The Jonas Brothers canceled 6 stadium gigs for smaller venues. Now fans are scrambling for new tickets — and they're frustrated.
The Jonas Brothers recently announced the cancellation of stadium concerts in six U.S. cities this summer that will instead take place in arenas or amphitheaters. The band of brothers — Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas — has since canceled their scheduled stadium shows in Los Angeles (Dodgers Stadium), Philadelphia (Citizens Bank Park), Detroit (Comerica Park), Dallas (Globe Life Field), Washington, D.C. (Nationals Park), and Chicago (Wrigley Field).
The tour has also been renamed from 'Jonas 20: Living the Dream Tour' to 'Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour,' after their forthcoming album of the same name. The brothers shared the updated list of tour dates in an Instagram post on June 16.
'We're adding MORE shows to our 20th anniversary tour! This tour is both a celebration of 20 years of making music together and kicking off the next 20 with our new album, making this the most special performance we've ever done,' read the group's Instagram post. 'Bringing you all of your JB favorites both old and new, solo performances from Nick, Joe, DNCE, and The Administration.'
The band's latest Instagram post, which also debuted the tour's recently updated name, comes just three days after fans learned about the downsizing of certain venues.
'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 band said in a June 13 social media post. 'We're making some venue changes, to 6 shows only, 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.'
Fans who purchased tickets to the now canceled shows will receive a full refund. Fans who bought their initial tickets via Ticketmaster will also get first-priority presale access to tickets for the new venues. Presale tickets will be available on Wednesday, June 18, at 10 a.m. local time.
The Jonas Brothers fandom, however, is unimpressed by the turn of events.
While fans are disappointed about the sudden change in venues, they've also expressed frustration over how they were notified about it. Some fans claimed that they received emails from Ticketmaster with the word 'Canceled' in bold, before the Jonas Brothers released a statement about what was happening.
Having to go through the whole process of purchasing tickets is another reason fans are upset about the change in venues. Some have even decided not to repurchase for the new venue.
'Either transfer the tickets we already have, or make the presale for AFTER we have all gotten our refunds. Most of us (myself included) do not have the extra money right now to spend on MORE tickets,' one fan replied to the Jonas Brothers on X.
'I had row 1 for wrigley and am essentially walking distance from the (former) venue — not only will I not get my refund back in time to try and buy the same tickets again, it'll be against more competition this time and the commute is a hell of a lot longer than I originally signed up for,' another fan wrote on the Jonas Brothers subreddit.
Fans also pointed out that some of the rescheduled venues aren't in the same vicinity as the previously-scheduled stadiums.
One fan wrote on X, 'the jonas brothers thinking i'd be willing to go back to tinley park to see them as if the year is 2010 again. what happens when they can't sell that out either tinley and chicago are NOT THE SAME CITY!'
Added another, 'not the jonas brothers show going from dc proper to goddamn bristow virginia.'
Fans are also calling out the timing of the announcement. News of the canceled venues occurred on June 13, the same day the Jonas Brothers released their latest studio album, Jonas Brothers Live From the O2 London. The album's release, they believe, was used to deflect from the band's alleged need to reschedule the six shows due to low ticket sales.
One fan noted the supposed irony of canceling stadium shows the same day the live album dropped, writing on the band's subreddit, 'very ironic to me that the same day we get a live album, they cancel all the stadium shows to switch them to arenas. like they knew it'd be a huge disappointment so they snuck it in alongside the new album.'
Individually, the brothers have been booked and busy. Joe debuted Music for People Who Believe in Love, his first solo album since 2011, on May 23, while Nick has been starring in the Broadway production of The Last Five Years with Tony-winning actress Adrienne Warren since March 18. As a band, all three brothers are set to release their upcoming seventh studio album, Greetings from Your Hometown, on Aug. 8.

