The 35-year-old musician told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview that the Jonas Brothers' upcoming tour will deliver something completely "different" for fans than the band's past tours. Joe and siblings Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas are set to kick off the Jonas20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour on Aug. 10 at MetLife Stadium in their home state of New Jersey.
"I think what fans can expect is that we are going to do what we can to give them the best show they can possibly enjoy every night. Really have a fun time on the road, enjoy the fact that we get to do this after all these years and just try to bring something different," Joe tells PEOPLE of the tour, which celebrates the group's 20th anniversary.
The tour, which runs until November, will also be in support of the Jonas Brothers' upcoming seventh studio album, Greetings from Your Hometown, out on Aug. 8.
"We did a big tour last year or two years ago, it bled into the last year, but I think what we've really realized is that we wanted to bring a show for the audience that they felt like was something different from what they've experienced before," he continues, noting that the plan was to give fans a chance to offer input.
"We're going to build a show with our audience, so we're rehearsing pretty much onstage and playing some of these older songs that we haven't played in so many years and see how they respond and what they want to hear," he explains.
As the setlist is still taking shape, Joe — who serves as an ambassador for Scotch & Soda and has a collaboration collection with the fashion brand — says he and his brothers are also still ironing out their onstage wardrobes for a tour that will get underway in the heat of summer.
"We're in the middle of figuring out what we're going to wear, but we never really dress according to the weather. The stadiums outside, it's like you don't even... I think it's going to be important because we're going to be sweating through those outfits really fast," Joe tells PEOPLE.
"Not much leather — there won't be a lot of leather being worn," he predicts. "I mean, you know, fashion can hurt, but that's one choice that we will avoid."
Reflecting on the 20-year milestone, Joe says it's a privilege and a thrill to still be doing what he loves, two decades later.
"Twenty years in now, still being able to do what we love for a living and have so many supportive fans and people that show up for these shows and listen to our new music and stuff, it's why it keeps us doing what we do," he explains. "I wake up every morning, [and] I'm ready. I get to do what I love for a living, so I'm happy to keep it going."
Kevin, 37, also opened up about the emotional milestone in a separate exclusive interview with PEOPLE in May.

'It's just wild to think that we've been a part of people's lives for this long, but I think what's really cool is that it's still continuing to be new," he said at the time, promising a tour setlist that will mix both oldies and top hits.
"We're constantly talking about the setlist, which is always a thing for us,' Kevin noted. 'We've been building out the show conceptually and what we wanted it to feel and look like. It's gonna be really special. You know, it's 20 years of the band, but really it's just about us going back on the road to celebrate how many people have been with us for so long, and the fans that have been made this journey possible.'
