The Jonas Brothers canceled 6 stadium gigs for smaller venues. Now fans are scrambling for new tickets — and they're frustrated.
There's been a slight change of plans for the 'Jonas 20: Living the Dream Tour.' The Jonas Brothers recently announced the cancellation of stadium concerts in six U.S. cities this summer that will instead take place in arenas or amphitheaters. The band of brothers — Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas — has since canceled their scheduled stadium shows in Los Angeles (Dodgers Stadium), Philadelphia (Citizens Bank Park), Detroit (Comerica Park), Dallas (Globe Life Field), Washington, D.C. (Nationals Park), and Chicago (Wrigley Field). The tour has also been renamed from 'Jonas 20: Living the Dream Tour' to 'Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour,' after their forthcoming album of the same name. The brothers shared the updated list of tour dates in an Instagram post on June 16. 'We're adding MORE shows to our 20th anniversary tour! This tour is both a celebration of 20 years of making music together and kicking off the next 20 with our new album, making this the most special performance we've ever done,' read the group's Instagram post. 'Bringing you all of your JB favorites both old and new, solo performances from Nick, Joe, DNCE, and The Administration.' The band's latest Instagram post, which also debuted the tour's recently updated name, comes just three days after fans learned about the downsizing of certain venues. 'To the fans, we're so excited to get out and be with you for our 20th Anniversary Tour! Every decision we make is with you in mind, ensuring the best experience for our incredible fans,' the band said in a June 13 social media post. 'We're making some venue changes, to 6 shows only, but rest assured, all performances are still happening on the SAME DATES and in the SAME CITIES. We're pouring our hearts into making this the best tour we've ever done.' Fans who purchased tickets to the now canceled shows will receive a full refund. Fans who bought their initial tickets via Ticketmaster will also get first-priority presale access to tickets for the new venues. Presale tickets will be available on Wednesday, June 18, at 10 a.m. local time. The Jonas Brothers fandom, however, is unimpressed by the turn of events. While fans are disappointed about the sudden change in venues, they've also expressed frustration over how they were notified about it. Some fans claimed that they received emails from Ticketmaster with the word 'Canceled' in bold, before the Jonas Brothers released a statement about what was happening. Having to go through the whole process of purchasing tickets is another reason fans are upset about the change in venues. Some have even decided not to repurchase for the new venue. 'Either transfer the tickets we already have, or make the presale for AFTER we have all gotten our refunds. Most of us (myself included) do not have the extra money right now to spend on MORE tickets,' one fan replied to the Jonas Brothers on X. 'I had row 1 for wrigley and am essentially walking distance from the (former) venue — not only will I not get my refund back in time to try and buy the same tickets again, it'll be against more competition this time and the commute is a hell of a lot longer than I originally signed up for,' another fan wrote on the Jonas Brothers subreddit. Fans also pointed out that some of the rescheduled venues aren't in the same vicinity as the previously-scheduled stadiums. One fan wrote on X, 'the jonas brothers thinking i'd be willing to go back to tinley park to see them as if the year is 2010 again. what happens when they can't sell that out either tinley and chicago are NOT THE SAME CITY!' Added another, 'not the jonas brothers show going from dc proper to goddamn bristow virginia.' Fans are also calling out the timing of the announcement. News of the canceled venues occurred on June 13, the same day the Jonas Brothers released their latest studio album, Jonas Brothers Live From the O2 London. The album's release, they believe, was used to deflect from the band's alleged need to reschedule the six shows due to low ticket sales. One fan noted the supposed irony of canceling stadium shows the same day the live album dropped, writing on the band's subreddit, 'very ironic to me that the same day we get a live album, they cancel all the stadium shows to switch them to arenas. like they knew it'd be a huge disappointment so they snuck it in alongside the new album.' Individually, the brothers have been booked and busy. Joe debuted Music for People Who Believe in Love, his first solo album since 2011, on May 23, while Nick has been starring in the Broadway production of The Last Five Years with Tony-winning actress Adrienne Warren since March 18. As a band, all three brothers are set to release their upcoming seventh studio album, Greetings from Your Hometown, on Aug. 8.

Aston Merrygold, Oritse Williams, Marvin Humes and JB Gill were the Barclaycard Out Of The Blue surprise act at Wembley Stadium, with fans sprinting back to their seats to watch the set which included hits such as Beat Again and She Makes Me Wanna.

Marvin added: 'People have always known that we bring high-energy shows. We don't want that to slow down. When people buy a ticket to our JLS tour, they know they're going to get 150 per cent from the four of us. 'The energy was incredible, and that will be the same and more when we're on tour in November.' They begin their 16-date The Club Is Alive: 2025 Hits Tour in Glasgow in less than five months. During the trek, JLS will become part of the 21 club at London's O2 Arena on November 28 and 29. It means they will join acts including Prince, Kylie Minogue and Drake who have notched up 21 performances at the venue. 'For me it's a blessing,' Oritse said. 'My birthday is the day before so this is the best gift ever.' JB added: 'It's beyond my wildest dreams. We never thought we would be in this position. 'We don't even know how it happened.