I tried the viral Elroel foundation stick — it takes a minute to blend, but it turns from clown white into my skin tone
Every so often, a beauty product goes viral for all the right reasons — and recently, the Elroel Blanc Cover Cream Stick, an innovative color-changing foundation from Korea, has been making the rounds on TikTok and Instagram. Almost magically, its stark-white pigment blends away to match the wearer's skin tone virtually perfectly. While it may seem that the white, almost chalk-like consistency would be too thick or caky for everyday wear, the result seems to be ultra-glowy skin with beautiful, non-patchy coverage and a scarily accurate color match. In other words: the internet's glam-loving girls are going positively feral. Here, I set out to see if the unique foundation stick is worth the hype (or if it's instead a gimmick that's simply too good to be true). It costs $27 on Amazon and comes in six adaptable shades Olivia Rose Rushing/Business Insider The buzzy foundation stick comes in six adaptable shades, from their lightest "200 Fair" to the darkest "205 Deep." As is true with many Korean cosmetic brands, the shade range doesn't encompass as many hues as American ones (think Fenty Beauty's industry-shifting fifty foundation hues). Because of this, I'm unsure if this will work for those with the deepest complexions. I ordered shade "201 Fair." When I first opened the box, I loved how simple and sleek the packaging was. What's more, the ultra-soft built-in brush actually felt like something I would use — especially when traveling with makeup. Upon my first application, the product felt a lot creamier on my skin than expected. I immediately disliked its powdery floral scent — which thankfully doesn't come from any added perfume — it's more likely due to the jasmine and evening primrose oils. Still, the heavy fragrance is my least favorite aspect of the formula. Before and after blending out the color-changing foundation Just like the viral TikTok videos, I couldn't believe how intensely stark white the color was swatched against my complexion (and I'm quite fair to begin with). That being said, it started to blend away relatively effortlessly, slowly but surely revealing an impressive color match that's hard to find in a foundation. While I initially thought that the built-in brush would be a major win, I did find that it took much longer than I prefer to spend blending my base makeup. Because of that, I probably wouldn't use it again, unless I was traveling or in a pinch as it did a good enough job. It matched my skin tone beautifully, but I just can't get past the scent It goes without saying that the color match is almost exact, and with a surprising amount of coverage that doesn't require you to layer more swipes of foundation. And as many have noted online, the final result is a soft-matte finish with a pretty glow that appears healthy and nourished thanks to efficacious ingredients like niacinamide. In that regard: I totally understand the hype. I also loved how this foundation worked well with my current product lineup, like my go-to cream-to-powder blush that's coloring my cheeks. Though honestly, despite its light finish, it was weighed down by the lingering powdery jasmine aroma. The bottom line The Elroel foundation stick does exactly what it promises: it swipes on white, blends into skin for a wow-worthy color match, and leaves you looking youthfully dewy. It never made my skin look too textured or caky, and overall, the formula is lightweight and wears well throughout the day. That said, my main gripes are the limited shade range — especially for those with darker skin tones — and the scent, which is a personal preference but important to note. Because of that, it hasn't replaced my current foundation, though it might just end up being someone else's new holy grail.

Bella Thorne Proposes To Boyfriend, And Women Hate It
Bella Thorne unintentionally pissed a lot of people off by getting down on one knee for her boyfriend-turned-fiancé, Mark Emms. On Saturday, the former Disney Channel star shared a surprising carousel on her Instagram. She captioned the post, "3 years ago we met, 1 year later he proposed, now 1 year later so did I." It was shocking to fans for two reasons: Not only was she showing herself proposing to Mark, but they were even more confused about the action because Mark had already popped the question to her in May 2023. Bella's IG post kicked off with a short clip of her literally getting down on one knee. Not long after, Mark also joined her on one knee, as she asked him to marry her while presenting him with his very own engagement ring. The mood was set with white and red flowers and lit candles spread out throughout the room. The second video showed a different angle of the proposal, where we see an up-close shot of the initial shock on Mark's face and him later breaking down into tears. It was then followed by the after, including a sweet embrace, as well as photos of the decor. And it ended with photos of them together, celebrating the reality that they both wanted to do a grand gesture to profess their love for each other. Well, the romantic moment was clouded by comments from people who were completely turned off by Bella proposing to a man: But there were also people who respected her decision and wanted others to do the same: Bella noticed the comments, but she didn't take them to heart. In fact, she thought it was funny how "split down the middle" the responses were. "Half of u are like let's not normalize proposing to your partner –– other half is like fuck yeah girl power this is the sweetest!!" she wrote on her Instagram Story. You can check out her full post below: What are your thoughts on this? Share them with me in the comments!
