Kendall Schmidt
Often seen as the leader of the band in the Nickelodeon sitcom series Big Time Rush, Kendall Schmidt has been flying under the radar since the split. He re-joined the duo Heffron Drive in 2014 along with his friend Dustin Belt. The two formed this duo before the Big Time Rush days and have released several singles until 2018 along with an album Happy Mistakes. Since reuniting with Big Time Rush in 2020, he has been very active on social media with 2 million followers on Instagram and 677.9k on TikTok.

He also released various songs as a solo artist and also an album entitled How I Like It in 2017.

Logan Henderson
Last but not least, Logan has also kept his life very low-key since the Big Time Rush hiatus. After taking a three year break from the entertainment world to focus on his personal life, he briefly pursued a solo music career releasing three grunge pop style singles in 2017. In 2018, he release his solo album Echoes of Departure and the Endless Street of Dreams, Pt.1. His single “Pull Me Deep” released that same year peaked on the Billboard Top 40. Since the Big Time Rush reunion, Logan has been active on social media with 1.5 million Instagram followers and 833k TikTok followers.
We are so excited to see these four reunite on stage again at dozens of U.S cities this summer. Tickets are available for purchase now on the Big Time Rush website.
