Jonas Brothers Ditch 2025 Mtv Vmas For Epic La Tour Stop - Here'S Why!

Why the Jonas Brothers Skipped the 2025 VMAs

Hey, LA fam - if you were tuned into the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards last night and noticed a certain trio missing from the Hollywood spotlight, you’re not alone. The Jonas Brothers - Kevin, Nick, and Joe - were nowhere to be seen at the star-studded event, leaving fans wondering what kept them away from the glitz and glam.

Turns out, the boys had a pretty solid excuse. They’ve been tearing up the stage on their massive 20th anniversary tour, and just the night before the VMAs, they were right here in Los Angeles, giving fans a show to remember. With a schedule that tight, it’s no surprise they couldn’t make it to the awards - even if they’ve got serious VMA history with 13 nominations and a 2019 win for Best Pop Video with their banger 'Sucker.'

From the Staples Center to the VMA stage, these guys are no strangers to the LA entertainment scene, but this time, their tour took priority. And honestly, with the energy they’ve been bringing to their live shows, we’re not even mad about it.

Tour Highlights: A SoCal Vibe with a Nostalgic Twist

Speaking of their tour, the Jonas Brothers kicked things off in style on August 10 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, but it’s their recent LA stop that’s got everyone buzzing. They brought out a surprise guest that sent fans straight back to the early 2000s - none other than Demi Lovato, who joined them for a throwback performance dripping with nostalgia.

With clips from the iconic 'Camp Rock' movies rolling before her entrance, Joe Jonas welcomed Demi to the stage with open arms. The duo belted out a medley of hits, including 'This Is Me,' with Joe admitting they hadn’t performed it together in 'almost 10 years.' Demi chimed in with a laugh, saying it might’ve been even longer - talk about a blast from the past!

“Stepping back on stage with Joe and the guys felt like a full-circle moment - Camp Rock will always have a piece of my heart,” Demi Lovato shared, reflecting on the emotional reunion.

From Past Romances to Present Harmony

Now, if you’re deep in the Hollywood gossip loop, you know there’s a little history between Demi and Joe. The two dated back in 2010, making their recent onstage chemistry extra special for longtime fans. But don’t expect any Malibu-style drama here - both have moved on with grace.

Demi tied the knot with Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes earlier this year in May 2025, while Joe’s marriage to 'Game of Thrones' star Sophie Turner ended in divorce in 2023. Still, the vibe between Demi and the Jonas crew is all good. They even performed a heartfelt duet of 'Wouldn’t Change a Thing' from 'Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam,' proving some friendships - and epic collabs - stand the test of time.

For SoCal fans who caught their LA show, it was a night of pure magic, VMAs or not. With the Jonas Brothers and Demi bringing that Disney Channel energy back to life, it’s safe to say their tour stop was worth skipping the red carpet for. Who needs an awards show when you’ve got a concert with this much heart?
