DNCE making a comeback won’t throw a wrench in Jonas Brothers’ plans as the sibling trio gears up for a five-night summer residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas. The pop band will perform on June 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11.
Ticket sales for Jonas Brothers: Live in Las Vegas begin on Monday, March 7 via the official Jonas Brothers website. The residency marks their first stretch of shows since wrapping the 40-plus date Remember This tour last year.
The announcement comes three years to the date from when Jonas Brothers made their grand return with “Sucker” after a six-year hiatus while Nick and Joe pursued solo musical endeavors.
Last year, Nick released his fourth studio album Spaceman, while Joe teamed up with Kygo just last week for a DNCE revival with “Dancing Feet,” their first single as a group since 2018.
“In the past with the Jonas Brothers, I used to carry a lot of trauma when new projects would present themselves because you could only focus on one thing at a time,” he told Rolling Stone.
Having found a middle ground since coming back together, the brothers are celebrating each other, even on non-Jo Bro releases. The reunited band has revamped their live shows with slick sets incorporating Joe and Nick’s biggest solo hits, performing “Cake by the Ocean” and “Jealous” alongside the likes of “Burnin’ Up” and “Cool.”
Zara Larsson has indicated that she may have cancelled her December 3 appearance at the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The singer initially confirmed that she would not attend, before removing the comment and sharing a more detailed explanation of why the performance no longer feels right for her.
The Swedish star was scheduled to take the stage at Etihad Live on Yas Island during the Yasalam After-Race Concerts. Zara and Lewis Capaldi were due to launch the weekend’s entertainment. However, supporters encouraged her to reconsider the booking because of concerns surrounding the United Arab Emirates’ reported connections to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary organisation accused of committing atrocities during the nation’s civil conflict.
A fan commented: “Please read about what UAE is doing to Sudan then cancel your Abu Dhabi show!” Zara responded: “I will not be going to Abu Dhabi.” Fans later realised that both comments had been removed.
She then shared that she had been considering what it means for her, as an artist, to perform in particular countries.
The Midnight Sun singer explained: “I think about that a lot in my life as an artist… I wanna perform and spread joy and music for people in every country, because no single person is their government.
“I’ve met so many wonderful people from every corner of the world and I know this to be true in my heart. I love people, and I love my fans soooo much.”
Zara acknowledged that her original comment “maybe came off as an impulsive response,” but explained that she had given the booking serious thought. She now believes withdrawing is the decision that “aligns with me the most right now, for many different personal reasons beyond politics.”
She continued: “Maybe I’ll delete both comments and do a better statement soon. I hope to sing with you in the beautiful future!”
