UNIVERSITY PARK — Big Time Rush will bring their In Real Life Worldwide Tour to the Bryce Jordan Center in University Park on Feb. 3, 2026.
Produced by Live Nation, the Bryce Jordan Center date is sponsored by the Penn State Student Programming Association. This newly announced leg of the tour includes 15 additional U.S. shows, many of which will take place at top college campuses across the country.
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 in 2026. The In Real Life Worldwide Tour continues as Big Time Rush’s most expansive tour yet as the group criss-crosses the globe performing at the largest venues of their career.
The new U.S. dates will follow BTR’s upcoming full-scale European leg in November and December, which includes sold-out shows and multiple nights in select cities. The band will then return to Mexico and South America for the first time since their sold-out run in 2023, revisit Australia after their sold-out 2024 run, and perform their first-ever shows in Honolulu and Dubai.
The band will take their pop major to the next level, earning some “extra credit” with these newly announced shows — including their stop at the Bryce Jordan Center.
The band is thrilled to bring the show to colleges across the country, saying “one of us 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 Oct. 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.
