Jonas Brothers Cancel Six Stadium Concerts, Including Dodger Stadium; Arena or Amphitheater Gigs Step In as Replacements
The 'Jonas20: Living the Dream Tour' will now be living the downgrade, at least in a half-dozen cities.
Jonas Brothers concerts set for stadiums in six U.S. locales this summer have been outrightly canceled, and new shows in arenas or amphitheaters will take their place. Fans were informed of the news Friday in email messages sent from Ticketmaster and on the Brothers' Instagram account.

The replacement concerts are taking place on the same dates as the canceled gigs, but they are completely separate bookings, so fans will have to buy tickets anew if they still intend on seeing the trio those nights. Ticketholders will receive full refunds automatically sent to their point of purchase, and then will receive priority status on being offered seats when the new shows go on sale next week
The affected JoBros dates announced as due for a change are in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Detroit, Dallas, Washington, D.C., and the Chicago area.
Dodger Stadium is the L.A. venue that is getting a downgrade; the show scheduled for Sept. 6 will now take place across town that same date at Intuit Dome in Inglewood. The group was attempting to fill the home of the Dodgers after having just played the massive venue two years ago, which may have had an affect on sales for this relatively quick return.
If there is any sense of deja vu to reading about the trajectory the JoBros are taking in L.A., it may be because Linkin Park followed that same path this year. That group announced in March that a Dodger Stadium concert set for Sept. 13 was being canceled and new tickets were being put on sale for a gig that night at Intuit instead. Of all the many boys of summer hitting Chavez Ravine this September, a lot less of them than expected will be musicians.
To chart the changes in other cities: The D.C. concert will now take place at Jiffy Lube Live, not Nationals Park, on Aug. 12. The Philly show on Aug. 14 has been rebooked from Citizens Bank Park to Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. The Illinois show has been moved to Tinley Park's Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre, instead of Chicago's Wrigley Field, on Aug. 26. The Detroit concert on Aug. 28 will now be at Little Caesars Arena instead of Comerica park. And Dallas fans can look for them at Dos Equis Pavilion rather than Globe Life Field on Aug. 31.
Emails to fans said information about 'first priority pre-sale access' to tickets at the different venues would be sent to their Ticketmaster accounts, specifically earmarked as a 'Past Purchaser presale.' That offer will become available this coming Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time.
Not every stadium show is off the Jonas Brothers' itinerary. The tour is still slated to kick off, as scheduled, with an Aug. 10 gig at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where a current seating chart shows sales have been fairly robust, and they remain scheduled to play Fenway Park in Boston Aug. 23. Almost all of the other concerts on their 43-city itinerary were always scheduled for arenas.
The band conveyed cheerfulness, along with an apology, to fans in posting about the changes on Instagram. 'To the fans, we're so excited to get out and be with you for our 20th Anniversary Tour! Every decision we make is with you in mind, ensuring the best experience for our incredible fans,' the group wrote. 'We're making some venue 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, We love performing for you and sharing this journey together… We apologize for any inconvenience these changes have caused and we can't wait to see you on the road!'
A new album from the brother trio, 'Live From the O2 Arena,' was released Friday. Their new studio album, 'Greetings From Your Hometown,' will follow on Aug. 8, just two days before the tour kickoff.

