Big Time Rush, the pop sensation from Nickelodeon’s hit series, is bringing their high-energy “In Real Life Worldwide” tour to Penn State’s Bryce Jordan Center on Feb. 3, 2026, as part of 15 new U.S. dates targeting college campuses.
The quartet—Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos PenaVega, and Logan Henderson—will perform every song from all four seasons of their 2009-2013 show, many for the first time live, in a nostalgic celebration of their TV roots. Joining them are co-stars Katelyn Tarver (Jo) and Stephen Kramer Glickman (Gustavo), making it a full-on Big Time Rush reunion. Produced by Live Nation, the show promises the band’s signature humor, charm, and pop anthems.
“We’re coming to a college arena near you and are ready to get the party started,” the band said. “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!”
The Penn State stop is part of a tour kicking off Jan. 24 at the State Farm Center in Champaign, Illinois, and wrapping Feb. 13 at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska. Other campus venues include Ohio State’s Schottenstein Center and the University of Tennessee’s Thompson-Boling Arena. To mark the tour announcement, the band will release their fan-favorite TV track “Blow Your Speakers Out” on Oct. 30, available for pre-save now.
Tickets, ranging from $30 student tickets (plus taxes) to standard prices, go on sale Oct. 24 at 10 a.m., with a fan club presale starting Oct. 21 via BigTimeRushOfficial.com. VIP packages, including meet-and-greets, are also available.
