The Jonas Brothers are coming back to Pittsburgh for the second time in less than a year, with PPG Paints Arena set to host “The Burning Up Tour All Over Again” on October 26, 2026. The stop is part of a newly expanded 45-city North American run that grew out of what started as a limited celebration at Madison Square Garden.

According to WPXI, the Jonas Brothers said the response to announcing their sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden led them to expand the tour beyond New York, eventually stretching it across the continent. The band said their last tour showed how much the music means to them and their fans, a sentiment that appears to be driving this latest victory lap. The tour itself is styled as an homage to the original Burning Up Tour, and the expanded run will now travel city by city across North America.

Pittsburgh concertgoers won't have to wait long to see the band again. The Jonas Brothers last played PPG Paints Arena on November 12, 2025, during their “JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown” tour, a show that drew a sold-out crowd, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. That quick turnaround suggests the band's pull in the Steel City hasn't faded, and it comes just three years after their 2023 stop at the same arena on the “Five Albums. One Night.” world tour, which covered the band's entire two-decade discography.

Openers and Tour Scope

Per the seed reporting from WPXI, the Pittsburgh show's lineup includes special guest performers Magnus Ferrell and Franklin Jonas, along with All Time Low. The dossier notes that opening acts vary by city across the tour's 45 stops, and other reporting fills in additional detail on the Pittsburgh bill specifically: TribLIVE reports that Magnus Ferrell, son of actor Will Ferrell, will share the October 26 stage with artist and DJ Deleasa, who is Kevin Jonas's brother-in-law.

The full North American leg kicks off September 25, 2026, at TD Garden in Boston and wraps December 21, 2026, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, the band's home state, according to Consequence. That 45-city sweep is a dramatic expansion from the tour's original framing as a brief Madison Square Garden residency, and it arrives as a callback to the band's 2008 “Burning Up Tour,” which grossed $41 million across 48 North American dates in support of their album *A Little Bit Longer* and the original *Camp Rock* film, per Wikipedia.

Presales Roll Out in Stages

Tickets won't hit the general market right away. Presale tickets become available Tuesday, August 18, 2026, and general public sale for the Pittsburgh show begins Friday, August 21, 2026, at 10 a.m. local time, per WPXI's reporting. Other outlets add more granularity to that rollout: a Spotify Reserved presale is set for August 18, followed by artist and Citi cardmember presales on August 19 and a Live Nation presale on August 20, according to SeatGeek.

Fans who do land tickets for the October show will be walking into a recently modernized arena. PPG Paints Arena completed a $2.75 million technology overhaul earlier this year that installed a 6GHz Wi-Fi network with roughly 500 access points throughout the venue, a project Hoodline covered in a report on the arena's connectivity upgrade.

A Packed Promotional Week for the Trio

The Pittsburgh announcement lands during an unusually busy stretch for Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas. The brothers were inducted as Disney Legends at D23 in Anaheim on August 16, 2026, just one day before the tour expansion news broke, and that induction followed the August 13 premiere of *Camp Rock 3* on Disney Channel. The trio is also scheduled to headline the halftime show on September 10, 2026, for the NFL's first-ever regular-season game in Australia, a matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne — a booking Hoodline detailed in its coverage of the Australia halftime show. The brothers previously performed at the 2024 Grey Cup halftime show in Vancouver.

The family's business ventures haven't all kept pace with the touring momentum. Nellie's Southern Kitchen, a Las Vegas restaurant the Jonas family operated at MGM Grand, permanently closed on May 25, 2026, after its lease expired, a closure Hoodline reported at the time. It's unclear whether ticket demand for high-profile stops like Pittsburgh will prompt additional secondary dates, and no such plans have been announced.
