Dance the “Pup Pup Boogie,” help the pups rescue Mayor Goodway and win the race! Classic theatrical scenery along with a high-tech video wall visually transport families to an authentic PAW Patrol environment. The show features favourite locations from the TV series including Adventure Bay, The Lookout, Seal Island, Farmer Yumi’s farm and Jake’s Mountain. Ryder and the pups share lessons for all ages about citizenship, social skills and problem-solving as they make several heroic rescues on their race to the finish line.

Today, four different PAW Patrol Live! productions are touring globally, providing kids the opportunity to experience live theatre, which for some may be for the first time, at this fan-favourite show.

In the new theatrical installment, after their ship gets caught in a mysterious storm, the PAW Patrol crash land on an unchartered tropical island filled with dinosaurs and are thrown into a series of high-stakes dino-sized rescues bigger than anything they’ve ever faced before.

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.

ABOUT BIG TIME RUSH:
Big Time Rush became an overnight sensation in November 2009 when the scripted TV show of the same name launched on Nickelodeon. The show focused on the Hollywood adventures of four hockey players from Minnesota after they were selected to form a boy band. The show became a huge success and later, Carlos, Kendall, James, and Logan came to life as a band off the screen releasing three full length albums and performing across the globe. As the show concluded in July 2013 and after four years of recording music and touring as a band, they went their separate ways but remained close friends through the years.
After 7 years, in an effort to bring joy to their fans during quarantine around the world, the members of Big Time Rush decided to appear together as a group to send a message of love and togetherness. This was soon followed by a socially distant performance of an acoustic version of their smash hit, “Worldwide”. These appearances resulted in hysteria amongst their fans and in the media, followed by BTR receiving 10+ million streams in 2020 alone. Four seasons of the TV show were added to Netflix in March 2021 and have appeared in the Netflix “Top 10” trending titles.
The band finished off 2021 with a performance at iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in Philadelphia as well as 2 sold out shows in Chicago and NYC, capping it off with the release of their first single in 8 years, “Call It Like I See It”.
The power group kicked off 2022 stronger than ever with the launch of their wildly successful, sold-out Forever Tour, as well as all new music, including hit singles “Honey,” “Fall,” and “Not Giving You Up.” The Forever Tour included numerous sell outs including shows in Chicago, at New York City’s legendary Madison Square Garden and on all dates on their Mexico Tour. The tour concluded in early 2023 in South America with shows in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Chile.
Another Life, which was released in June of 2023, was the band’s first new studio album release in ten years and was followed up by a special deluxe version in November. The band’s 2023 Can’t Get Enough Tour sold out amphitheater and arena shows – selling out venues across the US including Los Angeles’s KIA Forum and New York’s Jones Beach on the 39-city run. Across 2022 and 2023 the band’s reunion resulted in over 600,000 tickets sold.
2024 was another incredible year for Big Time Rush, including several sold-out international tours in the UK, Europe, Asia & Australia. The band ended the year with their sold-out holiday extravaganza – Big Time Rush On Ice – bringing their fans together for a first of its kind skating and concert spectacle on ice.

Big Time Rush In Real Life Tour | Big Time Rush
Our biggest show yet 🤯 Every song from every episode & so much more!

