Five Albums. One Night. The World Tour
Five Albums. One Night. The World Tour[1] (also referred as The World Tour or simply The Tour) is the ongoing twelfth concert tour by American pop rock band Jonas Brothers, in promotion of their sixth studio album, The Album (2023).
The tour is conceptualized to feature all songs from five of the band's studio albums from 2007 to 2023 on the same night. It began on August 12, 2023, in New York City, New York, and it is set to conclude on October 16, 2024, in Krakow, Poland.
Background[edit]
Plans for a new tour began as soon as the band started producing their sixth studio album.[2] In preparation for the release of their album and the upcoming tour, the band held a limited five-night Broadway engagement at the Marquis Theatre in New York City from March 14 to March 18, 2023, marking the Broadway debut of Kevin Jonas[a] and the band itself. Each night, they played the entire track list of one of their four studio albums released between 2007 and 2019, with the upcoming album on the fifth and final night.[3]
In April 2023, after Broadway, the band announced a concert for Yankee Stadium, playing the entirety of their five studio albums.[4] Originally intended to be a one night-only concert for August 12, 2023, the following week of the original announcement, a second date was announced for August 13.[5] The band continued to play various shows throughout April 2023 at the Royal Albert Hall in London,[6] at The Theatre at Ace Hotel in Los Angeles, at Tannahill's Tavern in Dallas-Fort Worth, at the Baltimore Soundstage in Baltimore[7] and the Something in the Water Festival in Virginia Beach.
On May 2, 2023, the tour was officially announced, with Yankee Stadium's dates serving as the kickoff, to support and perform all songs from The Album, as well as perform all songs from their previous four albums: Jonas Brothers (2007), A Little Bit Longer (2008), Lines, Vines and Trying Times (2009) and Happiness Begins (2019) at every concert.[8]
On July 27, 2023, the band announced international dates, adding up to 50 concerts,[9] including North America, Europe and Australia.[10]
The tour's setlist is composed of over 67 songs from the five studio albums released by the band between 2007 and 2023, as well as the standalone singles, "What a Man Gotta Do", "Leave Before You Love Me", and "Remember This", as well as Nick Jonas' "Jealous" and DNCE's "Cake by the Ocean".[11]
Critical reception[edit]
The tour has received positive reviews from critics. Rolling Stone staff writer Brittany Spanos called it a "massive show" and wrote that the tour is "an ambitious feat from any group", noting that "it's their version of Eras Tour, with the boys and their massive E-Street-like band tackling over 60 songs from five of their six albums".[12]
