Jonas Brothers Kick Off JONAS20 Tour with Surprise ‘Camp Rock’ Reunion Featuring Demi Lovato
In a monumental start to their highly anticipated JONAS20 tour, the Jonas Brothers delivered a night of pure nostalgia and electrifying performances at MetLife Stadium in their home state of New Jersey on Sunday, August 10, 2025. The kickoff concert, marking two decades since their formation, brought a jaw-dropping surprise for the tens of thousands of fans in attendance: a surprise reunion with their former “Camp Rock” costar, Demi Lovato.
The excitement reached a fever pitch as Joe Jonas, 35, who famously played pop star Shane Gray in the 2008 Disney Channel hit movie, began to serenade the crowd with “Gotta Find You.” The stadium erupted into thunderous applause when he introduced Demi Lovato, 32, who played the aspiring singer-songwriter Mitchie Torres. The iconic duo, whose onscreen romance captivated a generation and who briefly dated in real life in 2010, then dove into a medley of “Camp Rock” anthems, including the beloved “This Is Me” and “Wouldn’t Change a Thing.”
A particularly poignant moment came after their rendition of “This Is Me,” a song that culminates in a powerful duet between their characters in the film. Joe remarked that it had been “almost 10 years” since they last performed the track together, prompting Lovato to playfully interject, suggesting it “might have been longer.” This impromptu exchange underscored the rare and cherished nature of the reunion, which instantly became a viral sensation across social media platforms.
The “Camp Rock” tribute wasn’t complete without acknowledging the full Connect Three band. Kevin Jonas, 37, and Nick Jonas, 32, who starred as Jason and Nate respectively, also played pivotal roles in the film. Nick reminisced about the unexpected way he and Kevin joined the cast during his introduction to the segment, humorously recalling, “Joe got the job, and then somehow our dad figured it out to get me and Kevin to be involved in the movie too.” This anecdote provided a charming glimpse into the band’s early days and emphasized the family dynamic that has always been central to their story.
The night of surprises extended beyond the “Camp Rock” reunion. Lovato’s husband, Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, 34, shared his pride on Instagram, posting a clip of Lovato walking onto the stage to an ecstatic crowd, captioned, “Couldn’t be more proud… I love u sooo much baby.” Joe and Demi themselves celebrated the moment with a joint Instagram video, lip-syncing to “Wouldn’t Change a Thing” and even paying homage to fellow Disney star Debby Ryan’s viral “Sat Down with the President of Disney Channel” speech, with Lovato captioning their post, “For the history books @joejonas.”
Later in the show, the Jonas Brothers were joined by their entire immediate family, transforming the concert into an intimate, heartwarming affair. Their parents, Kevin Jonas Sr. and Denise Jonas, along with younger brother Frankie Jonas, 24, Kevin’s wife Danielle Jonas, and their daughters Valentina, 8, and Alena, 11, graced the stage to sing the timeless 2007 ballad, “When You Look Me in the Eyes.”
The brothers had teased the grandeur of their 20th-anniversary shows during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” just days prior, on Friday, August 7. Kevin acknowledged the monumental task of curating a setlist spanning two decades of music, while Nick reflected on the challenge of summarizing a “20-year journey.” The MetLife Stadium concert, with its blend of chart-topping hits, nostalgic throwbacks, and deeply personal family moments, proved to be a fitting and unforgettable start to their landmark tour, fulfilling their promise of “amazing special guests” and a truly representative celebration of their enduring career.
