JONASCON will celebrate the 20th year anniversary of the Jonas Brothers with live performances, DJ sets, panels, activations, immersive experiences and surprise guest appearances.
Everyone who registers to JONASCON here will have first access to Jonas Brothers-themed events happening on March 22 and 23 in both NYC and at the American Dream Mall.
In anticipation of the celebrations, the iconic trio dropped a video on Instagram earlier this week to thank fans for their support throughout two decades. Check it out:

If you thought the Jonas Brothers were over, you are so wrong. The brand released its biggest album to date, aptly called The Album, in 2023, which included hit singles "Waffle House" and "Wings." In 2024, the world tour in support of the album became their biggest yet, including sold-out shows at Yankee Stadium.
But the Jonases have been part and parcel of our culture for years, now, especially for those of us who grew up in the early 2000s and 2010s. Who can forget the music Camp Rock, for example? Or the iconic Disney Channel original series Jonas. The band has also released multiple hits, including the nostalgia-inducing "Kids of the Future," the climate change alarmist banger "Year 3000" and, more recently, the racy earworm "Cake by the Ocean," which, by the way, ain't about dessert.
The free event at American Dream Mall will offer strong nods to the earlier days of the group's career, making the event the perfect opportunity to get back in touch with your younger self. While you're there, make sure to explore other parts of the American Dream Mall, which includes a massive indoor Nickelodeon theme park, luxury retailers and lots of restaurants, like the first-ever MrBeast Burger restaurant.
There are plenty of ways to get to the New Jersey mall from NYC, including several buses that depart from Port Authority seven days a week. Register for the free JONASCON events here.
