Big Time Rush Celebrate BTR Day 2025

Big Time Rush are celebrating this year's Big Time Rush Day with fans across the globe as they take to socials with fun new activations, newly released live concert videos, an intimate fan event in Nashville, TN and a special ticket offer for their upcoming BIG TIME RUSH IN REAL LIFE WORLDWIDE tour, which is on sale now.

From Friday, April 4 through Sunday, April 6, fans can get tickets for most U.S. tour dates for just $30 all in plus taxes, while supplies last. For tickets and more information, go to BigTimeRushOfficial.com

Big Time Rush encourage fans to participate by using #BTRDay across socials to join the celebration all day long. The BTR Day celebration will conclude with an in-person fan event in Nashville, TN, where Big Time Rush has invited fans to watch a special screening of the first episode of Big Time Rush, "Big Time Audition" along with a Q&A and more.

On Tuesday, April 4, 2023, the Mayor of Duluth, MN - Emily Larson - made an official proclamation from the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center making the date an annual national holiday. As the band's fans - Rushers - well know, Duluth holds special significance for Big Time Rush as the hometown of the four bandmembers on the hit Nickelodeon show Big Time Rush.

BIG TIME RUSH IN REAL LIFE WORLDWIDE will give fans exactly what they've long asked for - the band will play every song from every episode of their hit Nickelodeon show, many of which have never been played live. Rushers will finally get to 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 on all tour dates, making for an epic reunion.


Produced by Live Nation, the tour will kick off in Birmingham, AL on July 9. Carlos, Kendall, James & Logan will hit over 50 cities this year in the U.S., U.K. and Europe in a career-spanning, worldwide celebration of their hits, their fans & their friendship. The band is set to announce additional tour dates in more countries at another time.

Big Time Rush became an overnight sensation in 2009 from the launch of the Nickelodeon television series Big Time Rush. The show was a huge success and catapulted the group into real-life stardom, as they went on to release 3 studio albums and performed across the globe, including five tours from 2011 to 2014. In June 2020, the band held a surprise virtual reunion to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their smash hit "Worldwide," resulting in mass hysteria amongst their fans and in the media. In March 2021, all four seasons of Nickelodeon's Big Time Rush were added to Netflix and the band went viral once again, increasing fan demand for an official reunion. Soon after, the band announced they would come together for two special live shows in New York and Chicago, both of which sold-out in a matter of minutes, blowing expectations out of the water and proving the power of the band's devoted fandom.

Since reuniting, Big Time Rush has completed three back-to-back sold-out tours, selling out venues across the globe, including New York's iconic Madison Square Garden. Their first new album in over 10 years, Another Life, was released in 2023 to praise from critics and fans alike.

Stella McCartney Kids Launches Limited-Edition SpongeBob Capsule Collaboration

The Brand’s Kids Line Teams with the Iconic Animated Series SpongeBob SquarePants for a F.U.N., Conscious Capsule

Stella McCartney Kids x SpongeBob SquarePants

Stella McCartney Kids has unveiled a new unisex capsule collection in partnership with Nickelodeon, marking the 25th anniversary of the beloved animated series SpongeBob SquarePants. The limited-edition 38-piece collection incorporates iconic characters from the show into a range of apparel and accessories designed for children ages 0 to 14.

The collaboration introduces a variety of clothing items including swimwear, footwear, and vegan accessories, featuring the familiar faces of SpongeBob and his underwater friends. The products are available in styles that cater to both girls and boys.

This launch comes amidst growing concerns about the fashion industry’s environmental impact. According to research published in Nature Climate Change, marine life is under significant threat, with up to 90% at risk of extinction by 2100 unless action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Fashion contributes notably to environmental degradation, being responsible for a large portion of microplastic pollution in the oceans and accounting for about 20% of global freshwater pollution, as highlighted in reports by McKinsey and JustOneOcean.

In response to these challenges, the capsule collection by Stella McCartney Kids x SpongeBob SquarePants is made from 93% sustainable materials and is 100% cruelty-free, reflecting the brand’s commitment to ecological responsibility, thus protecting our fellow creatures and Mother Earth for future generations”. The collection features a variety of beach and skater-inspired designs, including light crochet knits, denim, and tie-dye loungewear made from organic cotton. Additionally, bombers, bags, and swimwear crafted from recycled materials help reduce plastic waste in oceans.

