Jonas Brothers confirmed as half-time entertainment for historic MCG clash

The NFL announces the Jonas Brothers will be the half-time entertainment when Melbourne hosts the Rams and 49ers to launch the season in September.

Jonas Brothers confirmed as half-time entertainment for historic MCG clash

The Jonas Brothers are set to headline the half-time show during the NFL's inaugural game in Australia. The San Francisco 49ers will take on the Los Angeles Rams at Melbourne Cricket Ground on September 11. This marks the first time the NFL will hold a regular season match in Australia. The AFL semifinals are scheduled for the same weekend, which could pose scheduling challenges if the two bottom-placed teams from the qualifying finals are Victorian clubs, as they would host games themselves.

The Jonas Brothers will perform at the half-time show, marking their first appearance in this capacity. The trio, consisting of Nick, Joe, and Kevin, have achieved significant success with over 20 million albums sold and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. NFL Senior Director of Global Game Presentation and Entertainment, Tim Tubito, expressed excitement about the Jonas Brothers' headlining role, stating that their music resonates across generations and makes them perfect for celebrating this historic event in Melbourne.
