they’re still thinking about ya!

Carlos, James, Kendall, and Logan are promising a night of nostalgia, laughs, and so much dancing. Fans will get to relive their favorite moments from the hit TV show when the band plays every song from every episode, many of which have never been played live before like “Count On You” and “This Is Our Someday.”

The dogs are also bringing Katelyn Tarver and Stephen Kramer Glickman on the road so you know it’ll blow your speakers out! Yes, Jo and Gustavo will be on the road with Big Time Rush this Summer!!!

“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. We know how many of our fans hold these songs close to their hearts having first heard so many of them watching our show,” said the band of the brand-new tour. “We couldn’t be more excited to also be bringing our dear friends from the TV show Katelyn Tarver and Stephen Kramer Glickman who we have never gotten the chance to tour with before. We have so many surprises in store for our Rushers for the In Real Life Worldwide tour and can’t wait to see everyone on the road very soon!”

As if the tour isn’t enough excitement, BTR will also host an exclusive, free Big Time Rush In Real Life Pop Up Show experience in Los Angeles, CA for one weekend only! The pop up will be open March 1st from 11am-pm PT and March 2nd from 11am – 4pm PT. Fans will be able to experience the Palm Woods and Rocque Records IRL and even get an up close look at memorabilia from the TV show, purchase limited edition merch, and so much more!

Presales for the BTR IRL Worldwide Tour begin Tuesday, February 25th and general on sales begin Friday February 28th, 2025. BTR fanclub members will get first access to tickets and VIP upgrades starting Tuesday, February 25th, 2025. VIP upgrade packages include everything from meet & greets with the band, access to an exclusive Palm Woods VIP lounge, the pre-show huddle with Big Time Rush, and more.

Big Time Rush Bring “Can’t Get Enough Tour” To NY’s Jones Beach Theater

Leave a comment

BIG TIME RUSH IS BACK, BABY!  No matter how many times we say it, it still feels surreal. Kendall, James, Logan, and Carlos brought their “Can’t Get Enough Tour” to Jones Beach on Sunday night and proved they are back better than ever and here to stay.  The key to any successful reunion is honoring where you came from, but also moving forward and bringing something new to the mix, and their tour is the perfect mix of both.  BTR hit the road in support of their brand new album, “Another Life,” which is a perfect infectious summer pop album.

Viral TikTok sensation, Jax along with her bandmates, drummer Jess Bowen (The Summer Set) and guitarist Nash Overstreet (Hot Chelle Rae) kicked the show off with style. Floating between heartfelt ballads, her “other people’s POV” covers like “Teenage Dirtbag (Noelle’s Version),” and her singles, “Cinderella Snapped” and “Victoria’s Secret”, Jax took in the energy of the venue and sang her heart out. 

NYC native, MAX took the stage next and really set it off with hits “Love Me Less” and “Holla” and absolutely nailed Suga’s Korean rap from their smash collaboration “Blueberry Eyes.” He even debuted an unreleased song called “Strings” and had everyone dancing the entire time!  If you’ve seen MAX on tour before, you know he always ends with a singalong to “Mug Shot,” and brings the energy up to a 15 with his smooth moves and incredible voice.

By the time Big Time Rush hit the stage, the crowd was warmed up and ready to sing and dance the night away! The second the lights dropped, the wall of fangirl screams erupted in full force feeding every ounce of energy to the guys on stage and them cycling it back to the fans, proving that even after all these years, New York shows feel like hometown shows for James, Kendall, Logan, and Carlos, who were headlining Jones Beach for the 4th time in their career and the first time in 10 years!

Playing new music from their latest, independently released record, “Another Life” felt like they’re in their element now more than ever! James shared that when they got back together, they weren’t sure what their sound was going to be.  The guys kept writing until they narrowed down 10 tracks that they felt encompassed where they are and the sound they always wanted.

“Forget You Now” is a moody, bass driven track that’s reminiscent of early 00s boybands, that really lets Logan Henderson show off his vocal chops. It’s become a quick fan favorite, even prompting an on-going Twitter thread compiling videos of the moment from each city on tour. 

“Ask You Tonight” is an acoustic, 98 Degrees-esque love song that builds the case for proposing right then and there. Lyrically, “You’re the only one I wanna love/ the only one this I promise ya” will make anyone swoon and say YES immediately!  We’ve loved all of the music BTR has put out since the reunion – it sounds true to their boyband roots but fresh and new at the same time.

BTR also played the classics like “Nothing Even Matters” and “Elevate” but the shining star of this tour is “Shot In The Dark” which is a track that was previously only ever heard in one episode the Nickelodeon TV show that launched the boyband. Fans have been begging for them to play it live and they finally, happily obliged, delighting the diehards and casual fans alike.

Jones Beach Theater is one of the coolest venues we’ve ever been to, with it’s beachside location surrounded by water on three sides.  It makes for an incredible setting for a show, but being fully outdoors there is no place to hide if it rains.  After a day of on and off showers, the rain held off for most of BTR’s set but it started downpouring just before the encore.  Not a single person of the nearly 15,000 in attendance left their seats as the crowd continued to dance to “Big Time Rush” and “Big Night.”

