San Antonio’s Frost Bank Center was buzzing with excitement on Saturday, October 18, 2025, as the Jonas Brothers rolled into town for a night that blended nostalgia, high-energy pop, and a celebration of two decades in the music spotlight. The trio—Joe, Nick, and Kevin Jonas—performed as part of their ambitious “Five Albums. One Night.” world tour, offering fans a sweeping journey through their greatest hits and deep cuts alike.
The anticipation had been building for weeks, with fans eager to relive the magic of their Disney Channel days or simply belt out chart-toppers like “Burnin’ Up” alongside thousands of fellow devotees. According to San Antonio Express-News, doors to the Frost Bank Center opened at 6:30 p.m., with the show kicking off promptly at 7:30 p.m. But the festivities started even earlier for many: parking lots opened at 4:30 p.m., and lines of excited concertgoers—some clad in vintage Jonas Brothers tees—began to snake around the venue well before sundown.
Getting into the arena required a little planning. The Frost Bank Center’s clear bag policy allowed only small bags, up to 12 by 12 by 6 inches, and all attendees had to pass through a security screening. “Travel light to keep lines moving,” advised staff, echoing the venue’s guidance for a smooth entry. With the venue operating as a cashless facility, payments for parking, concessions, and merchandise were all processed by card, a detail that many fans appreciated for its speed, though it caught a few off guard.
Parking, as ever, was a hot commodity. With on-site lots starting at $22.90, as listed by Ticketmaster, many fans opted to pre-purchase parking passes online to avoid the last-minute scramble. “Spaces can fill quickly,” warned Frost Bank Center officials, and judging by the sea of vehicles that filled the lots by early evening, that advice was spot on.
Inside, the buzz only intensified. Official Jonas Brothers merchandise stands dotted the arena, offering everything from throwback air fresheners for $10 to premium hoodies priced at $85. According to the band’s website, exclusive items were in high demand and often sold out before the opening act even finished. Fans clutched bags filled with shirts, posters, and accessories, eager to snag a tangible piece of the night.
But the real draw, of course, was the music—and the Jonas Brothers delivered. The setlist was a whirlwind tour through five albums, with the brothers pouring their energy into every note. Whether it was the infectious pop of “S.O.S.” or the heartfelt balladry of “When You Look Me in the Eyes,” the crowd sang along with gusto, waving phone flashlights and homemade signs in the air. The atmosphere was electric, and for many, it felt like a long-overdue reunion with the band that soundtracked their adolescence.
The San Antonio stop wasn’t an isolated celebration. Just one night earlier, on Friday, October 17, 2025, the Jonas Brothers had brought their Jonas20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour to the Moody Center in Austin, Texas. According to the Austin American-Statesman, this leg of the tour marked a major milestone—the band’s 20th anniversary. “It’s hard to believe it’s been two decades,” said Nick Jonas on stage, as fans erupted in cheers. “We wouldn’t be here without every single one of you.”
The Austin show also featured a unique family twist, with the brothers’ youngest sibling, Franklin Jonas, taking the stage with his solo project, Franklin Jonas & The Byzantines. The crowd responded enthusiastically as Franklin showcased his own musical style, proving that talent runs deep in the Jonas family. The All-American Rejects rounded out the bill, adding a dose of 2000s rock nostalgia to the evening’s lineup.
This sense of family and camaraderie was a recurring theme throughout the tour’s Texas stops. In San Antonio, fans were treated to stories from the road, heartfelt thank-yous, and moments of genuine connection between the brothers. “It’s not just about the music,” Joe Jonas told the crowd. “It’s about sharing these memories with all of you.”
For many in attendance, the night was about more than just catchy tunes and flashy stage effects. It was a celebration of resilience—both for the band, who weathered a high-profile breakup and eventual reunion, and for fans who’ve grown up alongside them. The “Five Albums. One Night.” concept underscored just how much the Jonas Brothers’ sound and style have evolved, from the pop-punk tinged anthems of their early years to the mature, genre-blending tracks of their latest releases.
The tour’s production values were nothing short of spectacular. Giant LED screens flashed images from the band’s history, while confetti cannons and pyrotechnics punctuated the night’s biggest moments. Yet, amid all the spectacle, there were quieter, more intimate highlights as well—like when the brothers gathered at center stage with acoustic guitars, inviting the audience to join in on a stripped-down singalong.
Fans left the Frost Bank Center with hoarse voices and full hearts. “It was everything I hoped for and more,” said longtime fan Maria Rodriguez, who traveled from Corpus Christi for the show. “I’ve loved the Jonas Brothers since I was a kid, and seeing them live again brought back so many memories.”
The band’s Texas swing was a reminder of their enduring appeal. From their Disney Channel beginnings to their chart-topping comebacks, the Jonas Brothers have managed to stay relevant in a fast-changing music landscape. Their willingness to embrace both the old and the new—celebrating the past while forging ahead—has helped them cultivate a multigenerational fanbase that spans from teens to thirtysomethings (and even a few parents tagging along for the ride).
As the final chords rang out and the house lights came up, it was clear that the Jonas Brothers’ journey is far from over. With a world tour in full swing and a 20th anniversary to celebrate, the trio continues to prove that their bond—with each other and with their fans—is as strong as ever. For those lucky enough to snag a ticket in San Antonio or Austin, the night was more than just a concert; it was a shared experience, a joyful reminder of the power of pop music to bring people together across generations.
