Kevin, Joe and Nick are about to release their first album in 10 years. From the track list to the tour here's everything you need to know...
It's official official... Jonas Brothers are back, baby! After a long 6 year hiatus and several solo endeavours, Kevin, Joe and Nick are back together and this time, they mean business.
Back in March 2016, the Jo Bros announced their return as a trio by dropping their hit single 'Sucker', and they also teased an album and a whole tour. (They even hinted at bringing out a ton of special guests on stage too... Demi Lovato, anyone?)

The boys have already revealed that the album will be called Happiness Begins and will be released on June 7 2019. But what about the track list? How many songs will it have? And will there be any features on the album?
In April, Kevin, Nick and Joe confirmed the release date for their brand new album, which will be released through Republic Records. It comes ten years after the release of their last studio album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times, which came out in 2009.
The Instagram post revealed that Happiness Begins would be coming on June 7th, 2019. Fans will be able to stream the new tracks on Spotify and Apple Music, and also buy the album on iTunes.
The new album is entitled Happiness Begins, which, presumably, alludes to the J Bros' fresh start and where they are at in their lives.
Joe Jonas is engaged to Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner, Nick recently married Priyanka Chopra and Kevin is living his best life with wife Danielle and their two daughters. The newly dubbed "J Sisters", Priyanka, Sophie and Danielle, also starred in the music video for 'Sucker'.
Similarly to the 'Sucker' and 'Cool' music videos and cover art, the album cover for Happiness Begins includes palm trees, an infinity pool, a mountainous LA landscape and - of course - the J Bros' butts.
The album cover received a bit of heat online for looking like it was made on Instagram - someone even called it the "worst album cover ever made". Yikes!
There will be 14 tracks on the album.
Along with 'Sucker' and 'Cool', the album will also feature brand new songs called 'Only Human', 'Used To Be', 'Trust', 'Love Her', 'Rollercoaster', 'I Believe', 'Every Single Time', 'Don’t Throw It Away', 'Comeback', 'Strangers', 'Hesitate' and 'Happy When I’m Sad'.

Yes! The boys have been working on a documentary about their journey back together as a trio. The "personal, behind the scenes" film will be released on Amazon.
Speaking about the documentary, the Jonas Brothers commented: "Our fans are the best in the world and have shared in our journey as the Jonas Brothers and us as individuals. In releasing this documentary we wanted to make sure we partnered with an innovative platform, like Amazon, that could reach our fans around the world."
While speaking to PopBuzz, Nick revealed that it was partially the documentary that brought them closer together.
"We started filming the doc about a year or a year and a half ago, and it was really just to tell our story. We started to spend a lot more time together, in a working sense, and realising we were missing that magic, and that fun we had together back in the day and thinking that this could be a really exciting moment to get back to do this."
Speaking exclusively to PopBuzz earlier this year, the Jonas Brothers confirmed they're planning a comeback tour - which will feature special guests.
In the interview, the J Bros hinted at a possible reunion with Demi Lovato, though they ruled out Camp Rock 3, sigh. When we spoke to the boys in Feb, Joe Jonas commented: "I wouldn’t be opposed to doing an SNL skit about Camp Rock but I also think it would be funny if we waited like 30 something years from now, when we’re really old." So, like, we're all hoping that's the tea.
Speaking on James Corden's Late Late Show earlier this year, Nick admitted the part he played in the break up, saying: “We literally spent a year basically doing therapy, working through some things and figuring out what this chapter would look like.”
He added: “We’ve had to be really open and honest.”
They also took part in Carpool Karaoke with James Corden, singing some of their smash hits, including 'Burning Up', their rendition of Busted's 'Year 3000', 'When You Look Me In the Eyes' and, the grand finale, 'Love Bug'.
