Jonas Brothers Surprise ‘Battle Dance’ Hanson 18 Years After Name-Dropping Band in Song

EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY – AUGUST 10: (L-R) Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Kevin Jonas perform onstage during the Jonas Brothers: JONAS20 Greetings From Your Hometown tour kick off at Met Life Stadium on August 10, 2025 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The Jonas Brothers are only four dates into their JONAS20 Tour, but they keep upping the ante when it comes to surprise guests.

On Friday, August 15 — less than a week after the band stunned the crowd at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium by bringing out Demi Lovato and Jesse McCartney — Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas had their Virginia Beach audience losing it once Hanson hit the stage. Surprise!

Not only did Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson perform their mega-hit “MMMBop” alongside their fellow band of brothers, but they also joined in on Jonas Brothers’ “That’s Just the Way We Roll” — a majorly meta move, as the lyrics name-drop the band. (“You’ve got moves, I’ve got shoes, let’s go dancing,” Jonas Brothers sing the second verse of the song, which the group released on their eponymous album in 2007. “Pop and lock, battle dance against Hanson.”)

As if the performances weren’t enough — and they were, as the band-of-brothers crossover instantly had pop fans in a chokehold — both bands actually acted out the lyrics backstage.

In an Instagram video jointly posted by Jonas Brothers and Hanson immediately following Friday night’s concert, all six musicians got into the “That’s Just the Way We Roll” spirit, with Nick kicking off the clip by pointing to the camera and lip-synching, “You’ve got moves.”

Joe — who celebrated his 36th birthday at the show — then showed off his black loafers (and studded jeans) as he did a slow-mo body roll to the lines, “I’ve got shoes / Let’s go dancing.”

In a clever play on “pop and lock,” Kevin locks the hotel room door, as the camera then cuts to Hanson.

“Battle dance against Hanson,” the music blasts, as Isaac and Zac move towards the camera, snapping their fingers. Zac lowers his sunglasses as Isaac beckons the Jonas Brothers to take them on. (Taylor, for his part, laughs in the background.)

“Unsure if this counts as our ‘battle dance’ but ❤️ @hanson,” the caption of the post reads.

“Who won?” Hanson joked in the comments section.

Hanson’s surprise performance at the Jonas Brothers’ Virginia show, of course, comes on the heels of Lovato’s own revelation at her Camp Rock co-stars‘ tour kick-off show in New Jersey.

Reflecting on the moment, Lovato recalled on the Chicks in the Office podcast:

“Joe just asked me last week, he was like, ‘Hey, what are you doing next weekend on the 10th? We would love to have you come and perform ‘This Is Me’ and ‘Wouldn’t Change a Thing,’” the “Sober” singer shared, referring to the Camp Rock songs she performed.

Continuing Joe’s request, Lovato recalled him saying, “‘You’ve been a huge part of our journey and vice versa. This show is really important to us and we would love to have you there.’”

Lovato, who called the performance “so nice,” said it was “so healing for me too.”

“We’ve been through so much together all of us, the Jonas Brothers and I, and it was really, really great to spend time with them,” she gushed.

HANSON: Thank you for coming out to the shows!

We always love hosting the party, sometimes we are hosting other peoples’ parties. Happy Birthday to all our amazing music fans who make us part of their special days.
MESSAGE FROM THE BAND
This week we are coming down from an exciting weekend of special shows up the east coast. From a boutique event for the last breath of summer in Nantucket (maybe one of the most intimate shows we’ve done in the last 25 years) to a raucus crowd packing in one of the loudest crowds we can remember, up at the Mohegan Sun. Taylor even brought a bit of after party spirit to those shows with some late night dance party’s. Thanks to everyone who came out and made those nights to…not forget.

The weekend brought quite a range. Wrapping things up with our friends Guster and their vibey “On The Ocean” concert series was a perfect way to bring together this special run. It was great to see so many Hanson fans there to support, plus we got to see the great energy of another community of music fans, sharing in the special annual gathering.

Thanks to everyone that came out to the shows! On the web site, members have a weekly series of video blogs which will continue each week throughout the year, highlighting the Underneath;Experience show. We hope you enjoy those and it inspires you to take in the more than 40 songs on the music player for members. Also, a look back into the vault is still continuing with the Mixtape Masterpiece podcast series which you can discover with newly posted episodes on HNet until September.

September is a bit more quiet, but don’t forget there’s a whole series of one off shows popping up around the country, on sale now bringing us to various spots, as well as as our home state not too far from that red-river line at our Okie southern border.

We hope you have a great week wherever you are! Thanks for joining us at the shows and online.

Thanks For Listening.

About this event

Hanson Live at The Muse – August 7 | Nantucket, MA

 

This summer, Hanson — the multi-platinum pop-rock trio behind the global phenomenon “MMMBop” — brings their high-energy live show to The Muse on Wednesday, August 7 for a rare island performance you won’t want to miss.

 

Rising to international fame in the late ’90s, Hanson burst onto the scene with their debut album Middle of Nowhere, which sold over 10 million copies worldwide and earned the band three Grammy nominations. Since then, the Tulsa-born brothers have built a 30-year career on timeless songwriting, dynamic performances, and an unwavering connection with their fans.

 

With eight studio albums, numerous Top 40 hits, and a fiercely loyal global fanbase, Hanson has evolved into a seasoned touring powerhouse — blending infectious pop hooks with soul, rock, and gospel influences. Their shows are a celebration of musicianship, harmony, and the joy of live performance.

 

Now, for the first time ever, Hanson is coming to Nantucket — bringing decades of hits and fresh new music to the intimate setting of The Muse. Whether you grew up with them or are discovering them anew, this is your chance to catch one of pop’s most enduring acts under the glow of the island summer.

 

Doors at 7PM | Show at 8PM. Tickets available now – don’t wait!

Good times and much respect for our friends the Plain White T’s this past weekend, thanks to everyone who joined us!
MESSAGE FROM THE BAND
The summer is getting closer to its end, and some of our fun pockets of concerts are popping up! Last weekend we had a great time from the Northwest to the Midwest with two shows and as always amazing audiences. Especially in a window of time where we are not on a major tour that has us out for months at a time, the reminder of just how lucky we are to be able to share music with YOU is amplified each time we walk on stage. A special thanks to those that joined us and maybe even hopped on a plane or drove a distance to catch a show, we know there were more than a few.

This week’s pic we highlight another + of these couple shows. Sharing the stage and some hang time with new friends The Plain White T’s was a great addition to our musical days. Those guys put on a great show and we hope to be able to share the stage again.

Coming up soon we are headed east for a few different shows taking us to Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maine. Looking forward to it!

See you online and on stage!

We’re on the move for a weekend of gigs from Seattle to Minneapolis, let’s go!
MESSAGE FROM THE BAND
This week we get to bring some live music to a couple stages, from west coast to the upper Midwest. Thankfully it has not been an age since we made it to Seattle or Minneapolis, we also think its just about time for us to return to the stages of these communities that have always been good to us.

If you are planning to join us already we can’t wait to see you there. Look across the rest the summer and fall as we are popping up in quite a few spots across the US and Canada. 2025 may not be about a single tour, but it is still looking like it will bring us to stages all over the map. If you are not already planning to join us, take a look at the calendar section for the dates that are currently on the books, we may be coming closer than you think.

Don’t forget to check out some of the fun things on HNet whether its the members music or the special Mixtape podcast made available exclusively for HNet members.

Whether you are popping in this weekend or somewhere later this summer, we look forward to seeing you.

Thanks for being a part of the community and thanks for listening.

Isaac,Taylor and Zac
