Currently, the internet is buzzing with Jonas Brothers fans feeling disappointed.
The band made an announcement through X on Wednesday, April 10, revealing that they are rescheduling their tour in Europe. They mentioned that upcoming shows will now be moved to later this year. The trio expressed their gratitude for the love and support from their fans, acknowledging that this change may be inconvenient. However, they are excited to share more details about what's to come.
The bandmates have announced that previously purchased tickets will still be valid for the rescheduled tour dates. According to a note on the Jonas Brothers’ website, the European concerts have been postponed due to “scheduling conflicts.”
Fans of Joe Jonas, Kevin Jonas, and Nick Jonas have expressed their disappointment on social media regarding the change in schedule. One user, @heyitsjobros, wrote, “I love the Jonas Brothers but I am not happy with the way they and their team are handling things. You can’t just reschedule tour dates without providing an explanation. People have made travel plans to see you and now the shows are postponed for months later.”
Yassmine_ehb expressed disappointment, “I had 9 tickets in 6 countries, You cancel the tour bc you have more exciting projects. Did you think of all of us who put so much money for this? Hotels and plane are not refundable.”
The band is currently touring Latin America, with upcoming shows in Chile, Peru, and Colombia. Known as The Tour, the concerts feature the brothers performing songs from five albums: Jonas Brothers (2007), A Little Bit Longer (2008), Lines, Vines and Trying Times (2009), Happiness Begins (2019), and select songs from The Album (2023).
Joe, 33, shared with the Associated Press in May 2023 that he and his two companions are focusing on their mental well-being as they prepare for a long tour.
He mentioned, "We've experienced burnout in the past and then realized we still have 20 more shows on the tour. So each of us has our own methods of dealing with that, and we ensure that we prioritize it. We also make sure that the three of us are communicating effectively."
The singer mentioned that performing in front of the band's fans doesn't feel like work to him. He expressed that they are approaching this tour as their best one yet and aim to make it an unforgettable experience for their fans.
