Spain and The Netherlands for their UK and European tour. Last year, Kendall, James, Logan and Carlos released their first album in 10 years called Another Life.
A statement about their UK and European tour reads: “Before their comeback, the band had spent almost eight years apart, each taking the time to nurture their own artistic endeavours.
“The growth experienced by both the band and their fans in those eight years is reflected in new daring sounds as Big Time Rush share parts of themselves through their music like never before.”
Big Time Rush were formed in 2009 and they were immediately thrown into the limelight with their own television show.
The popular Nickelodeon programme, also called Big Time Rush, featured the band’s own music and it aired worldwide for four years.
The band’s first album, BTR, was released in 2010 and debuted at number 3 in America’s Billboard 200.
At the height of their fame, they released two more albums and even starred in their own movie, Big Time Movie.
But in 2014, they embarked on an ‘indefinite hiatus’.
Kendall, James, Logan and Carlos – who had previously been supported on tour by One Direction – went on to pursue their own solo careers.
Kendall reformed another band called Heffron Drive, while James set his sights on reality TV – appearing in Dancing With The Stars and the US version of Celebrity Big Brother.
Logan took some time out before launching a solo music career and Carlos continued to work with Nickelodeon by voicing the character of Bobby Santiago in The Loud House.
In 2021, however, the lads ended their hiatus and got back together as Big Time Rush.
They released a new single called Call It Like I See It and, last year, the band embarked on a tour of America and released their fourth album, Another Life.