#BigTimeRush #BTRWorldwideTour #btr
Update (5/3): Stephen Kramer Glickman will be joined by his guitar player Soren Crisell!
It's been over a decade since the last episode of Nickelodeon's hit musical comedy series Big Time Rush aired. But the band has continued giving fans what they want: new music and a rehashing of the old hits
The group, which recently kicked off its In Real Life Worldwide Tour, went on hiatus starting in 2014. But in 2021, the group resumed live performances and released its single, "Call It Like I See It."
"When COVID-19 hit, and we put out a little remote, acoustic version of 'Worldwide', we all saw such a positive reaction from people all over the world who were scared, who were uncertain − like we were − watch that and go, 'This is the happiest I've been in a long time,'" James Maslow, who portrayed James Diamond on the Nickelodeon show, told The Cincinnati Enquirer, adding that the group had discussed going back on tour many times throughout the years.
"I think that was the encouragement that we needed."
Now, the band, comprised of Maslow, Kendall Schmidt, Logan Henderson and Carlos PenaVega, is touring for its fourth consecutive year.
"We have been so blown away with just how much excitement," he said. "It's really encouraging and it's awesome to see how many people we get to touch with our music."
Maslow revealed a 'Big Time Rush' movie is in development
Fans waiting for a reboot of Big Time Rush might not have to wait too long. The Nickelodeon show, which filled airwaves for almost four years and spanned four seasons with 74 episodes, is in development for a major reboot, Maslow said.
When asked if Big Time Rush would follow suit with the iCarly television show reboot, Maslow said re-doing a TV show is "simply a time issue," and due to that, they've "started developing a movie."
"There's no promises or guarantees here, but we have a script we're excited about and we've been in conversations for some time now, so I think there may be a chance that we get that green-lit and shot, maybe after this tour," Maslow said.
Maslow said it would be in production, with Nickelodeon's "blessing," to shoot the movie with Paramount+ and some of its parent partners because the group is "a little bit older" now and wants to share a "little bit of a different story."
"You know, I was on iCarly and I got to join Miranda (Cosgrove) and the cast for the reboot as well, and it is, it's very similar to the old show, but with swear words, whereas our movie would touch on the old characters and show, but it'd be totally different," he said.
"It's in development, but it's definitely possible."
Big Time Rush is excited to be back in Cincinnati (and wants to try the chili)
Big Time Rush first performed in Cincinnati at Riverbend in 2012, according to Concert Archives. Cody Simpson was listed among the openers for the concert.
The band returned to the Queen City in 2013, when the group performed at U.S. Bank Arena, now Heritage Bank Center. Former Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice (Victorious) was listed among the supporting acts for the show.
The group didn't return to Cincinnati until 2023, when it performed at Andrew J. Brady Music Center. Now, after a few short years, Big Time Rush is "so excited to be coming back" to the city and to show fans how they've "reinvented everything," Maslow said.
"The show itself was built from scratch, very much with the fans in mind and it's the first time that we've ever blurred the lines a little bit between the TV show and us as a band playing live," Maslow said.
"We are very much leaning in with the characters and we have, man, so many screens on stage. We have a 60-foot screen behind us, we have eight screens above us, we've even built a three-tier stage made out of screens. I think it's the most impressive show we've ever had."
Maslow also promised that anyone going to their show will leave "smiling and impressed."
"I'm not gonna even speak for myself, I'm going to speak for the other guys, it is so fun watching them on stage (and) we're at our best when we're on the stage, and we put on one hell of a performance," he said.
Since Big Time Rush's July 30 concert isn't the first time the boy band will venture into Cincinnati, there was one question which needed to be answered: Have any of them tried Cincinnati-style chili?
"Honestly, I don't recall. But if that's something we need to try, we need to have those backstage, we need to try them," Maslow said.
Big Time Rush will perform every song from every episode (with special guests)
Big Time Rush is giving fans exactly what they've asked for with this tour. During the In Real Life Worldwide Tour, the band will play every song from every episode of its hit Nickelodeon show, many of which have never been performed live.

The group is also set to reunite with former co-stars Katelyn Tarver, who played Jo Taylor (Kendall's love interest on the show), and Stephen Kramer Glickman, who played Gustavo Rocque (the band's manager). The two will join the band as supporting acts on all tour dates.
"We've had a lot of openers over the years, and a lot of them have been great, and some of them, we just don't really develop a personal relationship with, just because we arrive at different times (and) play at different times every night, so it's been really nice having people that just know you so well," he said.
"We grew up together in many ways, kind of like having a family around."
Maslow's tour preparation looks a lot different than it did in 2011
Like any musician, preparing for a tour is no easy feat. When Big Time Rush first hit the road in 2011, the four bandmates were in their early 20s. Fast forward more than a decade and the members are now reaching their mid-30s.
So, how do they prepare for the road? Maslow said he focuses more on his physical and mental health now than he did in his early touring years.
"We didn't really think about those things back in the day because we were relatively healthy, but these days, pre-tour, I actually started working with a physical therapist ... and I treat it like an athlete," he said.
"I've always been an athletic person, and I like to push myself on stage, and I'm so grateful because I'm out on the road now, feeling physically better and stronger, in many ways, I've ever felt. But it definitely takes a little bit more thought, and (I'm) a little more tactical about it now than I used to be."
Big Time Rush's crowd has become 'big buff bros'
The Big Time Rush TV show debuted Nov. 28, 2009. Like many boy bands, the group appealed to younger girls and teenagers. The members, however, have noticed a shift in their audience's demographic.
"(The fans) have grown up with us, and one of the interesting things we've noticed in the last four years we've been touring is we have a lot more guys in the audience and it's really exciting because you know, back in the day, (the fans) were very much younger girls," Maslow said.
The 35-year-old, whose character took his looks very seriously, said he loves getting stopped by fans who are like a "big buff bro (saying), 'Dude, I grew up, I got motivated to work out because of you.'"
"Being dudes on a TV show and being a guy who does black flips on stage, to me, that's really exciting," he added.
Maslow noted it's been "so cool" to see the band's fans grow up alongside them.
"Some (fans) become executives, some have families, just about every walk of life, being able to share their excitement for us and for the band together, it's a pretty unique crowd."
Out of all the guest stars, Snoop Dogg is someone Maslow will 'never forget'
Big Time Rush welcomed a variety of guest stars on Nickelodeon, such as musicians, actors and other Nickelodeon stars. Some of the show's most notable guest stars include American Idol winner Jordin Sparks and actors Fabio Lanzoni and Alexa PenaVega, the latter of whom would go on to marry Carlos.
But one guest star Maslow will never forget is the legendary Snoop Dogg. The "Gin and Juice" rapper guest-starred in Big Time Rush's Christmas special, "Big Time Christmas," in which Snoop and the band did a remix of the hit song "Boyfriend." The episode, which aired Dec. 4, 2010, also featured iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove.

