PROVO — You're going to want to "Remember This": The Freedom Festival announced Friday the headliner act for the 2024 Stadium of Fire concert will be the famous pop band the Jonas Brothers.
Stadium of Fire, held on Independence Day each year, is one of the largest events in Utah and has been a tradition for many since its inception in 1980. The concert is presented by America's Freedom Festival, which organizes dozens of patriotic activities for the holiday that more than 500,000 people attend.
The Jonas Brothers last graced LaVell Edwards Stadium in 2009, and the festival has been wanting them to return ever since, festival executive director Jim Evans said, adding that he hoped it would happen before the "Year 3000."
"We're delighted to welcome them back to Provo! They are one of the most electrifying — and of the most fun! — musical groups performing anywhere in the world right now," Evans said.
The JoBros, as some fans affectionately call Nick, Kevin and Joe Jonas, formed the band in 2005 and gained popularity through appearances on Disney Channel, including the "Camp Rock" movies and their own TV series titled "Jonas."
After a more than six-year hiatus when the brothers pursued solo projects, the band reunited in 2019 and fans across the world were "Sucker"s for the five-time platinum smash hit the band released that received a Grammy nomination.
With six albums, the New Jersey-raised brothers have truly found their "Wings" as they've sold over 20 million albums, earned 26 Billboard Hot 100 hits, logged three consecutive No. 1 debuts on the Billboard 200 and generated billions of streams.
This year's concert is anticipated to be one of the biggest I-Day extravaganzas in the stadium's history. Along with music that will have you saying "Happiness Begins" here, attendees get to experience the nation's largest stadium fireworks show that will have them "Burnin' Up."
Additionally, the event includes a flyover of jets from Utah's Hill Air Force Base, tributes to military and civilian heroes, a performance from the Rockwell Uncommon Skydive Team and an appearance from the Las Vegas-based Zion's Youth Symphony and Chorus.
