ICYMI: The Jonas Brothers and The Veronicas Just Reunited On Stage for the First Time Since 2008
The nostalgic pop acts shared the stage in Seattle to perform The Veronicas’ hit ‘4ever’, nearly two decades after touring together during the height of their fame.
Seattle fans got a mid-2000s throwback last night (Tuesday, September 24) when the Jonas Brothers reunited with The Veronicas on stage for the first time in 17 years.
As part of their JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown 20th anniversary tour, Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas have been surprising audiences with guest performers. On Tuesday, they brought Brisbane sisters Jess and Lisa Origliasso on stage to perform their 2005 hit '4ever'.

It was the first time the two acts had performed together since 2008, when The Veronicas supported the brothers on their Burnin' Up tour at the height of Disney-fuelled pop mania. For fans who came of age in that era, the reunion was a full-circle moment — The Veronicas were breaking through internationally while the Jonas Brothers were cementing themselves as teen-pop icons.
The brothers teased the cameo with a tongue-in-cheek skit posted earlier in the day, in which Kevin asked, "You think they're going to play 4ever by The Veronicas?" A deadpan Joe replied, "No," before cutting to the onstage moment. Within hours, the clip had amassed more than 500,000 views.

Clips of the joint performance quickly flooded social media, with fans calling it "the crossover we didn't know we needed" and "2007 in the best way possible." For the Jonas Brothers, it was another highlight in a tour that's doubled as both a victory lap and a nostalgic tribute to their history. For The Veronicas, it was a reminder that '4ever' still hits hard, 20 years on.
