Big Time Rush

with special guest Dixie D'Amelio

Big Time Rush became an overnight sensation in November 2009 when the scripted TV show of the same name launched on Nickelodeon.

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 Net?ix "Top 10" trending titles. The band finished off 2021 with a performance at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in Philadelphia as well as 2 sold out shows in Chicago and NYC, capping it off with the release of their first single in 8 years, “Call It Like I See It”, on Dec. 13th. Stay tuned for big things to come because Big Time Rush is back.