Marvin continued: 'We always say, 'Never say never to new music,' but at the minute, we're focused on the tour. 'We are asking the fans to tell us what they want us to perform on tour. They will choose the set list.' As I said goodbye on Sunday, I jokingly asked the lads where they got ready for the Summertime Ball, after Mariah Carey took up nearly every backstage room. And it seems she is a JLS fan, with JB telling me: 'We've worked with Mariah before. 'She's like, 'The JLS boys, they're all right'. 'It was us and Will Smith. and We got dressing rooms next door to her.' 8 The Sun's Ellie meeting JLS Credit: Supplied Saturdays night fever THE stars were out in force at Wembley, with Frankie Bridge, Billie Piper and Sarah Hadland spotted enjoying the hospitality inside Barclaycard's Summertime Suite.

In Global's VIP area, ex-footballer Peter Crouch, joined by wife Abbey Clancy, gave Frankie a run for her money with his moves. 'Crouchy was doing more than the robot,' one of my pals told me. 'He was really giving it some welly.' I expect Pete to bring the same moves to Worthy Farm next week when we all head down to Glastonbury. That man loves to party.

They will play the Acoustic Stage on Sunday from 8pm for an hour – and will be using a stand-in if they are unable to find their Paul. I've no doubt they'll be looking Here, There And Everywhere for the replacement. Don't Let Me Down, lads.

'My AirPods were stolen in UK and they just showed up in unfathomable place'
A man from Maidstone, Kent expressed his disbelief after his missing Apple AirPod earphones bizarrely resurfaced in one of the last places in the world he suspected Apple's 'Find My' app is a very useful tool when it comes to helping to locate our mislaid devices - not just our mobile phones, but other gadgets made by the tech giant including iPads, MacBooks and AirPods earphones. Using the app, the iCloud service allows owners to view on a map where such devices are located at present - or where their last location before running out of battery. That has proven useful for one X user in Kent who had been struggling to find his AirPods - only for them to finally emerge thousands of miles away. In a post shared to the social media platform, user JB revealed the wireless earphones were in fact now in war-torn Iran - some 2,704 miles from his native Maidstone. "Hope the bod who nicked my AirPods on Maidstone high street and fled to Tehran is doing okay," JB added saractically in a caption. The tweet quickly gathered projection, viewed more than one million times over the weekend with hundreds of X users offering their thoughts in response. "If Apple were truly innovative they would enable a feature where you can talk or relay nuisance noise into one's stolen AirPods anywhere in the world," one person declared, before joking: " Rachel Reeves speeches on repeat for example." A second pondered: "Real question is how they ended up all the way in Iran of all b**ody places." A third claimed: "Tehran is one of the few places in the world where you can send/sell stolen Apple gear - they will gut an iPhone and replace enough of it so it can be used normally again without the iCloud lockout." A fourth joked: "You're better than me - I would be playing sounds at 3am their time and during the day so they loose their hearing." Whilst a fifth X user shared a similar unfortunate scenario alongside a screenshot: "Just like my phone got stolen one day, next day was in South Africa." Back in 2019, British student Lainey Fricker-Harrison was left shocked when her lost iPhone ended up 6,000 miles away in Hong Kong. Lainey lost the iPhone 6S during a shopping trip and said it had her entire 'life' on it. After a fruitless search, she was resigned to never getting the phone back. "I went home and got a new phone the next day. It's not as though it's a valuable phone, it's quite old," she said at the time. Lainey put her phone on 'lost' mode on Find My iPhone, so no one could access her data. A month later, after purchasing a new device, she received a message from a 'random email address' on Monday, more than a month later, saying her lost phone had been activated with a new sim card. She then received some suspicious messages that she thinks were a scam, saying her photo stream had been 'restored' into the phone of 'Mr Jack'. She didn't click on the link as a precaution, and changed her phone from lost mode to 'erase my iPhone'. Lainey logged on to Find My iPhone and discovered the device was in Hong Kong, near the border with China. Apple says of the technology online: "If you've lost or misplaced an Apple device or a personal item with an AirTag attached, use Find My to locate your device or item on a map. You can get directions to its location and, when you're nearby, play a sound or even get help finding its exact location." The company further advises users to mark their device as lost if unable to locate. "While you look for your device or item, you should mark it as lost," Apple says online. "This puts your device in Lost Mode – locking it with a passcode or your Apple Account password, and for devices compatible with Apple Pay, suspending any payment cards and passes that you use with Apple Pay. "You can also display a message that allows others to get in touch with you if they find your device or item."
