The Jonas Brothers’ special tour guests just keep on coming.
At Joe, Kevin and Nick Jonas’ JONAS20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour stop at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, N.J. on Thursday, Aug. 14, the sibling trio surprised the crowd with an appearance from The Click Five to perform the band’s 2005 hit “Just the Girl.”
Joe, 35, introduced The Click Five — comprised of Kyle Patrick, Joe Guese and Ethan Mentzer — by first noting the band “went on to influence a lot of our music,” according to a video from the show shared to social media.

“We just saw recently they were playing shows again. I couldn’t believe it. I was like, ‘What? … We have to get these guys out here,” he added of The Click Five, which performed two shows in Asia in May.
Nick, 32, then said, “They told us tonight is the first time they’re going to be playing electric for a crowd … in close to 15 years. So, Camden-slash-Philly, please welcome our friends, your friends, The Click Five.”
As the crowd cheered, lead singer Patrick exclaimed, “Well, hello! We’re back,” before playing “Just the Girl,” which reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in 2005. The song appeared on The Click Five’s 2005 album, Greetings from Imrie House, which hit No. 15 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
The Jonas Brothers’ next show is set for Saturday, Aug. 15 at the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach, Va.
The Click Five marked the latest guest on the JONAS20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour after the Jonas Brothers brought out Switchfoot, Dean Lewis, Jesse McCartney and Demi Lovato at their Sunday, Aug. 10 show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
Lovato, 32, joined the Jobros to perform Camp Rock tracks “This Is Me” and “Wouldn’t Change a Thing.” In an interview on the Chicks in the Office podcast, Lovato recalled feeling “nervous” before the performance, which marked the first time she shared the stage with the brothers in years.

“I wish I could have soaked it in a little bit more, but I was so focused on, like, ‘What am I singing, the chorus or the verse right now?’ I was so nervous that I was focused on just hitting my marks and doing the thing that I didn’t really soak up the love,” she said.
The Grammy-nominated artist, who played Mitchie Torres in Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2, added, “But seeing everyone and the reactions and everything just, like, filled my soul with warmth and love. It was incredible.”
She recalled Joe Jonas, who played pop band Connect Three member Shane Gray in the films and dated Lovato in 2010, reaching out “last week” and asking her to join the JoBros on stage.
“It was so healing for me, too. You know, we’ve been through so much together, all of us, the Jonas Brothers and I,” she said of the fellow Disney Channel alums.
