LOS ANGELES – In a move that’s sending waves of excitement through pop-rock fandom, the Jonas Brothers – Nick, Joe, and Kevin – have announced a massive expansion to their wildly successful “JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown” tour, adding 18 fresh North American dates to celebrate the band’s 20th anniversary. The bombshell drop came on September 29, 2025, via a vibrant Instagram post from the trio, complete with a retro-futuristic tour poster featuring the brothers in their signature leather jackets against a backdrop of neon-lit hometowns. Kicking off the new slate is a highly anticipated stop in Cincinnati at the Heritage Bank Center on November 22, where fans can expect high-energy anthems, nostalgic deep cuts, and a special appearance from longtime pal Jesse McCartney. With tickets going on sale October 2 at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster and AXS, the extension promises to keep the Jonas fever burning well into December, blending their bubblegum roots with matured solo flair in arenas across the continent.

The announcement, timed perfectly with the tour’s midway momentum, underscores the insatiable demand for the JoBros’ live spectacle. Launched on August 10, 2025, at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium – a sold-out kickoff that drew 55,000 screaming devotees – the “JONAS20” outing has already shattered expectations. Celebrating two decades since their Disney Channel debut in 2005, the shows weave a tapestry of their evolution: from teen-heartthrob bops like “Burnin’ Up” and “S.O.S.” to Joe’s funky DNCE vibes (“Cake by the Ocean”), Nick’s sultry solo struts (“Jealous”), and Kevin’s heartfelt family anthems from his time with the Administration. Each night unfolds like a hometown scrapbook, with interactive elements like fan-voted setlist tweaks and LED screens flashing personalized shoutouts to ticketholders’ hometowns. “We’re not just touring; we’re time-traveling through our lives with you,” Nick Jonas shared in a pre-announcement TikTok, teasing the extensions with a clip of the brothers huddled over a map, plotting routes like kids planning a road trip.

The new dates, spanning November 16 to December 22, inject fresh energy into the itinerary, hitting underserved markets and wrapping with a bang at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. Highlights include November 16 at Newark’s Prudential Center, where local hero Kevin – a Jersey boy at heart – promises “a night that’ll make the Turnpike proud”; November 22 in Cincinnati, a nod to the Midwest’s passionate fanbase; and a festive December 22 closer in Brooklyn, potentially featuring holiday surprises given the timing. Other stops: Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena on November 19, Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena on November 25, New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center on December 1, Ottawa’s Canadian Tire Centre on December 5, Montreal’s Bell Centre on December 6, Baltimore’s CFG Bank Arena on December 10, and Rosemont’s Allstate Arena outside Chicago on December 13. Salt Lake City’s Delta Center rounds out the additions on December 18. “These cities have been calling for us since the Camp Rock days,” Joe quipped in a group FaceTime shared on their official site. “We’re answering with everything we’ve got – and then some.”

What elevates these extensions beyond mere logistics is the promise of unscripted magic, a hallmark of the “JONAS20” run that’s kept social media ablaze. Past shows have featured jaw-dropping cameos: Demi Lovato crashing the Vegas opener for a “This Is Me” duet that left audiences in tears; 5 Seconds of Summer joining for a punk-infused “Year 3000” mashup in Toronto; Alessia Cara trading verses on “Scars” in Seattle; and even All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth for a rowdy “Dear Maria, Count Me In” in Philly. The Cincinnati gig amps up the intrigue with confirmed openers Jesse McCartney – whose “Beautiful Soul” was a 2004 radio staple alongside the brothers’ early buzz – and Franklin Jonas, the “Bonus Jonas,” making a rare stage appearance with his indie-folk flair. “Jesse’s like family; we’ve been plotting this since the J.O.N.A.S. clubhouse days,” Kevin revealed in a SiriusXM spot. “And Frankie? He’s got stories that’ll blow your mind – wait till you hear him on ‘Shelf.'”

For Cincinnati faithful, the November 22 date is a home run. The Queen City’s Heritage Bank Center, a 17,500-capacity venue known for its intimate sightlines and electric atmosphere, hasn’t hosted the Jonas Brothers since their 2019 “Happiness Begins” tour stop, which sold out in under 30 minutes. Local promoters are already buzzing about tailgate vibes along the Ohio River, with pre-parties at nearby spots like the Blind Lemon and fan meetups at Fountain Square. “Cincy’s got that Midwestern heart – raw, real, ready to sing every word,” Nick said in a shoutout video posted to the venue’s Instagram. Tickets start at $59.50 for upper levels, climbing to $250 for floor seats, with VIP packages offering soundcheck access, signed posters from the 2005 Camp Rock era, and a “Hometown Hero” digital frame for your phone’s lock screen. Presales for JonasManiacs (the band’s official fan club) launched October 1, ensuring die-hards snag prime real estate before the general rush.

