Big Time Rush to bring ‘In Real Life’ world tour to Dubai in 2026

Big Time Rush, the pop group that first captured hearts through their Nickelodeon TV series, is officially heading to Dubai. The band will perform live at Coca-Cola Arena on March 26, 2026, as part of their In Real Life Worldwide Tour, with special guests Katelyn Tarver and Stephen Kramer Glickman — better known as Jo Gustavo from the show. The concert is presented by Live Nation Middle East.

The four-piece band — Carlos, Kendall, James, and Logan — shot to global fame in 2009 with their hit series Big Time Rush, which followed four hockey players who suddenly found themselves as boy band stars. Their on-screen success quickly turned into real-life stardom with three albums, chart-topping singles, and world tours before they stepped away from the spotlight in 2013.

Their comeback in 2020 reignited excitement, with fans streaming their acoustic rendition of Worldwide over 10 million times that year. The following year, Netflix added all four seasons of their show, putting it straight into the platform’s trending list.

Since then, the group has sold out arenas across the U.S., Latin America, Europe, and Asia. In 2023, they released Another Life, their first album in a decade, and followed it up with the massive Can’t Get Enough Tour. They even closed 2024 with a unique holiday show, Big Time Rush On Ice.

Their 2026 tour promises to be their biggest yet, offering something never done before: performing every song from every episode of their TV series — including fan-favorite deep cuts that have never been heard live.
