Jonas Brothers Bring Showtime to NFL Melbourne Game

Billboard · 50 minutes ago

The Jonas Brothers headlined the halftime show at the NFL's first-ever regular season game held in Australia, adding star power to a landmark fixture between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams at Melbourne's MCG. The event drew more than 100,000 spectators, underlining strong local appetite for American football as the NFL continues its push into new international markets.

Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas performed a six-minute medley including "Burnin' Up", "Sucker", "Listen When Sad" and "Year 3000", capping it with a cover of John Farnham's "You're the Voice" as a nod to their Australian audience. Cody Simpson sang the national anthem beforehand, while the 49ers went on to beat the Rams 27-7. The Melbourne fixture forms part of the NFL's wider international expansion this season, which also includes games in London, Madrid, Mexico City, Munich, Paris and Rio de Janeiro.
