NEW YORK – The brothers are back.
Four years after their comeback Happiness Begins Tour, the Jonas Brothers are on the road again for their The Tour, kicking off with the first of two consecutive, sold-out hometown shows at Yankee Stadium on Saturday.
The New Jersey natives are chronicling five of their studio albums as the marathon beginning to their tour, supporting their latest LP, “The Album.”
Building on the anticipation and format of their five-night Broadway stint earlier this year, songs from their newest album were sprinkled through two halves of the three-hour show, split by a downpour at intermission that magically halted as soon as they returned to the stage.
“A little rain doesn’t stop this show,” Joe Jonas said to the drenched crowd, still happily dancing and belting out the lyrics.
Act I featured their first two albums, “Jonas Brothers” and “A Little Bit Longer,” while Act II cycled through “Lines, Vines and Trying Times” and “Happiness Begins.”
They also had surprise guests: “Walls” got a boost from gospel legend Kirk Franklin alongside a soulful choir, and the band reunited with their former security guard Robert “Big Rob” Feggans, who rapped his verse on “Burnin’ Up.”
Joe, 33, Nick, 30, and Kevin Jonas, 35, dedicated songs to their wives in the audience (Sophie Turner, Priyanka Chopra and Danielle Jonas, respectively) and praised the OG JoBros fans for sticking with them for more than 15 years, even after a brief hiatus when the band broke up in the mid-2010s.
“I’m so proud we got (ourselves) together so we could be here tonight,” Nick Jonas said. “We’ve seen a lot of people who have been with us from the beginning.”The Tour is jam-packed with more than 60 songs from their Disney Channel start to their grown-up sound.
