Pop trio Jonas Brothers will launch on a massive tour in 2025, called Jonas20: Living the Dream, which will include a stop at the Toyota Center in Houston on October 19.

Announced at JONASCON, a special one day event in New Jersey celebrating the band's 20th anniversary, the tour will travel to 43 cities over the course of three months, starting in East Rutherford, New Jersey on August 10.

In addition to Houston, the Jonas Brothers will play in Dallas on August 31, Austin on October 17, and San Antonio on October 18.

The tour will be a full-circle celebration of the band's 20-year journey from performing in malls to headlining the biggest stadiums in the world.

Each night will have dedicated sets from every chapter of Jonas, including Nick Jonas & the Administration, Nick Jonas’ solo career, Joe Jonas’ solo work, and DNCE, followed by the headlining performance from the Jonas Brothers.

The tour will start off with 10 straight concerts in football and baseball stadiums, including Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX, at which they'll be joined by special guest Marshmello. The Arlington concert will also feature the band Boys Like Girls.

The tour will transition to basketball arenas for the majority of the dates, with Boys Like Girls and The All-American Rejects serving as opening acts in select cities.

The group released their first single, "Mandy," in 2005 ahead of their 2006 self-titled debut album. They've released six albums in their career, most recently The Album in 2023. They hold the RodeoHouston attendance record thanks to a 2024 concert that drew 75,600 fans.

Although no new album has been announced, they recently released a new single, “Love Me To Heaven.”

Fans can sign up for the Artist Presale through Wednesday, March 26 at 9 am CT at livemu.sc/jonasbrothers. The Artist Presale will run on Thursday, March 27 from 10 am to 3 pm.

Movie Review

Over-the-top thriller The Housemaid revels in camp, chaos, and excess

Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney in The Housemaid.

Both Amanda Seyfried (the upcoming The Testament of Ann Lee) and Sydney Sweeney (Christy) are starring in movies with Oscar ambitions this year. By sheer coincidence, the two actors are also co-starring in The Housemaid, a thriller coming out within weeks of their more ambitious works, one that is likely to be seen by many more people than those prestige plays.

Sweeney is given top billing as Millie, a down-on-her-luck ex-convict looking to land any type of job so as not to break her parole. She finds a too-good-to-be-true lifeboat with Nina (Seyfried), who hires her to be a housemaid for her large house on Long Island, where she lives with her husband, Andrew (Brandon Sklenar), and daughter, Cecilia (Indiana Elle).

After a warm interview, Nina almost immediately becomes highly erratic, whipping back-and-forth between happy-go-lucky and rageful. It seems clear that Nina is suffering from mental health issues, as she’ll often accuse Millie of misplacing or stealing items that she didn’t take. Andrew, apparently used to Nina’s tirades, tries to protect Millie from the worst, something that grows increasingly difficult as Nina ups the ante.

Directed by Paul Feig (A Simple Favor) and adapted by Rebecca Sonnenshine from the bestselling book by Freida McFadden, the film is likely the trashiest mainstream movie to come out in 2025. The first half of the movie relies not on story but on moments as Nina embodies the word “hysterical” to an unbelievable extent. The resigned acceptance of the abuse by Millie, as well as the saintly patience of Andrew, make almost every scene laughable, as nobody seems to be acting anywhere close to how a person would normally react to such extreme situations.

The scenes and the performance of Seyfried are so over-the-top, in fact, that it’s clear that the filmmakers are in on the joke. It’s next to impossible not to have a little bit of fun while watching the actors react to outrageous incidents as if nothing is out of the ordinary. The worse Nina acts, the more Millie and Andrew retreat into their chosen roles, and the funnier the film becomes.

Fans of the book will know that the story changes course, eventually turning into a more stereotypical thriller that also has some relatively gnarly visuals to offer. But the trashiness continues, with Sweeney’s, um, assets repeatedly on display in both clothed and unclothed ways. The sex appeal of the R-rated movie makes it an outlier, as recent studio films have shied away from asking their big stars to disrobe completely.

Both Seyfried and Sweeney are far from their Oscar hopeful roles here. Seyfried is given free rein to act as brazenly as she pleases, and she takes full advantage of that ability. Sweeney seems to have been told to be much more reserved, and unfortunately that results in too many wooden line readings. Sklenar continues his breakout streak (It Ends with Us, Drop) with a role that allows him to show more range than either Seyfried or Sweeney.

The Housemaid is an unusual type of movie to be released at a time of year when most films are either those aiming for awards or more family-friendly fare. Despite its many flaws, it’s still an enjoyable watch that features a variety of crazy scenarios not typically seen in movies nowadays.
