Fans Went Wild at the Jonas Brothers 20th Anniversary Show (Here’s What Happened)

20 Years, One Epic Night

Saturday night at Moda Center felt like a time machine for millennials as the Jonas Brothers celebrated 20 years of making music with their “Greetings From Your Hometown” tour. Fans arrived ready to sing along to every classic, from the early hit “Year 3000” to their 2019 chart-topper, “Sucker.”

A Night of Pyrotechnics and Drama

The two-hour show was polished and nearly flawless—almost. When one of the flames during “Burnin’ Up” refused to die, a stage technician had to step in with a fire extinguisher, causing a brief delay. The pyrotechnics added real heat and intensity to the concert, giving fans a memorable spectacle.

The Music That Shaped a Generation

The setlist featured nearly 30 songs, including a medley of deep cuts for long-time fans. Highlights included Joe’s DNCE hit “Cake by the Ocean” and Nick’s solo single “Jealous.” Their new breakup song “Backwards” was especially well-received, its chorus echoing through the arena and leaving fans singing along with longing and nostalgia.

Fans appreciated the variety—guitar, piano, tambourine, and soaring falsettos—while Joe even live-whistled during “Sucker,” proving the brothers’ talents have only grown stronger over the years.

Brotherly Bonds — Or Not?

Despite the energy on stage, interactions between the brothers were minimal. A brief shoulder lean hinted at their closeness, but the playful banter fans might have expected was largely absent. This led some attendees to wonder whether the hiatus between 2013–19 had left lasting tension. Still, given their busy family lives (five young daughters between them) and the commercial demands of pop music, the focus was clearly on giving fans a generous, professional performance.

Fan Reactions

The audience’s energy was unmatched, pogo-jumping, singing, and cheering throughout the show. Millennials relived their youth, sharing nostalgic moments with friends and capturing the night on social media. Fans were particularly thrilled to hear older hits alongside newer material, creating a seamless blend of past and present.
