The Jonas Brothers are heading back to South Philadelphia, and this time they're bringing the whole 2008 vibe with them. The trio will play Xfinity Mobile Arena on October 2, 2026, as part of a newly expanded 45-city North American tour built around their breakout Burnin' Up era.
What started as three sold-out victory-lap shows at Madison Square Garden has snowballed into a full-blown arena tour, according to NBC10 Philadelphia. The band said the response to those New York shows was overwhelming, and that their last tour reminded them how much the music means to them and their fans. As the group put it, they're taking The Burning Up Tour All Over Again on the road city by city, bringing the live experience to fans nationwide. The 45-city leg officially kicks off September 25 at TD Garden in Boston and wraps December 21 at Prudential Center in Newark, following those Madison Square Garden kickoff dates in August, according to THV11.
A New Name for a Familiar Arena
Longtime Philly concertgoers should note the venue's new signage. The South Philadelphia arena where the Jonas Brothers are set to play was officially renamed Xfinity Mobile Arena in August 2025 under a multi-year deal between Comcast Spectacor and Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, replacing its previous name, Wells Fargo Center, per CBS News Philadelphia. The building operated as Wells Fargo Center from 2010 until last summer and will carry its new branding through the 2030-2031 season.
It's familiar ground for the band regardless of what's on the marquee. The Jonas Brothers have previously packed the same arena during The Tour in September 2023 and the Happiness Begins Tour back in August 2019, establishing it as a reliable stop on their headlining runs.
Who's Opening in Philly
For the Philadelphia date specifically, opening support comes from actor and musical artist Magnus Ferrell along with singer Deleasa, also known as Mike Deleasa, who are slated to appear as special guests across the tour, according to SeatGeek's tour breakdown. Other stops on the run will instead feature Franklin Jonas or pop-punk band All Time Low as the opening act, depending on the city.
How to Get Tickets
Ticket access rolls out in stages ahead of the general on-sale. A Spotify Reserved presale begins Tuesday, August 18 at 8:28 a.m. local time, followed by artist and Citi cardmember presales on August 19 and a Live Nation presale on August 20, with additional presales running throughout the week. The general public on-sale opens Friday, August 21 at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster, and VIP Nation is offering packages that include a pre-show Burnin' Up VIP Lounge.
Why the 2008 Throwback Matters
The tour name is a direct nod to the original 2008 Burnin' Up Tour, a 60-date North American run that featured Demi Lovato as an opening act and was later documented in the 2009 Disney feature film Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience, according to Wikipedia's account of the era. That tour arrived at the peak of the band's Disney Channel fame, riding the momentum of Camp Rock.
The title track from that era, Burnin' Up, served as the lead single for the album A Little Bit Longer and reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 — the group's highest-charting single for over a decade until Sucker hit No. 1 in 2019. A Little Bit Longer itself debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in August 2008, selling 525,402 copies in its first week, one of the largest album openings of that year, according to the Associated Press via WTHR.
A Big Year for the Jonas Brothers
The tour announcement lands just days after the Jonas Brothers were officially inducted as Disney Legends during the D23 ceremony in Anaheim, an honor Hoodline reported recognized the band's long-standing impact on Disney television, film, and music. Over their two-decade career, the group has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide, logged 26 Billboard Hot 100 entries, and notched three consecutive No. 1 debuts on the Billboard 200, according to D23's career recap.
Between the Disney Legends honor, the expanded tour, and the band's other 2026 headlines, the Jonas Brothers are having a moment that stretches well beyond South Philadelphia. But for local fans, the takeaway is simple: mark October 2 on the calendar, and get ready to hunt for tickets starting Tuesday.
