The Jonas Brothers brought a wave of nostalgia to fans as they launched their highly anticipated 20th anniversary tour on Sunday, August 10. The much-loved trio—Kevin, 37, Joe, 35, and Nick Jonas, 32—held the first of their JONAS20 shows at the iconic MetLife Stadium in their home state of New Jersey. The event was not only a celebration of two decades of music but also a heartfelt nod to their early Disney days, marked by a surprise appearance that thrilled the audience.
A Walk Down Memory Lane with Camp Rock
As the concert unfolded, the Jonas Brothers paused to honor their roots with a tribute to the 2008 Disney movie Camp Rock, which played a pivotal role in their rise to fame. Joe Jonas, who famously played pop star Shane Gray in the film, opened the tribute by delivering a passionate rendition of the song “Gotta Find You.” The moment was charged with emotion, setting the stage for what was to become the highlight of the night.
Soon after, Joe invited a very special guest onto the stage—Demi Lovato. Lovato, 32, who portrayed Mitchie Torres in the movie and shared a brief romantic relationship with Joe in real life back in 2010, joined the brothers to perform the beloved tracks “This Is Me” and “Wouldn’t Change a Thing.” Their chemistry, both on and off screen, resonated powerfully with the crowd.
Reflecting on Time Passed
Following their performance of “This Is Me,” Joe addressed the audience with a sense of wonder. He confessed, “We haven’t performed this together in almost 10 years,” prompting Demi to add, “It might have been even longer.” Their words highlighted just how special and rare this reunion was.
Kevin and Nick also played their parts in the nostalgic homage. Both had roles in Camp Rock as Jason and Nate, respectively, members of the fictional band Connect Three. Nick recounted the audition experience, recalling, “Joe got the job first, and then somehow our dad figured out a way to get me and Kevin involved in the movie too.”
He went on to say, “I think it’s time we all walked down memory lane to celebrate a little movie called Camp Rock.”
Family and Fans Share the Moment
The night’s surprises continued beyond the Camp Rock reunion. Demi Lovato’s husband, Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, shared moments from the event on his Instagram Stories, capturing Demi’s walk onto the stage amidst roaring applause. He expressed his pride with a heartfelt message: “Couldn’t be more proud … I love u sooo much baby.”
Meanwhile, both Joe and Demi posted their own glimpses of the reunion on social media. They shared playful videos lip-syncing to “Wouldn’t Change a Thing,” as well as mimicking a famous speech by Disney star Debby Ryan, capturing the joy and excitement of the evening. Demi captioned one post simply: “For the history books @joejonas.”
Later, the brothers welcomed more family members on stage, including their parents Kevin Jonas Sr. and Denise Jonas, younger brother Frankie, 24, Kevin’s wife Danielle Jonas, and their daughters Valentina, 8, and Alena, 11. Together, they performed the band’s 2007 hit “When You Look Me in the Eyes,” creating a touching family moment that delighted fans.
The Challenge of Celebrating Two Decades
In the days leading up to the concert, the Jonas Brothers appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to discuss the upcoming tour. Kevin reflected on the process of curating their performances: “There’s so much music to play. The setlist is hard to build, right?”
He continued, “But at the same time, it’s so fun because we do get to take breaks and admire each other’s work at the same time.”
Joe added with a chuckle, “And pee breaks mostly.”
As the Jonas Brothers continue their 20th anniversary celebrations, fans are reminded of the journey that began with Camp Rock and blossomed into a career spanning two decades. The reunion with Demi Lovato at MetLife Stadium was a poignant reminder of their shared history and the enduring power of their music.
The Jonas Brothers’ 20th anniversary tour kickoff was more than just a concert—it was a heartfelt celebration of their musical journey and the moments that shaped their careers. Their unexpected reunion with Demi Lovato not only delighted longtime fans but also rekindled memories of their Disney beginnings. With family joining the stage and the brothers reflecting on their past and present, the event perfectly captured the spirit of togetherness and nostalgia. As the tour continues, it promises to be a vibrant homage to two decades of music, growth, and lasting bonds.