This surge in dates comes hot on the heels of the tour’s initial leg, which has grossed over $50 million across 35 shows, per industry estimates. Kicking off at MetLife – a poetic full-circle, as it was the site of their 2019 reconciliation tour finale – the production is a feast for the senses. Giant LED walls project home-video montages: baby Nick’s first guitar riff, Joe’s awkward prom photos, Kevin’s wedding dance with wife Danielle. The setlist, clocking in at 28 songs over two hours, spans their catalog with surgical precision. Act one dives into ’00s nostalgia: “Hold On,” “When You Look Me in the Eyes,” a crowd-chant “A Little Bit Longer.” Mid-show pivots to solos – Nick’s “Close” with laser lights syncing to the beat, Joe’s “See No More” backed by a horn section. The finale erupts into hits like “Sucker” and “Only Human,” often with pyrotechnics that rival a Fourth of July fireworks show. “It’s therapy on stage,” Joe admitted in a recent Variety profile. “Reliving the chaos, the comebacks, the joy – with fans who grew up with us.”

The Jonas Brothers’ trajectory to this milestone is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. Formed in 2005 by New Jersey siblings Kevin (born 1987), Joe (1989), and Nick (1992), they exploded from Disney’s assembly line: It’s About Time (2006) fizzled, but Jonas Brothers (2007) went double platinum, spawning “Year 3000” and a film (Camp Rock) that minted them teen idols. Stadium tours, a 3D movie, and Jonas L.A. followed, but by 2013, burnout led to a hiatus. Nick went solo with Who I Am (2014); Joe launched DNCE, scoring “Toothbrush”; Kevin dabbled in real estate and family life with Danielle and their two daughters. The 2019 reunion – sparked by a pizza-fueled brothers’ night – birthed Happiness Begins, a No. 1 debut, and “Sucker,” their first diamond-certified single. Albums like The Album (2023) and singles “The Place” (2025) kept the momentum, blending pop hooks with mature introspection on love, loss, and legacy.

Offstage, the brothers have evolved too. Nick, 33, juggles dad duties with wife Priyanka Chopra (daughter Malti Marie, 3) and Broadway revivals like The Last Five Years. Joe, 36, navigates co-parenting twins with ex Sophie Turner while teasing DNCE’s comeback. Kevin, 38, anchors the family vibe, often sharing construction updates on his solar-powered Wyckoff home. Their “JONAS20” ethos – “Greetings From Your Hometown” – stems from fan letters pouring in post-reunion: stories of first crushes, cancer battles survived to “Paranoid,” weddings soundtracked by “Lovebug.” “You made our hometowns feel like yours,” Kevin said at the tour launch. The extensions honor that, with eco-friendly riders (zero-waste catering, carbon offsets) and charity tie-ins: proceeds from Cincinnati merch benefit local youth music programs via the brothers’ Change for the Children foundation.

Fan frenzy hit fever pitch post-announcement. #Jonas20Extended trended worldwide, with 500,000 tweets in the first hour. Cincinnati JoBros chapters – a tight-knit group of 2,000 strong, led by superfans who’ve inked “Burnin’ Up” on their arms – hosted watch parties at Rhinegeist Brewery, complete with mocktail “Sucker” punches. “Finally, Cincy gets its night!” tweeted local influencer @QueenCityJoBro, sharing a fan-made edit of the brothers in Bengals gear. Globally, the buzz crossed borders: UK fans petitioning for a London add-on (denied, for now), while Filipino devotees – Priyanka’s influence – flooded comments with heart emojis. Even skeptics melted; one Reddit thread quipped, “From purity rings to party anthems – if they can evolve, so can I.”

As the tour barrels toward these new horizons, the Jonas Brothers stand as pop’s ultimate survivors: brothers bound by blood, beats, and unbreakable bonds. The Cincinnati show, with its riverfront glow and McCartney magic, encapsulates the magic – a “hometown” salute to a city that’s felt like family since day one. Whether you’re a Day 1 Maniac or a late-bloomer convert, these dates offer more than music: they’re a ticket to two decades of shared dreams, delivered with the grin that launched a thousand crushes. Grab yours fast – history’s calling, and the JoBros are picking up the line.
