The Jonas Brothers, residents at Dolby Live at Park MGM since June 2022, will return for their four engagement on May 20, 22, 23 and 24.
The former boy band promises the engagement — part of their “Greetings From Your Hometown” tour — will cover all eras including Nick Jonas & The Administration and the solo careers of brothers Joe and Kevin Jonas.
Tickets go on sale to the general public sale at 10 a.m. Friday, March 13 at Ticketmaster.com. The presale deets are at JonasBrothers.com.
Brian is Back
After an incredibly stressful year for Stray Cats frontman Brian Setzer, his rockabilly trio announced on Monday “The Cats are Back,” an ambitious 16-date summer tour kicking off July 24 at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan.
Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Friday, March 13 via Ticketmaster, with an artist fan club presale scheduled to kick off 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 10.
In February 2025, Setzer, the band’s singer and guitarist, revealed his diagnosis with an undisclosed autoimmune disease that directly targeted his hands.
“I cannot play guitar,” he posted to social media. “There is no pain, but it feels like I am wearing a pair of gloves when I try to play.”
After approximately a year of therapy at the Mayo Clinic, Setzer and the Cats planned a 21-date return to the road. But that had to be scrapped just hours before the first date — Oct. 25, 2025 at the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.
According to a new press release, however, Setzer is back to form after six additional months of more intensive therapy.
“It’s good to be healthy and strong again,” he said, without going into detail about his condition or why he’s confident that it won’t recur.
On Feb. 9, a Long Island guitar store posted this video to Facebook of Setzer dropping by to crank out some Carl Perkins-like riffs. But while he sounded great, he didn’t demonstrate the lightning speed he was once known for, he played for less than a minute, and he was seated.
We are huge fans of the Stray Cats and wish Brian the best.
