The Jonas Brothers are pop stars, movie and TV veterans and generational heartthrobs. But, first and foremost, they are girl dads. Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas dropped by The Tonight Show on Thursday night (Aug. 7) to talk about their upcoming 20th anniversary tour and new album, Greetings From Your Hometown. But their first order of business was geeking out with host Jimmy Fallon about the wonders of having daughters.

“I’m just buying so many clothes,” said Nick, father of three-and-a-half-year-old Malti Marie Chopra Jonas when Fallon asked if the siblings find themselves doing anything they never thought they would for the love of their daughters. “It’s ridiculous… I order them, and then I forget that I ordered them and the packages arrive at the house and I’m like, ‘Who ordered all these clothes for the baby!?,’” Nick joked.

Kevin admitted that his two daughters with wife Danielle are firmly in their “Labubu phase,” with one of the girls dead-set on finding the rarest versions of the viral plushie that has sent parents on crazed journeys to secure the adorably ugly dolls for their kids. His other daughter, luckily, is merely obsessed with Stitch from Disney’s Lilo & Stitch.

Meanwhile Joe — who has the birth dates of his two daughters with ex-wife Sophie Turner prominently tattooed on his upper chest — calmly revealed that he now knows “every single princess and unicorn.”

The trio also talked about pulling together the set list for their upcoming 20th anniversary tour, with Nick admitting that “it’s basically impossible to summarize a 20-year journey with music” in just two-and-a-half hours. With so many songs they want to spotlight, as well as some they can’t play live, Nick said the show they’ve come up with “really represents the journey we’ve been on” and the songs that are relevant to them.

The JoBros also gamely suited up for a “Hot Wizard Hotline” bit with Fallon, in which they tapped into the romantasy trend via their throwback VHS-era erotic chat line commercial starring Joe as Gavaniel the Lewd, Nick as Grimblegoth the Naughty and Kevin as Gwyngelvin the Firm. In addition to raising a glass of champagne to toast their new album and tour, the brothers celebrated with one of their favorite backstage tour rider must-haves: ants on a log with almond butter (no raisins for Kevin, though).

The Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown tour kicks off on Sunday (Aug. 10) in the siblings’ home state of New Jersey at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford with guests the All-American Rejects and Marshmello.

The New York Mets will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Beatles‘ landmark performance at Shea Stadium on Beatles Night at Citi Field on Aug. 15. During the game against the Seattle Mariners, the team will honor the 1965 performance, which at the time was the first rock show at a major U.S. stadium, according to the Associated Press.

The old Shea Stadium — which opened a year before in 1964 — was home to the Mets and the New York Jets before being torn down in 2009 to make way for Citi Field. The landmark show by Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr was chronicled in the 50-minute documentary The Beatles at Shea Stadium.

Next week’s celebration will kick off with a performance by 1964 The Tribute band in front of the Shea Bridge at 6:15 p.m. ET, with the first 15,000 fans entering Citi Field getting an exclusive mini Shea Stadium replica. In addition, there will be a fireworks display cued to the Beatles’ music after the game and the first pitch will be thrown out by members of the gameday staff who worked the Aug. 15, 1965 concert.

According to Setlist.fm, the Beatles’ 12-song Shea Stadium set for 55,000 screaming fans opened with “Twist and Shout” and included performances of “She’s a Woman,” “I Feel Fine,” “Dizzy, Miss Lizzy,” “Ticket to Ride,” “Everybody’s Tryin’ to Be My Baby,” “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Baby’s in Black,” “Act Naturally,” “A Hard Day’s Night,” “Help!” and “I’m Down.”

Australian hip-hop veterans Hilltop Hoods land their seventh No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart as Fall From the Light debuts atop the list. The set marks the Adelaide trio’s ninth studio album, first in six years, and their sixth consecutive debut at No. 1.

With this latest feat, Hilltop Hoods extend their record for the most No. 1 albums by any Australian group. The winners of 10 ARIA Awards previously reached the summit with The Hard Road (2006), State of the Art (2009), Drinking From the Sun (2012), Walking Under Stars (2014), Drinking From the Sun, Walking Under Stars Restrung (2016) and The Great Expanse (2019).

ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd said: “From suburban Adelaide to local and international success, Hilltop Hoods are an inspiration and a testament to the power and passion of Australian music. Seven No. 1 albums is a truly incredible achievement and something we should all be very proud of. A massive congratulations to Suffa, Pressure and DJ Debris from everyone at ARIA. 

“Hilltop Hoods and the other Aussies who have topped the ARIA albums chart so far in 2025 – Ball Park Music, Bliss n Eno, Jimmy Barnes and Calum Hood – are fantastic examples of the creativity, diversity and success of the local music industry.”

The top five on this week’s ARIA Albums Chart is rounded out by the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack (No. 2), Reneé Rapp’s Bite Me (No. 3), Alex Warren’s You’ll Be Alright, Kid (No. 4) and Ed Sheeran’s +=÷x (Tour Collection) (No. 5).

Three more Australian acts debut in the top 40 this week. Perth singer-songwriter Darcie Haven starts at No. 11 with her second EP Angel of the Apocalypse, ahead of a national headline tour. The Vanns arrive at No. 27 with their third album All That’s In My Head, and veteran rocker Swanee — older brother of Jimmy Barnes — bows at No. 37 with Believe.

Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, “Golden” from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack spends a second week at No. 1. Tracks from the album dominate half of the top 10, including “Your Idol” (No. 5), “Soda Pop” (No. 6), “How It’s Done” (No. 8) and “What It Sounds Like” (No. 10).

Chappell Roan claims the week’s highest debut with “The Subway” at No. 4, scoring her fifth top 20 single in Australia. Elsewhere, New York rapper Sombr jumps from No. 59 to No. 23 with “12 To 12,” his third top 30 hit of the year following “Undressed” (No. 2 in May) and “Back To Friends” (No. 3 in May).

As actor Chris Hemsworth prepares to share his story of being a budding percussionist, drummer Ben Gordon has discussed Hemsworth’s latest role – astute music student.

Close to a year ago, Hemsworth made a surprise appearance at an Ed Sheeran concert in Bucharest, Romancia, playing drums alongside the British pop star despite having no prior experience.

The unexpected cameo from the God of Thunder turned out to be part of Hemsworth’s Limitless series with National Geographic, which finds him pursuing ways to strengthen his mind and body through extreme measures. 

In the lead up to the new season’s premiere on Aug. 15, Ben Gordon, the drummer of Australian metal outfit Parkway Drive, has opened up about the experience of teaching the Hollywood actor.

“It was good fun, actually,” Gordon told Australia’s Today Extra on Wednesday (Aug. 6).
“I’ve been friends with Chris for about seven, eight years now. We met from a mutual friend when he moved to Byron [Bay], and we’ve been mates ever since. 

“So when he got challenged by Ed Sheeran to learn the drums for Limitless, I guess I was the obvious choice to call because, I guess, I’m his only friend who’s a professional drummer. So he gave me a call and asked if I would help out.”

According to Gordon, he had originally expected his involvement to be restricted to a behind-the-scenes role, though the teaching process was ultimately captured and utilized in the final cut.

When asked by hosts David Campbell and Sylvia Jeffreys as to whether Hemsworth is “any good” as a percussionist, Gordon was quick to answer in the negative.

“When he first came to me, he was really bad,” Gordon explains. “I have a lot of admiration for him because the whole premise of the episode was him finding something that he wasn’t gifted at, which was quite hard because he’s very talented in many areas, and diving into something that he finds uncomfortable. 

“No one in the world is good at everything, even Chris Hemsworth, so he found something he’s not good at, which was the drums,” he added. “He was a complete novice. He had no idea about it. He had no rhythm. But that was kind of the challenge and that’s what makes the episode fun.”

Parkway Drive first formed in the coastal New South Wales town of Byron Bay in 2003, issuing their debut album two years later. They received their first top ten album in Australia with 2007’s Horizons, which also hit No. 27 on the Top Heatseekers charts. 2010’s Deep Blue launched a four-record run which saw the group consecutively charting within the top 40 of the Billboard 200, with 2015’s Ire resulting in a peak of No. 29. 

Alongside becoming their first release to top the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, Ire also was their first of three consecutive records to top the Australian charts. “Sacred” is Parkway Drive’s first release since their 2022 album Darker Still, which saw them receive their third ARIA Award for best hard rock or heavy metal album.
