Jonas Brothers bring surprise guests, swagger to Jonas20 tour: Review
BRISTOW, Va. – The hype video that introduces the Jonas Brothers arrives with a sonorous voiceover about living in the moment, telling fans how 'life is messy' and 'takes detours' but 'somehow always brings you right back home.' And then the booming kicker amid frenzied lights and shooting pyro: 'THIS is family.' With that, the trio of Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas come swaggering and smiling from the wings, strolling to the tip of a catwalk together, the professional differences that splintered their brotherly union for a spell neatly compartmentalized for 2 ½-hours of polished pop digested by adoring fans. THIS is career longevity in action. The second date of the brothers' JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown tour pulled into Jiffy Lube Live amphitheater Aug. 12, two days after a massive homecoming arrival at MetLife Stadium in their home state of New Jersey that featured an internet-breaking guest appearance by "Camp Rock" costar and Joe's ex-girlfriend, Demi Lovato. The Virginia show was among those scaled back from stadiums, but nary a seat or speck of grass went empty at the 20,000-capacity venue as millennials basked in nostalgia and their kids learned the definition of magnetism. There was Joe, who turns 36 Aug. 15, in his studded denim outfit, sauntering the stage with arms outstretched and bedroom eyes in full effect as he proclaimed, 'We're back, baby!' And Nick, 32, with a bandanna jauntily hanging from his neck, telling fans earnestly, 'Treat tonight as a thank you letter for making (our career) possible.' And Kevin, the elder statesman at 37, owning his guitar riffs with quiet authority as he whirled around the stage among an ace five-piece band, four personable horn players and a pair of angelic-voiced backing vocalists. This tour, named for the band's just-released seventh studio album, will run through mid-November, and it seems designed for flexibility. The JoBros modified their setlist for night two, kicking off the slick show with 'I Can't Lose' and saving 'Lovebug,' the opener at the tour debut, until deep in the concert and playing 29 songs instead of 31. Though there wasn't a parade of guests (Switchfoot, Jesse McCartney and Dean Lewis joined Lovato in New Jersey), the threesome stayed true to the 'hometown' plot device by welcoming All Time Low. Jonas Brothers welcome All Time Low, Marshmello to stage Nick introduced Maryland-based rockers All Time Low with memories of driving 'up and down the East Coast' in the brothers' early career days before singer Alex Gaskarth stormed through the guitar-driven 'Dear Maria, Count Me In' the band's 2008 pop-punk hit. Also on board was Marshmello, who joined the guys for 'Slow Motion' before they ceded the stage to him for a 20-minute DJ set packed with trappings familiar to EDM fans – multiple streamer launches, zig-zagging lasers and showers of sparklers. Marshmello hung around for dreamy pop gem 'Leave Before You Love Me' (a song he brought to the band in 2021) before leaving the Jonas Brothers, now clad in suits of brown and beige for Act Two, to continue this 20th anniversary celebration of their career. Throughout the show, the threesome hopscotched among albums and solo projects. The band's 2023 'The Album' delivered 'Vacation Eyes,' which swooned with finger-snapping ease; a sweet 'Little Bird' that invoked emotional declarations from the three 'girl dads'; and 'Celebrate,' which crackled with its addictive, brass-filled groove. Current single 'No Time to Talk' inhabited its Bee Gees-borrowing chorus with a mirror ball, lights that pulsed a rainbow of colors, and the band engaging in their best John Travolta 'Stayin' Alive' finger-pointing dance moves. But while fans obviously embraced early Jonas classics including 'S.O.S.' and 'Year 3000," it was Joe's side gig with DNCE that shimmied the brightest. With his brothers by his side – as well as DNCE partner JinJoo Lee on guitar – Joe sashayed around the catwalk with supermodel moves as 'Cake By the Ocean' dropped with unfettered glee. As 'The Godfather' tells us, 'don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family.' All-American Rejects amuse with innuendo, but rock hard Prior to the Jonas Brothers' romp and a short set from Jonas the youngest, Frankie, the resurgent All-American Rejects bounded onstage at 7:40 p.m. Charismatic frontman Tyson Ritter tossed yellow roses to the front rows before strapping on a black guitar and bouncing in bare feet for the opening 'Swing Swing.' The band is having a moment, having made house (or barn or backyard) parties cool again this summer. But their taut power-pop-rock is best appreciated on these big stages. 'We are the bad boys of this tour,' Ritter said, dousing AAR's 35-minute set with sweat and innuendo as he joked about the venue's name, pleaded with a cotton candy vendor to give him some sugar and gifted a bride-to-be in the crowd with a tambourine. In between amusing antics, Ritter and bandmates Nick Wheeler (lead guitar), Mike Kennerty (rhythm guitar) and Chris Gaylor (drums) galloped through new song 'Easy Come, Easy Go,' the tom-tom heavy 'Move Along' and the sly 'Dirty Little Secret,' its biting lyrics dipped in melody. While resistance is futile when it comes to AAR singalongs, it was especially impossible not to succumb to the jagged guitar riffs and delicious vitriol of 'Gives You Hell,' a perfectly constructed anthem unfurled as a cathartic closer.

Demi Lovato joins Joe Jonas onstage at Jonas Brothers tour and sings ‘Camp Rock' songs
Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas reunited onstage to sing two songs from 'Camp Rock,' 17 years after the release of the Disney Channel original movie. Lovato joined the Jonas Brothers on the opening night of their 'JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown' tour at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Aug. 10 to sing 'This Is Me' and 'Wouldn't Change a Thing.' 'Thanks for having me @jonasbrothers,' Lovato captioned an Instagram video of her and Joe Jonas singing together, adding the heart hands emoji. After performing 'This Is Me,' Joe Jonas told the crowd the pair hadn't performed the song together in 'almost 10 years,' while Lovato said it 'might have been longer,' according to People. Lovato, 32, also reposted videos that her husband, Jordan Lutes, filmed from the concert, including the 'Cool for the Summer' singer walking onstage, surprising fans and sending them into excited cheers. She also reposted a pic of her and Lutes kissing in an elevator. Lovato and Lutes said 'I do' at a ceremony in California earlier this year, according to Vogue. Lovato, who was rumored to have dated Joe Jonas in 2010, according to People, joined the DNCE singer to lip sync to 'Wouldn't Change a Thing' in an Instagram reel posted Aug 10. She also stood by his side as they lip synced to an audio clip of their fellow Disney Channel star Debby Ryan talking about meeting with the president of Disney Channel to 'make history.' 'For the history books @joejonas,' Lovato wrote in the caption of the post. And Lovato wasn't the only special guest to join Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas onstage at MetLife Stadium. Jesse McCartney made a surprise appearance to sing his hit song 'Beautiful Soul' with the brothers, fan footage from the concert shows. Rock band Switchfoot also came onstage to sing a cover of their song 'Meant to Live.' Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas' little brother, Frankie Jonas, plus their parents, Kevin Jonas Sr. and Denise Jonas, also joined in to sing the last song of the night, 'When You Look Me in the Eyes,' according to video footage fans posted on social media.
