Jonas Brothers perform fan-requested songs in Las Vegas

Jonas Brothers used their May 23 show in Las Vegas to dig into fan-requested material that does not usually anchor a standard greatest-hits set. Clips and setlist posts circulated on X after the show pointed to performances of “How to Write a Song,” “What I Go to School For” and “Just Friends,” giving fans a documented look at a set shaped in part by signs and requests from the room. MGM Resorts had billed the run as a four-night Memorial Day weekend engagement at Dolby Live at Park MGM on May 20, 22, 23 and 24. In its March 6 announcement, MGM said the Las Vegas dates were part of the group’s “Greetings From Your Hometown” live run and that all shows were scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ### Which songs drew the most attention from fans after the May 23 show? May 23 posts from the fan account JonasTourInfo highlighted the three requested songs that drew the strongest reaction online: “How to Write a Song,” “What I Go to School For” and “Just Friends.” Those titles stood out because they sit outside the most predictable run of Jonas Brothers radio staples and Disney-era crowd-pleasers that usually dominate recap clips. (x.com) (newsroom.mgmresorts.com) The social posts helped turn the set into a fan-to-fan story by attaching video evidence to specific requests rather than just a text recap. That gave the May 23 stop a distinct identity within the Las Vegas run, where online conversation centered not only on the venue residency format but on which rarer songs were being pulled into the show. ### Where did this happen, and what was the Las Vegas run? Dolby Live at Park MGM hosted the Las Vegas dates, according to MGM Resorts and Ticketmaster event listings. (x.com) MGM described the booking as a Memorial Day weekend celebration, while Ticketmaster listed the residency branding as “Greetings From Las Vegas.” March 6 materials from MGM said tickets started at $49 before fees and that the shows were tied to the brothers’ broader “Greetings From Your Hometown” tour cycle. (x.com) MGM also said the live production was designed to cover multiple eras of the group and related solo projects from Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas. ### Was fan-requesting already part of this run? Setlist records from the May 22 Las Vegas show indicate fan requests were already part of the format before the May 23 performance. (newsroom.mgmresorts.com) Setlist.fm’s page for the May 22 concert specifically tagged “Hold On” as a fan request and showed a set that mixed Jonas Brothers songs with material from DNCE, Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas. That context matters because it suggests the May 23 rarities were not an isolated one-off. The Las Vegas run appears to have left room for audience-driven selections inside a broader career-spanning show. That structure helps explain why clips of less commonly performed songs moved quickly through fan accounts after the third night. ### Why did the May 23 setlist travel beyond the room? (setlist.fm) X posts from JonasTourInfo gave fans immediate, shareable proof of what was played, and that is often what determines whether a concert moment stays local or spreads. In this case, the combination of recognizable deep cuts and same-night video clips appears to have driven the engagement around the May 23 stop. Setlist aggregation also helped. Setlist.fm already listed consecutive Las Vegas dates on May 20, 22, 23 and 24, making it easier for fans to compare what changed night to night during the run. (setlist.fm) ### What comes next after the fan-requested Las Vegas night? May 24 was scheduled as the fourth and final Jonas Brothers date at Dolby Live in this Las Vegas run, according to MGM Resorts and setlist listings. After that, Setlist.fm’s tour page showed the group’s next listed date as May 29 at Thunder Valley Casino in Lincoln, California. (x.com) (newsroom.mgmresorts.com) (setlist.fm)
