There are nights when you can feel twenty years collapsing into one electric moment, when a song like “Lovebug” floats out over an arena and suddenly the whole place is singing as if it were still 2008. That’s the air the Jonas Brothers have been conjuring since August, when they kicked off their milestone “JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown” tour at MetLife Stadium. And now, as if the frenzy wasn’t already enough, the band just announced a fresh round of North American dates, including a Dec. 4 stop at Dickies Arena right here in Cowtown.
It’s not just nostalgia. The setlist is a time capsule and a telescope, as early hits collide with solo side roads such as DNCE and Nick Jonas & the Administration, stitched together with tracks from their latest album, Greetings From Your Hometown. The nights are peppered with cameos that feel more like high school reunions than guest spots, Demi Lovato, Switchfoot, Dean Lewis, and even Jesse McCartney, who is officially along for part of the ride now after crashing stages in Boston and Jersey.
If you’ve been following the headlines, you know the surprises haven’t stopped. One night it’s Kelsea Ballerini, the next it’s 5 Seconds of Summer, then suddenly Machine Gun Kelly or Sum 41. Fans aren’t just going to shows, they’re walking into living, breathing scrapbook pages of 21st-century pop.
It helps that Jonas Brothers have the resume to back it up: 20 million albums, billions of streams, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the kind of numbers on the Billboard charts that most bands only dream about.
Their comeback album, Happiness Begins, in 2019, was the spark that proved the Jonas flame wasn’t just still burning, it was about to roar. “Sucker” gave them the first Hot 100 debut at No. 1 of any group in this century. And the tours that followed, from Happiness Begins to last year’s globe-straddling The Tour, confirmed that these guys, Nick, Joe, and Kevin, had evolved from Disney Channel heartthrobs into a legacy act built for arenas and stadiums.
2025 is their victory lap; however, it doesn’t feel like a farewell. They’re still writing, still chasing new sounds, witness “Slow Motion” with Marshmello and “Love Me To Heaven,” or the way “Greetings From Your Hometown” threads old memories into brand-new choruses. Earlier this year, they threw JONASCON, a convention at American Dream in New Jersey that drew 75,000 fans and felt less like a gathering than a family reunion.
And if you can’t make it to a show, the band will beam a few into your living room, Milwaukee on Oct. 12, Orlando on Oct. 26, and Buffalo on Nov. 9, streaming exclusively on Samsung TV Plus.
The “JONAS20” tour is a reminder that the Jonas Brothers aren’t just part of the pop landscape; they helped build it. And for a generation of fans who grew up with their posters on the wall, these nights are a chance to sing at full volume again, twenty years later, shoulder to shoulder with the brothers who soundtracked their coming-of-age.
Tickets for the newly added shows go on sale Thursday, Oct. 2, at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster.
