Big Time Rush concert chronology

The Better with U Tour[1] was the second concert tour by American boy band Big Time Rush. Visiting the United States and Canada, the tour supported the band's second studio album, Elevate.

Background

[edit]

The band announced the tour November 2011, on On Air with Ryan Seacrest.[2] The group stated the tour would be bigger, moving from the festival circuit, playing theaters and auditoriums. The tour also marks the band's first shows in Canada. The tour became a huge success, with shows selling out in seven major markets: Boston, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Detroit, New York City, Raleigh and Sacramento and the tour sold out in ten minutes.[3][4] The band also played two festival shows, the Houston Rodeo and Mardi Gras at Universal Studios. Joining the band on tour was British-Irish boy band, One Direction, giving the band their first performances in the U.S.

Critical reception

[edit]

The tour received positive reviews from music critics. Mark Lewis (American River Current) gave the show in Sacramento a rating of "love it" and said: "Put simply, BTR delivered on the hype that incited a crowd of young women to travel from as far as Fresno to catch a glimpse of their fresh-faced idols. Sacramento's Memorial Auditorium was filled to capacity over two hours before Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan took the stage".[5] Carin Lane's (Times Union) eight-year-old son described the show in Albany as the "best night ever". She wrote: "These guys can sing and move, as the show was well-choreographed on a stage that included a massive, three-tiered scaffolding with ramps, a walkway, two towers and a trampoline".[6]
