Jonas Brothers Shift Six Dates to Smaller Venues

The Jonas Brothers have announced a significant shake-up to their highly anticipated 20th anniversary stadium tour. Six previously scheduled stadium shows will instead become smaller arena and amphitheater shows in the same cities on the same nights.

The impacted dates in this shakeup include stops in Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, and Los Angeles. In each affected city, the original stadium bookings—Nationals Park, Citizens Bank Park, Wrigley Field, Comerica Park, Globe Life Field, and Dodger Stadium—have been canceled and replaced by performances at venues like Jiffy Lube Live, Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre, Little Caesars Arena, Dos Equis Pavilion, and the Intuit Dome.

Fans received notice of these changes through Ticketmaster and the band’s social media channels. While the new shows will occur on the same dates, they are considered separate events—meaning ticket holders must repurchase seats at the new venue. Refunds for the original ticket purchase will be processed, while ticket holders will be given priority access to choose new seats.

“Every decision we make is with you in mind, ensuring the best experience for our incredible fans,” reads a statement from the band. “We’re making some changes, but rest assured, all performances are still happening on the same dates and in the same cities.”

While the statement does not provide an explicit reason for the new venues, speculation is abound. Lower than expected ticket sales are a likely culprit, with the Jonas Brothers wanting to give fans who are attending a more intimate experience than a stadium show could afford. The Jonas Brothers are not alone in moving tour dates around. The Black Keys recently canned their scheduled arena tour in favor of a significantly reduced schedule of smaller venues and festivals.

In 2023, rock band Incubus canceled some arena dates and moved others to smaller venues, citing ticket sales and logistical issues. In late 2024, Maroon 5 quietly downgraded several of its North American arena dates to amphitheaters and clubs due to weaker demand. The rend underscores a growing reality for touring artists—if ticketing demand isn’t there a more intimate setting may be required to keep the tour alive.
