The Jonas Brothers are set to take the stage during the NFL matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams at Melbourne Cricket Ground. The performance is part of the league’s first regular-season game in Australia.
Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas are bringing their hits to one of the NFL’s biggest international events of the year. The group continues to make an impact with more than 20 million albums sold and billions of streams worldwide.
“We couldn’t be more excited to perform at halftime during the NFL’s first-ever regular season game in Australia,” said the Jonas Brothers. “Playing at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in front of such passionate Australian fans is an incredible honor. We can’t wait to be part of this historic moment and celebrate with everyone in the stadium and watching around the world.”

The game takes place Friday, September 11 in Australia, which is Thursday, September 10 at 8:35 p.m. ET for viewers in the United States. Fans can watch the matchup and the Jonas Brothers’ performance live on Netflix.
The Melbourne show also kicks off a larger NFL entertainment lineup. The league plans seven musical performances across its international games this season, with more artists still to be announced.
“Bringing the first-ever NFL regular season game to Australia is a landmark moment for the league, and we are committed to creating an entertainment experience that reflects the scale and significance of the occasion,” said Tim Tubito, Senior Director of Global Game Presentation and Entertainment at the NFL. “The Jonas Brothers are global entertainers whose music connects across generations, making them the ideal artists to help us celebrate this historic game in Melbourne. We look forward to delivering a memorable halftime performance for our fans in Australia and those watching around the world.”
Football fans get a new international showdown. Jonas Brothers fans get a live performance. Melbourne gets a little bit of both.
