UPDATE: Due to overwhelming fan demand, the Jonas Brothers are adding a second show at Toyota Center on Monday, October 23. That means they will now perform in Houston on Saturday, October 7 and Monday, October 23.

The band has also added a second show at Moody Center in Austin on Sunday, October 22.

This headline has been updated to reflect the news on Thursday, July 27.

-----

The Jonas Brothers are launching their most ambitious tour yet, dubbed simply "The Tour," which will include a stop here at Toyota Center on Saturday, October 7.

On the massive 35-date stadium and arena run, starting on August 12 in The Bronx, New York, and finishing in Miami on October 14, the band will perform five albums every night. In addition to Houston, the JoBros will go to Arlington on August 30, Austin on September 3, and San Antonio on October 5.

The sibling trio and band is touting in support of their latest album, The Album, set for release on Friday, May 12. Although the press release about the tour does not specify which five of their six albums the Jonas Brothers will be performing at each concert, odds are that they will be the last five, as their 2006 debut album is by far their lowest-selling release to date.

As tickets for The Tour will likely be in high demand, the band will once again be using Ticketmaster's Verified Fan presale to give fans their best shot at tickets. Fans can register for the presale now through Saturday, May 6 at 10:59 pm. Fans who are selected to receive an access code will be able to participate in the Verified Fan presale starting Tuesday, May 9.

Citi cardmembers and Verizon customers will have additional presales beginning on Wednesday, May 10, with other presales running throughout the week. A limited number of tickets will be available during the general onsale which begins on Friday, May 12 at 10 am.

The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences, with packages including premium reserved tickets, invitation to the pre-show VIP Lounge, specially designed Jonas Brothers VIP gift items, and more.

teamwork makes the dream work

Arizona-based interactive venue opens in Houston with 24 challenges

Physical and mental tasks are part of the fun at Bam Kazam.

Houston's live action arcade boom continues with the opening of Bam Kazam, a massive new challenge room facility located in the former Railway Heights Market space in Lazybrook/Timbergrove (8200 Washington). Opening this Saturday, September 12, it is the company's third location since starting in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2021 and the first one in Texas.

Catering to adults, the idea of Bam Kazam is to roleplay big budget cinematic adventures like solving puzzles in ancient tombs or being part of a heist. The facility contains 24 different levels across 25,000 square foot of space. Players are given up to two hours to complete rooms, with most rooms requiring between 1-5 minutes. Teamwork is key to succeeding.

“If you’ve ever watched an action movie and thought, ‘I could do that,’ well come find out,” Bam Kazam founder Victor Blake said in a statement. “Bring the friend who thinks they’re the brains and the one who thinks they’re the athlete. You’re going to need each other.”

Rooms in the Houston location include Rat Trap, where players navigate through a giant mousetrap to avoid an equally giant cat; a Cat Burglar scenario that involves rope walks to steal a priceless painting; and a ruined city full of logic puzzles inspired by the Indiana Jones franchise.

Tickets for Bam Kazam are $39 per player with a three-player minimum per team. Every possible room is available with a ticket, and players have unlimited tries per room to solve them. Tickets are half-off ($19.50) during opening weekend when purchased through the website.

Houston has been enjoying a boom in live-action themed gaming since the end of COVID. Sandbox VR opened earlier this year, following Activate debuting in the city in 2023 and the Department of Wonder in 2022.
