In an unusual move, The New Jersey Hall of Fame has confirmed The Jonas Brothers’ upcoming induction, ahead of the announcement of the rest of the Class of 2025. Eli Manning, the former Giants quarterback and a New Jersey Hall of Fame inductee himself, joined the group to make the announcement at the JonasCon fan convention at the American Dream mall in East Rutherford, March 23; American Dream also houses The New Jersey Hall of Fame.
Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas are now 37, 35 and 32, respectively. They will perform at this year’s New Jersey Hall of Fame induction ceremony, in the fall; the date and location will be announced in June.
“The Jonas Brothers will be our youngest male inductees in the New Jersey Hall of Fame to date,” said Steve Edwards, president of the New Jersey Hall of Fame, in a press release. “At the New Jersey Hall of Fame home in American Dream, and for the rest of their lives, the Jonas Brothers will serve as inspiration to new generations of young people of what it means to become your best in life.”
The public can vote on other nominees for the Hall at votehalloffame.com, through April 15. According to the press release, “The public vote will be considered when inductees are selected for the Class of 2025.”
In other news, the group has announced a tour, JONAS20: Living the Dream; this year marks the 20th anniversary of the start of the trio’s career. The tour will include a concert at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, Aug. 10, with Marshmello and The All-American Rejects also performing. Tickets will go on sale March 28 at 10 a.m., with pre-sales starting March 27 at 10 a.m.; visit ticketmaster.com.
