Jonas Brothers cancel 6 stadium shows, shift to smaller venues for 2025 tour
The Jonas Brothers have scrapped stadium shows in six major U.S. cities on their upcoming 'Jonas20: Living the Dream Tour,' opting instead for smaller venues amid what appears to be soft ticket sales. The pop trio — Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas — notified fans late last week that concerts in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Detroit, Dallas, Washington, D.C. and the Chicago area will no longer take place in large ballparks and arenas. New bookings in more modest amphitheaters and arenas will replace the original dates. Ticketholders will be issued automatic refunds. The group clarified that fans will need to buy new tickets for the rescheduled shows, but those who originally purchased tickets for the canceled concerts will receive priority access to a pre-sale through their Ticketmaster accounts. 'To the fans, we're so excited to get out and be with you for our 20th-anniversary tour!' the band wrote in a statement on social media Saturday, June 14. 'Every decision we make is with you in mind, ensuring the best experience for our incredible fans. We're making some changes, but rest assured, all performances are still happening on the same dates and in the same cities. We're pouring our hearts into making this the best tour we've ever done.' Some of the most notable venue changes include the Sept. 6 performance scheduled for Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles now moved to Intuit Dome in Inglewood. Other downshifts include Nationals Park to Jiffy Lube Live (Washington D.C.), Citizens Bank Park to Freedom Mortgage Pavilion (Philadelphia), Wrigley Field to Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre (Chicago), Comerica Park to Little Caesars Arena (Detroit) and Globe Life Field to Dos Equis Pavilion (Dallas). Despite the shuffle, not all stadium appearances have been scrapped. The tour is still set to launch Aug. 10 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and hit Boston's Fenway Park on Aug. 23. The group's Sept. 25 performance at San Francisco's Chase Center also remains unchanged. The tour coincides with their eighth studio album, 'Greetings From Your Hometown,' set for release Aug. 8. The Jonas Brothers last played Chase Center in October 2019 on a comeback tour supporting the album 'Happiness Begins,' featuring their biggest single to date, 'Sucker,' which premiered at No. 1 on Billboard. 'We apologize for any inconvenience these changes have caused and we can't wait to see you on the road!' the band added.

Joe Jonas Delivers ‘Music For People Who Believe In Love'
Joe Jonas Since debuting as a Disney star alongside his brothers two decades ago, Joe Jonas has largely released music either as a part of the Jonas Brothers trio or with his rock band DNCE. Jonas ventured out on his own with his 2011 debut solo album Fastlife, but it's been more than a decade since fans have heard him take center stage on such a project. Jonas' sophomore solo album Music for People Who Believe in Love is out now, and the LP is a worth-the-wait reintroduction to the middle Jonas brother after the group reunited for 2019's Happiness Begins and 2023's The Album. The idea to make a new solo project came about when he heard a new track from producer friends and felt it didn't sound like a Jonas Brothers song or a DNCE song. "I was like, 'I don't know what it's for but I know I want to work on something. I feel the pull emotionally to work on music,'' he said on the Therapuss podcast of the project. 'And so I asked my brothers' blessings, and I was like, 'I don't want to call it solo, but I want to go do something on my own, and I don't feel like it's DNCE and I need to go just express some stuff for myself.'' Jonas teased the album's release last year with the singles 'Work It Out' and 'What This Could Be' and last month with 'Heart by Heart.' Getting to look inward and open up on tracks like 'My Own Best Friend' and 'Constellation' was an enriching experience for the singer. 'The last album that I did by myself, I'm very proud of. There were a lot of cooks in the kitchen at that time in my life. I was surrounded by a lot of people that I just said, 'Yes, and' to,' he recounted to Billboard. 'Now, knowing who I am, feeling confident, and looking at my life, I'm so grateful for the friends and family I have around me. And I get to do it again 20-something years later, and find creative ways to speak to what I've been through. I know the difference of when it's a [Jonas] Brothers song or a DNCE song; the music I've been making felt really personal. And I selfishly didn't want to share it with other people. This needed to come from my voice in particular.' The Jonas Brothers will come back together for the Jonas20: Living the Dream Tour this summer and fall starting Aug. 10 in East Rutherford, New Jersey and wrapping up Nov. 14 in Uncasville, Connecticut.
