It was a warm night in Atlanta, but that didn’t stop thousands of fans from showing up to relive the music of their youth—each of them longing for the pure nostalgia of being transported back to the days of posters on their bedroom walls, summers spent hanging out with friends, and TV marathons of their favorite artists. The night may have been warm, but it was nothing compared to the pure energy and excitement that was to come for fans of Big Time Rush.
The night started with the dapperly dressed Stephen Kramer Glickman, who strolled onto the stage in a bright red suit, ready to get the party started. He treated the crowd to covers of “Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish, “Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley, “Pink Pony Club” by Chappell Roan, and “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus before closing his set with an original song, “Change.”
The evening continued with Georgia native Katelyn Tarver, who graced the stage with a smile that could light up the night sky. She was no stranger to Big Time Rush fans, having spent several years sharing the screen with the band. Katelyn captivated the audience with her energy and had the crowd singing along with her. She belted out fan favorites like “Nicer” and “You Don’t Know” before closing her set with her new hit single, “#1.”
Then it was time for the band everyone had been anxiously waiting for. The crowd erupted as the lights dropped and haze began to fill the stage. The band struck the opening chords of “Big Time Rush,” and the stage lights came to life. Then, as if out of nowhere, Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan appeared—ready to give the crowd exactly what they came for: a non-stop party. From choreographed dance moves to constant interaction with the crowd, it was an experience that everyone in attendance will never forget. Big Time Rush didn’t treat fans to just 10, 15, or even 20 songs. This was a night where they brought everything to the table, performing an impressive 37 songs while the crowd hung on every note. They closed the night with the mega-hit “Till I Forget About You” and brought the house down with “Boyfriend.”
If a night of fun, memories, friendships, and amazing music was on your agenda for that warm Atlanta evening, then you definitely left the Big Time Rush show with all those boxes checked. Big Time Rush brought the energy—and the crowd matched it with every bit of excitement and passion.
