Nickelodeon kids will converge in Tampa for this weekend’s Big Time Rush reunion concert

Sure, reunions happened with the boy bands of our parents’ generation, but Big Time Rush getting back together may not have been on a lot of bingo cards during the latter days of the pandemic.

The Nickelodeon band—which was last in town for 93.3 FLZ Jingle Ball in 2022—has promised to perform every song heard on its Monkees-style TV show, and then some. You know that some original fans who pile into the old Gary amphitheater this weekend made sure that their whole personalities revolved around BTR at one point in time.

With the boys’ ex-castmates Katelyn Tarver and Stephen Kramer Glickman also on the bill, don’t be shocked if you accidentally overhear some recitations of obscure one-liners you may not remember from when our parents were recovering from the recession

Tickets to see Big Time Rush play MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa on Sunday, July 13 are still available and start at $29.95.
