Written by djfrosty on February 14, 2025
The Jonas Brothers are going back to their early mall-rocking days to celebrate their 20th anniversary. The sibling trio announced on Friday (Feb. 14) that they will be hosting a one-day blowout event dubbed JONASCON at the sprawling American Dream mall in their native New Jersey on March 23.
According to a statement announcing the gathering that is a tip of the hat to Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas’ mall barnstorming gigs from two decades ago, next month’s event will feature live performances, DJ sets, Q&A panels, fan activations, pop-up surprises, retail takeovers, a Jonas trading post, trivia, games, immersive experiences, an interactive art installation, keynote event, karaoke, a Camp Rock bar, special guests, mini golf and exclusive merch. “From their early beginnings to global pop icons, JONASCON will honor the band’s incredible journey while also showing their appreciation to the fans who have been with them from the beginning,” the statement promised.
Fans can register for free tickets to JONASCON now here. “A nod to their early days of mall performances, a first-of-its-kind music fan event, JONASCON promises to give fans the chance to engage in unique experiences, at one of the largest indoor retail and entertainment centers in the world,” the statement said of the American Dream complex, the three million square foot behemoth in East Rutherford, N.J. in the Meadowlands Sports Complex that is second only to Minnesota’s Mall of America in size and footprint.

In addition to a massive tree sculpture, 450 shops and 100 places to eat, American Dream has an NHL-sized ice rink, a Nickelodeon-themed indoor theme park, as well as a water park, indoor ski slope, two mini golf courses, aquarium, mirror maze and a trampoline park, among other attractions.
Anyone who registers for JONASCON will also gain first access to additional Jonas Brothers-themed events happening throughout the weekend of March 22-23 in both New York city and at American Dream; additional details on these exclusive, ticketed events will be shared with registered attendees in the upcoming days.
At press time the group had not announced the capacity for the JONASCON event.
The JoBros sparked fear in Jonas Nation earlier this week when they shared a lengthy post on their socials that made some think they were looking back in order to announce a potential split; the siblings broke up in 2013 after eight years together before reuniting in 2019.
“To our incredible fans, as a family, we have been reflecting a lot lately,” the post began. “It’s been 20 years since we started this journey together. To us, it feels like just yesterday we were loading up our family mini-van with a couple of guitars and copies of It’s About Time CDs, en route to an afternoon performance at a local to play for anyone who would listen. We were chasing our dream to play music and connect with others in a deep way that only music can provide. We were teenagers then.. actually, Nick wasn’t even old enough to get into a PG-13 movie.”
Further reading, however, revealed that the brothers were simply feeling nostalgic about how much their fans have meant to them and what that fandom has allowed the trio to do over the past two decades. “We treasure our connection with you as much today as we did when we played our first show. We are celebrating this wild 20-year journey by doing what we love, and we can’t wait to share it with you,” they promised, teasing a “year of music,” which will include new tunes from the Brothers, as well as a live album, soundtrack and solo music.