The boys even ran out to perform “Windows Down” out in the crowd, getting just as soaked as all of the fans in attendance. It was a big, big, big, big, big night indeed, one that we’ll never forget!

The key to Big Time Rush’s success has always been them doing their best to stay authentically themselves in spite of the odds. The fans fell in love with the show, but they’re still coming back and packing out venues across North America in droves to support Carlos, James, Kendall, and Logan with the same passion that never disappeared after so many years away.  

We’ll be loving Big Time Rush forever and can’t get enough of the feeling of seeing them on stage!  The energy and passion from the band and fans alike is infectious and will make you want to party all the time!

Check out the rest of the tour dates on BTR’s official site and come feel the big time rush for yourself! 

Pick up a copy of “Another Life” or stream it on your favorite platform now.

Big Time Rush Drop New Single “Call It Like I See It”

Leave a comment

NOTHING EVEN MATTERS BECAUSE BTR IS BACK!!!!! We’ve been waiting 8 long years to say this, and are beyond excited that Big Time Rush dropped their first new single, “Call It Like I See it” just ahead of their reunion concerts this week. They are ready to do it all over again and will be performing this week at the Q102 Jingle Ball in Philadelphia TONIGHT and then headlining their shows in Chicago on Wednesday and New York City on Saturday! It’s going to be a big night in Philly with their first live show in almost 8 years!

If you are lucky enough to be going to one of the shows, odds are you’ll be among the first to hear their new single live plus some old favorites. The band has been posting behind the scenes videos of them rehearsing dance moves to all of your old favorites, too. You know you’re going to party all night and have the time of your life!

We couldn’t help but notice the publishing credits on Spotify for the new song are listed as “Bought the Rights 2021.” It looks like Kendall, Logan, James, and Carlos will be calling it like they see it for ALL their new music!

Music sounds better with Big Time Rush back and we’re hoping they’re just getting started and news about their 4th album and a full tour are on the way. Until then, we’ll be playing the new track on loop 24/7, driving around with the windows down until we blow our speakers out.

Stream or pick up a copy of “Call It Like I See It” on your favorite platform and check out Big Time Rush’s upcoming tour dates here.

James Maslow Drops Lyric Video For New Single, “Love U Sober”

Leave a comment

Former BTR member, current heartthrob, James Maslow is hitting the ground running this Spring with a BELLA Magazine cover and a brand new single called “Love U Sober.”  The new track is an upbeat, euphoric track about James’ life and past relationships and his struggle with differentiating between love and lust.

When asked about what the new music, James said, “A large portion of the music I’m going to put out is influenced by my past relationships. ‘Love U Sober’ acknowledges the fact that I was in a relationship with someone and we had so much fun, but after many months, I began to question it. The sad part was the connection wasn’t as real as I thought; it was masked by the emotion of partying. Saying I want to love you sober might be more literal than people realize.”

James is also the cover star of BELLA Magazine’s latest issue which is now available in Barnes&Noble nationwide. The cover story features an indepth tell-all about his new music, inspirations, and what fans can expect from him in 2019. He just wrapped filming on “Wolfhound,” a WWII action film, as well as “My Boyfriend’s Meds” starring alongside Jaime Camil, Sandra Echeverria, Jason Alexander and Brooke Shields, slated for release August, 30th, 2019.

Watch the lyric video for James Maslow’s latest single, “Love U Sober” below!

Friday Five: New Artists To Watch

Leave a comment

It’s been a while since we did a Friday Five but we’re bringing it back!! Each week, new music is released on Fridays and gets our weekend off to an awesome start. It’s hard to sift through all of the new tracks if you don’t know what you’re looking for.

Sometimes we let the Youtube shuffle do it’s thing and lead us in new places we never ventured before. Other times we take cues from our current favorite bands and see who they’re playing shows with or what they’re listening to.  This week, let us help you find your new favorite artist to elevate your weekend to the next level!  Check out our Friday Five New Artists To Watch!

Chase Atlantic – “Into It”  
Chase Atlantic just released their new video for “Into It” on Snapchat which is great because that’s where we spend most of our social media time anyway. Genius idea, awesome band, perfect song.

Citizen Four – “Testify” 
They sing in 4 part harmony, have luscious hair, cool boy style, and they dance. What more do you want in a boy band?! Watch C4’s lyric video for “Testify” and you’ll be a fan before it’s over.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W425ePh2aKw

James Maslow – “How I Like It”
Okay, so he’s not “NEW” but as a solo artist he is brand new! James Maslow, from BTR, just released his first solo album and it’s SO GOOD SO GOOD!!  “How I Like It” is the first single and that’s how we like it.

Seaway – “Slam” 
Whether you saw Seaway opening for Real Friends with Moose Blood or you’re catching them on the upcoming Simple Plan tour, these Canadians bring back everything we loved about late 90s/early 00s pop punk.  Every song from these guys gets us jumping and screaming “EVERYTHING IS COOL MAN!”

As It Is – “Hey Rachel” 
Patty Walters poured his heart and soul into the latest As It Is record and his raw honesty on the song “Hey Rachel” is showing us that it’s okay to be well…just, Okay. Even when you don’t think you’re fine, you’ll always have your family to lean on.
