LEXINGTON, KY. (October 20, 2025) – Big Time Rush is officially heading to college. After fans flocked to their wildly successful 2025 run this summer, the group will be hitting the road (and the books) again with 15 new U.S. shows for 2026 including a stop in Lexington, KY at Rupp Arena on Monday, February 2, 2026.
The In Real Life Worldwide Tour continues as Big Time Rush’s most expansive tour yet as the group plays criss-crosses the globe performing at the largest venues of their career. The new dates will follow BTR’s upcoming full-scale European leg in November & December, including sold-out shows and multiple nights in select cities. The band will then return to Mexico & South America for the first time since their sold-out run in 2023, to Australia following their sold-out 2024 run, and to Hawaii & the UAE for their first-ever shows in Honolulu & Dubai.
The band will take their pop major to the next level, earning some “extra credit” with these newly announced shows produced by Live Nation.
Limited $30 student tickets are available at participating shows (any taxes will be added at checkout as applicable to each city, state and venue).
The band is thrilled to bring the show to colleges across the country, saying “one of us actually dropped out of college and well, the others didn’t go, but the point is, we’re coming to a college arena near you and are ready to get the party started! Your homework assignment is to know all the lyrics to every song from every episode. Get to work – we’ll see you top of 26!”
Big Time Rush is getting their PhD in performance – hitting the stage with the same energy, humor, and charm that made them fan favorites from their Nickelodeon days, will revisit their favorite moments from the show, plus many more surprises. Katelyn Tarver and Stephen Kramer Glickman, also known as Jo and Gustavo on the show, will be joining the band as support, making for an epic reunion.
The band will play every song from every episode of their hit Nickelodeon show, many of which have never been played live.
In celebration of the new dates, BTR will release their beloved track “Blow Your Speakers Out” on official platforms on October 30. The song is a fan favorite from the TV show but was never officially released or performed live until the In Real Life Worldwide Tour. Download the single artwork HERE and pre-save the track HERE.