The lineup includes acid wash yellow and vintage wash denim sets embroidered with characters from Bikini Bottom, as well as pieces in bright yellow crochet showcasing SpongeBob himself. The collection also features tie-dye themes on organic cotton jersey, fleece, and denim sets, with McCartney typography iterations available in block colourways, along with monochrome sketches on pinstripe cotton poplin sets, faded denim shorts, and boxy tees.

“At Stella, we question everything — thinking out of the box, questioning humanity as we know it,” McCartney said, adding, “and SpongeBob has the same values as us. He’s a little bit crazy; he’s not of the norm and we celebrate every single thing about SpongeBob and his community.”

“Stella has transformed SpongeBob’s joyful spirit into a sophisticated whimsical fashion-forward collection for this iconic franchise,” said Pam Kaufman, Paramount’s president and chief executive officer of international markets, global consumer products, and experiences.

Stella McCartney Kids x SpongeBob SquarePants is available for purchase online at stellamccartney.com, in select Stella McCartney boutiques globally, and through selected wholesalers worldwide starting 20th March 2025.

Paramount Applies to Trademark 'Avatar: Safe Havens' With the USPTO [Updated]

Paramount Global has applied to trademark the name Avatar: Safe Havens with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

'Avatar: The Last Airbender' cast

Update (4/5) - Paramount have now "abandoned" their trademark applications for Avatar: Safe Havens, and are now applying to trademark the previously announced Avatar: Seven Havens title.

Paramount, under Viacom International Inc., has applied to register Avatar: Safe Havens under three NICE Classes: 28, for "Games; toys; sports equipment"; 41, for "Education, entertainment, sporting and cultural services"; and 25, for "Clothing; footwear; headgear". The requests was filed on March 14, 2025, and are currently pending approval.

It's currently unknown whether Avatar: Safe Havens pertains to an already announced Avatar: The Last Airbender project, such as the upcoming movie, tentatively titled Aang: The Last Airbender, or the upcoming animated series, Avatar: Seven Havens, or a completely new, still unannounced project set in the Avatarverse.

However, a clue might be in one of the NICE Classes that Paramount has applied to register the title in. NICE Class 41 is for "entertainment services, namely, a multimedia series featuring animation distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing non-downloadable television programs featuring animation via a video-on-demand service; providing entertainment information to others via a global computer network", which could pertain to Avatar: Seven Havens. As the names are very similar, Avatar: Safe Havens could be a new name for Avatar: Seven Havens, as it's not uncommon for series to change titles whilst in production. However, this is purely speculation.

Announced in February 2025, Nickelodeon is continuing the mythology and adventure of the beloved animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender with Avatar: Seven Havens, an all-new series from creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. Set in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, the original 26-episode, 2D-animated series centers around a young Earthbender who discovers she’s the new Avatar.

Avatar: Seven Havens is set in a world shattered by a devastating cataclysm. A young Earthbender discovers she's the new Avatar after Korra – but in this dangerous era, that title marks her as humanity's destroyer, not its savior. Hunted by both human and spirit enemies, she and her long-lost twin must uncover their mysterious origins and save the Seven Havens before civilization’s last strongholds collapse.

The series is in production under the Avatar Studios banner from Nickelodeon Animation in Burbank. Avatar: Seven Havens is comprised of Book 1 (13 half-hour episodes) and Book 2 (13 half-hour episodes). Michael DiMartino (Avatar: The Last AirbenderThe Legend of Korra) and Bryan Konietzko (Avatar: The Last AirbenderThe Legend of Korra) are co-creators and executive producers. Ethan Spaulding is executive producer and Sehaj Sethi is co-executive producer.

Previously announced, Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies’ highly anticipated Untitled Animated Aang Avatar film debuts only in theatres on January 30, 2026, featuring a voice cast that includes Dave Bautista, Dionne Quan, Jessica Matten, Román Zaragoza, Steven Yeun, and introducing Eric Nam.

The news comes as Nickelodeon celebrates the milestone 20th anniversary of Avatar: The Last Airbender with all-new original digital content across the Paramount ecosystem, one-of-a-kind experiences, and exclusive consumer products and games. Since its debut February 21, 2005, Avatar: The Last Airbender has been a fixture with fans around the world, spawning a universe of popular characters, a spinoff series with The Legend of Korra, several bestselling book series, live orchestra world tour and an upcoming theatrical film.
