From Nickelodeon to Isleta, Big Time Rush to make sa国际传媒官网网页入口 tour stop
Big Time Rush鈥檚 James Maslow, Logan Henderson, Kendall Schmidt and Carlos PenaVega are coming to Isleta Amphitheater on Friday, Aug. 22.
Big Time Rush is looking forward to their return to sa国际传媒官网网页入口.
鈥淭here is some magic to the desert,鈥 Logan Henderson said. 鈥淎nd I always think that those shows are a lot of fun, so it鈥檚 going to be amazing.鈥
Big Time Rush will perform on Friday, Aug. 22, at Isleta Amphitheater.
The band formed in 2010 with the Nickelodeon TV show, 鈥淏ig Time Rush,鈥 and broke up in 2014 when the show ended. After a seven-year hiatus, the band re-formed in 2021, which gave them time to think about what they wanted the band to be, Henderson said.
鈥淚鈥檓 happy the fans stuck with us. And we had the seasons air on Netflix, and so we had new fans coming in, and then fans that had been there from the very beginning,鈥 he said.
The band is on their second tour since coming back together and the 鈥淏ig Time Rush: In Real Life Worldwide鈥 tour will feature every song from the show.
鈥淚 think the four of us, we constantly kind of pinch ourselves and think how lucky we are to still be doing this,鈥 Henderson said. 鈥淭o be doing it now in our own way. And I think that it鈥檚 been incredible to see the fans that have grown with us.鈥
Henderson said that this time around, the band has found time to appreciate the special moments of day-to-day tour life.
鈥淚 think we鈥檙e all a little older. I think we鈥檝e matured slightly. Let鈥檚 not get too out of hand, we鈥檙e still uber immature, but we matured slightly,鈥 Henderson said. 鈥淎nd I think we are just really having fun and taking our time with this tour and just enjoying all the little moments as well.鈥
The group hopes to use the concert to blend their TV show past with who they are now as a band.
鈥淔or me, we鈥檙e not really trying to be characters on stage. We are who we are, and people have seen us the last two years,鈥 Henderson said. 鈥淪o we have some segments in the show that we鈥檝e prerecorded that kind of give us that feel or maybe some reminiscent nostalgia for people, but now, we are who we are.鈥
The band has spent time creating new music, releasing the single, 鈥淚 Want You Here All The Time,鈥 on June 20. Henderson said the inspiration for new music comes from the bands they grew up listening to, like the Eagles and the Bee Gees.
鈥淓ven just to kind of think of the landscape of music 10 years ago, it鈥檚 pretty wild,鈥 Henderson said. 鈥淪o I would say even with this last album, 鈥楢nother Life,鈥 we were kind of getting back to our roots.鈥
While producing new music, Henderson said he has found himself reconnecting with the group鈥檚 older songs in new ways.
鈥淪ometimes you just write a song, but not until you hear it back years later, does it maybe connect with you on a different level,鈥 Henderson said. 鈥淎nd we鈥檝e had a few songs like that that I listen to and I go, 鈥極h, you know what? That kind of hits a little bit harder than it did the first time.鈥欌
The band has come a long way since its start, but it stays true to its roots, said Henderson.
鈥淭he comedy that we鈥檝e always shared from the four of us really kind of connects back to that TV show. It kind of feels like something that you鈥檝e heard from back in the day,鈥 Henderson said.
The group toured in 2022 with the 鈥淔orever Tour,鈥 which included an sa国际传媒官网网页入口 stop. Henderson said there are similar elements from the last tour to the new one.
鈥淲e鈥檙e out there still doing flips, jumping around, there鈥檚 a trampoline, there鈥檚 all sorts of different things that we have going on,鈥 Henderson said. 鈥淎nd our band is incredible. So really, it鈥檚 just such a spectacle.鈥
And Henderson said that the new tour is even bigger.
鈥淲e just have some of the largest screens that I鈥檝e ever seen. There鈥檚 so much content. We have Travis Shirley, who put this show together for us,鈥 Henderson said. 鈥淭his design is on a whole other level. It鈥檚 probably our biggest show we鈥檝e ever done.鈥
Henderson said the atmosphere at concerts is enhanced by the generations of fans.
鈥淧eople are just loving being around a lot of their old friends and friends they grew up with. And some people bring the whole family to which I love,鈥 Henderson said. 鈥淎nd so I think it鈥檚 a big love bomb. It鈥檚 a big love fest.鈥
Henderson said that when it comes to Big Time Rush being back on tour, the band and fans want the same thing.
鈥淵ou know, at this point, we鈥檝e been doing it for a long time,鈥 Henderson said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e kind of professionals at this point, so I think they want to see a great show, and honestly, we want to put on the best show we鈥檝e ever put on.鈥
