Jonas Brothers concert chronology

The Happiness Begins Tour was the tenth concert tour by the Jonas Brothers, in promotion of their fifth studio album, Happiness Begins (2019). The tour began on August 7, 2019, in Miami, Florida at the American Airlines Arena and concluded on February 22, 2020, in Paris, France at the AccorHotels Arena.

Background

On April 30, 2019, the band and venues teased the phrase "Happiness Begins tomorrow", hinting a tour.[1] On May 1, 2019, the band officially announced their first major arena concert tour in ten years. Currently including 70 concerts in North America, 5 in Latin America, and 16 concerts in Europe. Bebe Rexha, Jordan McGraw, and Livvia are the opening acts in North America.[2] On May 7, additional shows where added in Los Angeles, New York City, Toronto, and Chicago due to the high ticket demand. Due to overwhelming demand, on May 10, 23 additional were announced.[3][4] On May 30, additional shows were added in Mexico City and Monterrey, due to high ticket demand.[5]

On June 6, 2019, the band added an extra London date at Wembley Arena.[6] On June 10, 2019, more shows were added in North American cities of Albany, University Park, Cincinnati and Birmingham, as well a second show in Inglewood due to overwhelming demand.

Critical reception

The tour has received positive reviews. Patricia Cardenas, from the Miami New Times, called the Miami show "genuinely touching and personal" and "dynamic and poignant". Cardenas also stated how this tour was a way of "giving back to their adoring fans while saluting the band they built into an empire as teenagers on the Disney Channel."[7] Brad Haynes, from radio station Mix 105.1, wrote for Orlando, "The Jonas Brothers have risen once again".[8] Mady Dudley, from Creative Loafing, called the show in Tampa, "unfiltered". Dudley also stated, "A lot has changed, and the brothers are all grown up, but the innocence of their music and their legacy still lives on".[9] John Moser, from the Morning Call, wrote for Philadelphia, complimenting each brother individually. Moser commented Nick's "mature" and "gusto" voice, and Joe's "powerful, distinctive delivery".[10]
