Big Time Rush Add Summer Dates, Bringing Cody Simpson + Rachel Crow on Tour

Already in the middle of a sold-out tour, boy band sensations Big Time Rush have announced the Big Time Summer Tour, a new tour featuring more than 50 concert dates and high-profile support acts like Australian teen pop star Cody Simpson and 14-year-old ‘X Factor‘ contestant Rachel Crow.

The trek is bigger in just about every way than their current Better With U Tour, with more shows, more cities and bigger venues. “We can’t wait to hit the road again!,” the group said in a press release. “The Better With U tour has been amazing and we’re incredibly grateful to our fans who have supported us and made our first headlining tour a success.”

The latest tour hits arenas and large amphitheaters across the U.S. and Canada, beginning July 5 in Columbus, Ohio and continuing all the way through mid-September, with even more dates promised. Fans can get their hands on tickets starting March 10 via Ticketmaster, preceded by an exclusive sale for American Express card holders beginning on March 5.

Simpson and Crow will join other soon-to-be-revealed artists as the opening acts for various legs of the tour. Simpson has been busy recording, including a studio session with Justin Bieber, while Crow has already nabbed a record deal and a TV pilot from Nickelodeon after her emotional dismissal from ‘X Factor’ in December.

Big Time Rush will be taking over the Target Center on July 28.
