After taking a break in 2013 to pursue solo projects, the trio made a monumental comeback in 2019 with their multi-platinum hit “Sucker”. Over two decades, they have seamlessly bridged pop, rock, and adult contemporary genres, solidifying their reputation as one of the defining pop groups of their generation.
The year 2026 marks a landmark chapter in the band’s career as they celebrate 20 years of music. A major highlight of the year was their induction as Disney Legends, recognizing their massive legacy with the company that launched their careers. The trio also spent much of 2026 on their massive Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour, a global arena and stadium run that paid tribute to their full catalog, including solo hits from Nick Jonas & The Administration, Joe Jonas, and DNCE.
Demonstrating their cross-genre crossover power in August 2026, the brothers headlined opening night at Canada’s largest country music event, the Boots and Hearts Music Festival at Burl’s Creek. Performing before a mixed crowd of lifelong pop fans and country festivalgoers, the band delivered a hit-packed 90-minute set that showcased their versatile live performance strengths and broad generational appeal.
Looking past the festival circuit, 2026 continues to solidify the band’s enduring live status as they extend their anniversary celebrations with high-profile venue residencies, including return dates to New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden for The Burning Up Tour All Over Again. Combining new live recordings, career-retrospective setlists, and major honors, 2026 highlights a mature band operating at the peak of their performance capabilities.
