Big Time Rush is officially back and bigger than ever in December 2025, having successfully transitioned from a beloved Nickelodeon musical sitcom to a fully independent, chart-topping pop music boy band. After a massive international tour schedule in 2024, the group—Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Logan Henderson, and Carlos PenaVega—is gearing up for their "Big Time Rush In Real Life Worldwide Tour" in 2025, proving their comeback is far from a one-off nostalgia trip.
The band has been consistently releasing new music, including recent singles like "Only One" (2024) and the highly anticipated "I Want You Here All The Time" (2025), alongside a new track "Blow Your Speakers Out" (2025), cementing their status as a major force in pop music. Beyond the group, each member has cultivated a unique and surprising career path, from starring in WWII action films to launching new ventures and focusing on family-friendly content.
The Big Time Rush Boys: A Complete Cast Profile and Biography

The BTR Comeback: New Music, Worldwide Tour, and a Movie in Development
The current era of Big Time Rush is marked by an unparalleled commitment to their music and their global fanbase, known as *Rushers*. The band officially reunited in 2020 after a seven-year hiatus, and their momentum has only accelerated since their initial *Forever Tour*.
The "In Real Life Worldwide Tour" for 2025
Following a highly successful run of sold-out international tours across the UK, Europe, Asia, and Australia in 2024, Big Time Rush has announced a massive new schedule for 2025: the "Big Time Rush In Real Life Worldwide Tour."
The 2025 tour is scheduled to kick off in the US in July in cities like Birmingham, Alabama, Nashville, Dallas, and Los Angeles. The group is also slated for major international dates, including performances in iconic venues like the OVO Arena Wembley in London, the MVM Dome in Budapest, and the Hallenstadion in Zürich in December. The scale of this tour confirms that the BTR comeback is a long-term project, not just a temporary reunion.
Fans are also being offered exclusive *VIP Packages* and *Fan Club* access, indicating a sophisticated, modern approach to managing their brand and connecting with their audience.
Fresh New Music and a Potential BTR Movie
The band has been consistently dropping new singles, moving past their 2023 album *Another Life* (which included a *Piano Version* EP). The singles "Only One" (2024) and "I Want You Here All The Time" (2025) showcase a mature, yet still signature pop sound. Another track, "Blow Your Speakers Out," is also listed for 2025, keeping the new music flowing for the *Rushers*.
Perhaps the most intriguing development is the persistent talk of a *Big Time Rush movie*. James Maslow has confirmed that a film project is in development, which, if realized, would serve as a major cinematic continuation of the BTR universe, potentially bridging the gap between their Nickelodeon roots and their adult pop career.
Beyond BTR: The Surprising Solo Careers of the Four Members
While the group remains a priority, the members continue to pursue individual passions in acting, music, and entrepreneurial ventures, providing a wealth of content for their fans.
1. James Maslow: From Pop Star to Action Film Lead
James Maslow, known for his role as the heartthrob *James Diamond*, has focused heavily on his acting career. He is a multi-talented actor, singer, producer, and speaker. Maslow is set to star in the upcoming film 'Black Skies,' which began filming in September, adding to his growing list of film credits.
His recent work includes the lead role in the WWII action film *Wolf Hound* (2022) and the film *We Need to Talk*, demonstrating a significant move into serious dramatic and action roles, far removed from the lighthearted *Nickelodeon* set.
2. Carlos PenaVega: Faith, Family, and Great American Family
Carlos PenaVega (*Carlos Garcia*) has built a thriving career in family-friendly entertainment, often collaborating with his wife, *Alexa PenaVega*. The couple, known for their strong Christian faith, has become a staple on the *Great American Family* and *Pure Flix* networks.
Their joint projects include the movie *Mr. Manhattan*, where they brought their on-and-off-screen chemistry to the screen. Carlos is also embarking on a new, unspecific venture that has generated excitement—and some anxiety—among his dedicated fanbase, signaling a new entrepreneurial effort.
3. Kendall Schmidt: The Revival of Heffron Drive
Kendall Schmidt (*Kendall Knight*) maintains a strong presence in the music scene through his side project, the band *Heffron Drive*. The band, which was active even during the original run of *Big Time Rush*, has been revived and continues to tour and release music. The name *Heffron Drive* is a deep-cut entity, referencing the street in Los Angeles where Schmidt and Maslow used to live, connecting his current work directly to his BTR roots.
4. Logan Henderson: Stepping Back into Solo Music
Logan Henderson (*Logan Mitchell*) has primarily focused on his solo music career. After taking some time away from the spotlight, Henderson launched his solo project with the single "Sleepwalker" and continues to release new material. His solo work allows him to explore a different musical style than the group's pop sound, offering fans a more personal glimpse into his artistry.
In summary, the question of "What is Big Time Rush doing now?" has a clear answer: they are not just back—they are dominating. With a massive 2025 world tour, a steady stream of new pop anthems, and four members successfully juggling the band with diverse and exciting solo careers, the BTR era is experiencing an unprecedented, high-energy second act.
