The Jonas Brothers are back on tour for their latest album, The Album, and kicked off the show with two sold-out nights at NYC’s Yankee Stadium. With promises of a “wonderful, emotional, and fun experience for all,” fans were quite surprised to find Jimmy Fallon on stage during the Night Two intermission. Not only was he there to reintroduce the band, it seems he took it upon himself to be a mini-opener for them too. “Are we having fun yet?” Jimmy asked, hyping the crowd back up, before asking, “How would you all like to be in the world's biggest karaoke party for two minutes?” The crowd roared with cheers, and the talk show host began leading them in singing The Killers' classic, “Mr. Brightside.”
“This is one of those nights I will never forget,” Fallon wrote on Twitter later that night, sharing a video of him in front of a sea of people. And it seems like the fans won’t be forgetting it either, as they responded with both confusion and excitement on social media. One joked, “I literally thought I hallucinated jimmy fallon singing mr brightside at the jonas brothers yankee stadium show” with another fan quipping, “I can’t believe the Jonas Brothers showed up at the Jimmy Fallon concert.”
The Tour depicts the band’s journey throughout five albums, including songs from their Disney Channel days, solo ventures, and the band’s 2019-on reinstatement. "The First Act" of the show sees the brothers performing their 2000’s classics, “S.O.S.” “LoveBug” and “Year 3000.” (In fact, the opening night even saw a live feature of their former security guard Robert "Big Rob" Feggans rapping his verse in “Burning Up.”) "Act Two" then follows with their more modern works, including Nick’s “Jealous” solo venture and Joe’s “Cake by the Ocean” with DNCE. However, it’s the brothers’ reunion that truly brings the concert together. “I'm so proud we got together so we could be here tonight," Nick Jonas said on stage. "We've seen a lot of people who have been with us from the beginning.”
