The Jonas Brothers delivered a high-energy, albeit short, performance at the NFL halftime show in Melbourne on Friday.
Taking to the stage at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the US trio played snippets of all their hits across the six-minute show, including “Burnin’ Up,” “Sucker,” “Listen When Sad,” and “Year 3000.”
But the set really picked up when the Jonas Brothers took on the nation’s unofficial national anthem, John Farnham’s “You’re the Voice,” which the reported 100,000 in attendance ate up.

“We couldn’t be more excited to perform at halftime during the NFL’s first-ever regular season game in Australia,” the Jonas Brothers said ahead of the performance and match between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers.
“Playing at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in front of such passionate Australian fans is an incredible honour. We can’t wait to be part of this historic moment and celebrate with everyone in the stadium and watching around the world.”
“Bringing the first-ever NFL regular season game to Australia is a landmark moment for the league, and we are committed to creating an entertainment experience that reflects the scale and significance of the occasion,” added Tim Tubito, senior director of global game presentation and entertainment at the NFL. “The Jonas Brothers are global entertainers whose music connects across generations, making them the ideal artists to help us celebrate this historic game in Melbourne. We look forward to delivering a memorable halftime performance for our fans in Australia and those watching around the world.”
Peking Duk, Grinspoon, and Sneaky Sound System are among the Australian acts who will also perform throughout the festivities at the MCG.
