The Jonas Brothers are bringing their hits to Toronto's Massey Hall this Saturday, February 15.

The surprise concert celebrates the band's 20-year anniversary, and 20 is a big theme of the night: they'll play 20 songs, to 2000 attendees, for just $20 per ticket.


The band shared a letter on Instagram, promising more announcements to come and expressing gratitude for their two-decade career. "It feels like just yesterday we were loading up our family mini-van with a couple of guitars," they write. "In the years that followed, you've given us a thousand lifetimes of incredible memories."

The Massey Hall concert is an extra treat for Toronto Jonas Brothers fans, many of whom recently got a surprise visit from the band at a local Camp Rock trivia night. In town filming an upcoming Christmas movie, the band popped in to Hemingway's restaurant and bar to join in the event, though they refrained from answering questions themselves.

They also built up their Canadian cred last fall with a Grey Cup half-time performance in Vancouver that saw them breakout their No. 1 hit "Sucker," as well as a horn section and some pyrotechnics.

They'll be bringing that track and 19 more to the historic Massey Hall venue tomorrow night, with the show beginning at 8 p.m. (or, 20:00).

Tickets are currently sold out, though it's always wise to keep checking Ticketmaster for last-minute drops.

For fans who can't make it, they also announced an anniversary celebration in March, JONASCON, which will see them take over the American Dream mall in New Jersey. The band got their start performing in malls as kids, and became teen idols through starring roles in the Disney Camp Rock movies and with early hits like "Burnin' Up."

‘Protect the Prize’: The Polaris Music Prize Undergoes Its Biggest Period of Change

Now entering its third decade, the Canadian critic’s prize has expanded its voting pool, adjusted to financial constraints and begun awarding both albums and songs. After years defined by its refined focus, the changes mark a major expansion of the organization’s mission.

In 2025, the Polaris Music Prize celebrated its 20th anniversary. Entering its third decade, the award is undergoing what might be its biggest period of change. From funding to voting process, the organization is continuing to evolve.

The cultural not-for-profit organization has spent the better part of two decades creating a space in the industry for Canadian acts to be recognized based solely artistic merit, rather than sales, genre or support from a record label. Founded in the 2000s as Canada's answer to the Mercury Prize, the organization became a registered Canadian charity in 2017.