"My favorite part about that was the music video," Maslow said. "Snoop said, 'Look, my daughters have never wanted to go to a music video shoot and today, they were begging me to come to this, so I just wanted to say thank you.' He's just someone I'll never forget."
The legendary rapper will also perform a show in Cincinnati on Aug. 11 at Great American Ball Park.
The band's In Real Life Worldwide Tour ends Dec. 22, 2025.

Audiences will be immersed in a two-hour performance with a live orchestra that brings the show’s iconic musical score to life in perfect harmony paired with visual highlights and favorite moments from all three seasons of the series. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 2 at www.avatarinconcert.com. 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 brand new consumer products and games.
Since its debut on February 21, 2005, Avatar: The Last Airbender has become a fixture with fans around the world, spawning a universe of popular characters, a spinoff series with The Legend of Korra, a recently announced new series, Avatar: Seven Havens, several bestselling book series, an upcoming theatrical film, and a live orchestra tour, Avatar: The Last Airbender In Concert.
“Avatar: The Last Airbender In Concert marks the 20th anniversary of this franchise in a way that joyfully celebrates the connection fans have with the original series,” says Pam Kaufman, President and CEO of International Markets, Global Consumer Products & Experiences, Paramount. “We are thrilled to be able to bring this experience to new cities worldwide, with some fun surprises in store for concert attendees.”
“We’re proud to be part of the global celebration of Avatar: The Last Airbender’s 20th anniversary,” says Floris Douwes, Producer and Managing Director at GEA Live and Ollie Rosenblatt, CEO at Senbla. “Since the concert launched in 2024, the tour has played over 200 shows, and sold 400.000 tickets worldwide, which is a rare milestone that reflects just how deeply this series continues to resonate with fans of all ages.”
Avatar: The Last Airbender In Concert – The 20th Anniversary Tour presents a stunning live orchestral performance of the series’ beloved soundtrack, now elevated with a once-in-a-lifetime cinematic experience. This special anniversary edition features a two-hour visual journey through all three seasons of the iconic animated series, projected on a full-size cinema screen with new elements and artistic surprises crafted for this special anniversary edition that offers fresh perspectives on the show’s legacy.
Preserving the original dialogue and sound effects, the concert replaces the recorded score with a powerful live orchestra, performing the legendary music of Emmy® Award-winning composer Jeremy Zuckerman, the creative mastermind behind the show's original music, in perfect sync with the action on screen.
“When I started work on Avatar: The Last Airbender, it was a dream to have the music performed by an orchestra,” said Zuckerman. “Now, over 20 years later, with the concert tour, that dream has come true in a way I never could have imagined. It’s profound for me to see the Avatar community of fans — so wonderfully diverse — come together to celebrate the show through its music. The atmosphere of joy at the concerts is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I’m elated that more people will continue to share in it.”
From taiko and erhu to soaring strings and delicate woodwinds, the music comes alive alongside the adventures of Aang, Katara, Toph, Sokka, Zuko, and more, all brought together by Zuckerman’s expanded arrangements and creative collaboration with original series editor Jeff Adams. With a few inspired additions and celebratory touches designed to mark the occasion just for this milestone tour, longtime fans and newcomers alike will experience Avatar: The Last Airbender like never before.
