“We are celebrating a 20-year journey together. And not just the three of us on this stage tonight, but each and every one of you here in this room is part of this story,” the Jonas Brothers addressed the sold-out Intuit Dome on Saturday, Sept. 6, framing the night around the tour’s central message. “This is the Greetings From Your Hometown Tour,” Nick Jonas told fans, “and it only feels right to begin here, together.”
From the start, the night felt less like a typical tour stop and more like a homecoming.
Fans who first discovered the Jonas Brothers as kids — plastering posters on their bedroom walls and memorizing “Camp Rock” lines — are now in their 20s and 30s, but inside the Dome, they screamed and sang like they were transported back to being 11 years old again. That shared nostalgia was the heartbeat of the evening: a reminder that for many, the Jonas Brothers have been a safe haven for two decades, carrying them through heartbreaks, awkward school years, and now into adulthood.
That spirit was alive before Kevin, Joe, and Nick even stepped onstage. The arena swelled with fans in throwback tees, some reading “I love hot dads,” others repping “Camp Rock,” Raven-Symoné and Frankie Jonas were spotted in the VIP section, and the energy already felt like a reunion of old friends who had grown up together through the soundtrack of this band.
The show unfolded like a scrapbook of memories, each page filled with songs and moments of connection. Early on, Joe leaned into the front row during “S.O.S.” and handed his tambourine to a fan, sending the section into a frenzy. He paused to reflect: “The irony is we wrote this one in the basement of our home in New Jersey, back when times were tough for our family in 2006. We dreamed of playing places like this in Los Angeles, and those dreams became realized.”
The brothers constantly blurred the line between stage and crowd. When a fan held up a sign asking for “Inseparable,” to be played, a track off their debut album from 2007, Joe invited her into a game of rock-paper-scissors to decide whether they’d play it. He won the round but grinned: “I beat you, but it doesn’t matter — this one’s for you.”
Later, they paused to admire the sea of homemade signs, laughing at some that were heartfelt and others that Joe admitted were “a little too vulgar to read out loud.”
Nostalgia carried the show as fans screamed through “Sucker,” swayed to “Lovebug,” and erupted when Big Rob, the group’s longtime security guard, stormed the stage for his iconic verse on “Burnin’ Up.” “Year 3000” turned the Dome into a time capsule, voices echoing like it was 2007 all over again. And when the encore ended with “Please Be Mine” — the very first song the brothers ever wrote together — it felt like coming full circle, 20 years of memories pressed into one moment. Nick summed it up best: “The sweetest part of this journey is seeing so many people I’ve shared life with.”
Some surprises gave the night a once-in-a-lifetime feel. John Legend walked onstage for a soaring duet of “All of Me” and “I Believe,” while 5 Seconds of Summer crashed the party for “She Looks So Perfect.” DNCE members joined for “Cake by the Ocean,” with Joe proudly showing off his black-and-gold jacket stitched with Double Double Animal Style, an ode to In-N-Out.
But the most powerful moment came when family literally joined the stage. Kevin Sr. sat at the piano alongside Frankie Jonas as the brothers performed “When You Look Me in the Eyes.” With their father singing and playing, what could have been a typical stadium ballad turned into a living room jam session shared with thousands of people.
That theme of home threaded through every detail, from teasing their upcoming Disney+ Christmas movie to recalling writing songs as teenagers in their New Jersey basement. “We thought how special would it be to bring the Jonas living room to you tonight,” they told the crowd, and in many ways, they succeeded.
The sleek new Intuit Dome was transformed into something warmer, a place where fans old and new could feel like family.
As the last notes rang out, voices still screaming, fans — many now adults — sang with the same abandon they once did as kids. For a generation raised alongside the Jonas Brothers, the night was more than a concert. It was a reminder that sometimes home isn’t a place at all, but a song you’ve carried with you for twenty years.