Today's Quordle Hints (and Answer) for Wednesday, June 11, 2025
If you're looking for the Quordle answer for Wednesday, June 11, 2025, read on—I'll share some clues, tips, and strategies, and finally the solution. Beware, there are spoilers below for June 11, Quordle #1234! Keep scrolling if you want some hints (and then the answer) to today's Quordle game. (If you play Wordle, Connections, and Strands, check out our hints for those games, too.) How to play Quordle Quordle lives on the Merriam-Webster website. A new puzzle goes live every day. If you've never played, it's a twist on The New York Times' daily Wordle game, in which you have a limited number of attempts to guess a five-letter mystery word. In Quordle, though, you're simultaneously solving four Wordle-style puzzles, and each of your guesses gets applied to the four puzzles simultaneously. Due to the increased difficulty, Quordle grants you nine guesses (12 if you play on 'Chill' mode, or eight if you play on 'Extreme'), rather than Wordle's six. To start, guess a five-letter word. The letters of the word in each of the four quadrants will turn green if they're correct, yellow if you have the right letter in the wrong place, or gray if the letter isn't in that secret word at all. Ready for the hints? Let's go! Can you give me a hint for today's Quordle? Upper left: Yearn or desire. Upper right: Where birds rest. Lower left: Acute or obtuse. Lower right: A deluge. Does today's Quordle have any double or repeated letters? Upper left: No. Upper right: Yes, one double vowel. Lower left: No. Lower right: Yes, one double vowel. What letters do today's Quordle words start with? Upper left: C Upper right: R Lower left: A Lower right: F What letters do today's Quordle words end with? Upper left: E Upper right: T Lower left: E Lower right: D What is the solution to today's Quordle? Upper left: CRAVE Upper right: ROOST Lower left: ANGLE Lower right: FLOOD How I solved today's Quordle I kick things off with SLATE, which is a good start. Maybe it's a different consonant cluster, like FR or DR. DRAPE? Close. CRANE? One off. It's either CRAVE or CRAZE. I'll try CRAVE. Phew. I'll try RHINO now to get some more vowels out of the way. The upper right might be ROOST. Nailed it. Looks like the bottom right has two Os as well. FLOOD? Yep. One to go. If I hadn't already used C, it could be LANCE. ANKLE? Ooh, close. It has to be ANGLE. The best starter words for Quordle What should you play for that first guess? We can look to Wordle for some general guidelines. The best starters tend to contain common letters, to increase the chances of getting yellow and green squares to guide your guessing. (And if you get all grays when guessing common letters, that's still excellent information to help you rule out possibilities.) There isn't a single 'best' starting word, but the New York Times's Wordle analysis bot has suggested starting with one of these: CRANE TRACE SLANT CRATE CARTE Meanwhile, an MIT analysis found that you'll eliminate the most possibilities in the first round by starting with one of these: SALET REAST TRACE CRATE SLATE Other good picks might be ARISE or ROUND. Words like ADIEU and AUDIO get more vowels in play, but you could argue that it's better to start with an emphasis on consonants, using a starter like RENTS or CLAMP. Choose your strategy, and see how it plays out.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Lose 4 Staffers Amid Latest Shuffle
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are undergoing another internal shuffle within their team. Four of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's employees have recently parted ways with the royal couple after Meredith Maines (Google, Hulu, American Idol) came on as their first chief communications officer earlier this year, Deadline can confirm. More from Deadline Meghan Markle Recruits Bill Gates' Ex-Assistant As Chief Of Staff To Oversee 'Dynamic Period Of Growth' Kyle Boulia Named Deputy Press Secretary For Duke & Duchess Of Sussex Following UTA Exit Prince Harry Videoed On Doorbell Camera "Looking For Friend At Wrong House" During UK Visit Among the departed staffers are LA-based deputy press secretary Kyle Boulia and UK press officer Charlie Gipson, both of whom were hired last March. These four are the most recent exits from their team. Since stepping back from royal duties, reports suggest at least 22 people have left their team, with six in the last two months. Harry and Meghan previously took on Emily Robinson (Netflix) as their director of communications, along with a team from Method Communications. Markle also hired Bill Gates' former assistant Sarah Fosmo as her first chief of staff last month.

How is Jim Gaffigan as a father? Hear it from one of his kids
How is Jim Gaffigan as a father? Hear it from one of his kids How is Jim Gaffigan as a father? Hear it from one of his kids How is Jim Gaffigan as a father? Hear it from one of his kids You know how Jim Gaffigan is forever complaining about his kids? On this Father's Day, it seems only right that we give one of his offspring equal time. Hi, I'm Patrick Gaffigan. We are giving my dad the day off this Sunday. Not that whatever he does on this show should be considered work. Patrick Gaffigan, the youngest of the Gaffigan clan. CBS News In full disclosure, I don't watch "CBS Sunday Morning," but then again, I'm not the demographic. I understand everyone loves this show and it's won a bunch of awards, but when I've watched, it just seems like a long commercial. Sorry. I am aware my Dad occasionally comes on this show and complains about how difficult it is to be the father of five children. Boo hoo! Waa-waa! I wonder whose fault that is? Here's a hint: It's his. Well, today I'm here to present a rebuttal. I'd like to talk to you about the struggles of being one of the offspring of this guy. Having Jim Gaffigan as a dad is not all rainbows and hot pockets, folks. He's too strict, talks too much about his garden, and often smells like cheese. I could go on, but my biggest issue is when people tell me I look like my dad. "Oh, you look just like your father." Are you trying to ruin my day? I know I look like my dad, and it's probably why I smoke cigars. [Don't tell my parents that.] For more info: Story produced by Lucie Kirk. Editor: Lauren Barnello. See also:
