MANILA, Philippines—Picking up where they left off in 2010, Jonas Brothers will be performing together for the first time in three years. Their first visit to the Philippines is set at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on October 19 and at the Waterfront Hotel in Cebu on October 20, presented by That’s Ntertainment Productions.

After a three-year hiatus, brothers Nick, Joe and Kevin reunite and perform for their Filipino fans in a concert sashaying a string of pop-rock hits as well as debut some of their new materials from their forthcoming album reported to be released by the end of 2012.

Hailed from Wyckoff, New Jersey, Jonas Brothers have taken over the hearts and bedroom walls of teenage girls everywhere since their 2007 debut. The trio came up with albums offering sets of catchy pop tunes—including their 2007 single from the movie “Meet the Robinsons” titled “Kids of the Future,” which was based from the song “Kids in America” of English pop singer Kim Wilde.

Jonas Brothers also did a remake of the song “Year 3000,” which was originally by pop-punk band Busted and was the trio’s first single to chart and their first Top 40 hit.

‘JoBros,’ as their million fans fondly call them, also released their original pop radio hits like “Hold On”, as the band’s first single from their self-titled second album in 2007. The iTunes Store named this single as number three on their “Best of the Store” Playlist in 2007. Another hit song “SOS” rose to number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the band’s first single to reach the Top 20.

The song “When You Look Me in the Eyes” also consolidated their success and becoming the group’s power ballad. While “Burning Up” cemented the brothers as one of the hottest commodities in the pop music when this single became a hit via digital downloads and the group’s first top five single in the US and highest charting song to date.

Disney Channel’s “Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream” (2008) also featured these brothers as the reality series follows them on their first nationwide tour, giving fans a glimpse of how the guys prepare for concerts—as their life of rockstars. They also headed the big screen in 2008’s Disney Channel Original Movie titled “Camp Rock,” which they starred with Disney’s pop star Demi Lovato and followed up a sequel in 2010’s “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.”

Two excellent songs from the Disney Channel movie were “Camp Rock,” “Gotta Find You” and “This Is Me.” They also released their concert film Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience in 2009.

Despite the brothers’ respite from the stage for three years, brothers Nick, Joe and Kevin have enjoyed successful careers individually since leaving their days being the most culturally important American rock bands of the last decade.

Recently, Joe launched his solo career and is now a judge on the new CW music competition The Next, alongside Nelly, Gloria Estefan and John Rich. Joe was also one of the bachelors looking for love on Fox celebrity dating show The Choice.  Kevin and his wife Danielle are starring in the aptly-titled E! reality series Married to Jonas. Nick, the youngest among the three, stepped into the shoes of J. Pierrepont Finch in Broadway’s “How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.”
The band has released four bouncy, breezy pop-rock album albums have sold over eight million copies worldwide in the albums  “It’s About Time,” “Jonas Brothers,” “A Little Bit Longer” and “Lines, Vines and Trying Times.”

In 2008, the group was nominated for the Best New Artist award at the 51st Grammy Awards, won the award for Breakthrough Artist at the American Music Awards.
