Fans got twice the Jonas they expected at the amfAR Cannes Film festival Gala on Thursday (May 23). Midway through his scheduled set at the event, Nick Jonas asked the esteemed crowd to welcome a special guest: the elder brother Joe Jonaswho joined him for a performance of DNCE's “Cake by the Ocean.”
In a clip from the concert, the Jonas Brothers bandmates walk side-by-side down the stage catwalk while Nick plays guitar as Joe passionately sings lead vocals. The latter's band with Jack Lawless and JinJoo Lee reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the funk-pop hit in 2015.
Moments before taking the stage with his brother, Joe enjoyed Nick's set in the audience with Diplo. Later, the “Where Are U Now” DJ posted a video on Instagram moment when the “Jealous” singer said, “Joe, where are you?”, prompting the elder Jonas to grab a microphone from Diplo's hand and join in.
Both brothers looked dapper in dapper white suits, Joe wearing a black ribbon around his collar and Nick opting for a more traditional bow tie.
The concert comes amid the Jonas Brothers' ongoing tour with older brother Kevin. However, earlier this month the trio were forced to postpone a handful of shows in Mexico due to Nick's health issues.
“Hey guys. I've come down with the nasty strain of flu-A that's been going around and I'm unable to sing right now,” she wrote in a statement at the time. “We always want to be able to give you the best show and we just can't I can do it for these shows in Mexico right now.”
The world tour, which runs until mid-October, supports the Jo Bros' latest album, The album, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in May of last year. In July, they released a single with K-pop boy group TOMORROW X TOGETHER titled “Do It Like That,” which they followed in November with “Strong Enough” featuring Bailey Zimmerman.
