Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas Reunite for Camp Rock Nostalgia

Fans witnessed a nostalgic Camp Rock moment as Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas reunited on stage during the Jonas Brothers’ JONAS20 tour opener. The surprise performance at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey brought back memories of the Disney hit that shaped a generation.

A Memorable Tour Kickoff

On Sunday, August 10, Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas launched their 20th anniversary tour in their home state. The crowd at MetLife Stadium expected a celebration of two decades of Jonas Brothers’ music. However, no one anticipated a reunion with their Camp Rock co-star, Demi Lovato.

The energy shifted when Joe began singing “Gotta Find You,” his signature song from the 2008 Disney movie. Midway through, he introduced Lovato, who played Mitchie Torres in the film. The stadium erupted in cheers as she walked on stage.

Revisiting Disney Days

Joe and Demi, who played onscreen love interests and briefly dated in 2010, performed “This Is Me” and “Wouldn’t Change a Thing” together. These songs, fan favorites from Camp Rock, took the audience back to the days when Disney Channel musicals ruled teen pop culture.

Before diving into “This Is Me,” Joe added a few lines from “Gotta Find You.” He reminded fans they hadn’t performed the track together for “almost 10 years,” while Lovato suggested it had been “even longer.”

The Brothers’ Movie Connection

Kevin and Nick Jonas, who also starred in Camp Rock as Jason and Nate from the fictional band Connect Three, joined the tribute with their own reflections. Nick shared that producers initially wanted Joe in the film, but their father found a way to get him and Kevin involved.

“I think it’s time we all walk down memory lane to celebrate a little movie called Camp Rock,” Nick told the crowd, setting the stage for the heartfelt performance.

Social Media Buzz

Lovato’s husband, Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, shared the reunion online. Posting a clip of Demi stepping onto the stage, he wrote, “Couldn’t be more proud … I love you so much, baby.”

Both Joe and Demi leaned into the nostalgia on Instagram. They lip-synced to “Wouldn’t Change a Thing” and even recreated a viral moment from fellow Disney alum Debby Ryan’s “Sat Down with the President of Disney Channel” speech. Demi captioned her post, “For the history books @joejonas.”

A Night of Surprises

The surprises didn’t end with Lovato. The Jonas Brothers invited their family members on stage later in the night. Their parents, Kevin Jonas Sr. and Denise Jonas, appeared alongside their younger brother Frankie, Kevin’s wife Danielle, and the couple’s daughters Valentina, 8, and Alena, 11.

Together, they performed the band’s 2007 ballad “When You Look Me in the Eyes,” making the night feel like both a concert and a family celebration.

Looking Back and Ahead

The brothers recently discussed the JONAS20 tour during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Kevin admitted that creating the setlist was a challenge because of their extensive catalog.

“There’s so much music to play,” Kevin explained. “The setlist is hard to build, but it’s fun because we get to take breaks and admire each other’s work.”

Joe lightened the mood, joking that the breaks were “mostly for pee breaks.”

Why This Reunion Matters to Fans

The Camp Rock reunion was more than just a musical performance — it was a cultural callback. For fans who grew up watching the Disney movie, seeing Joe and Demi sing together again felt like revisiting their teenage years.

Social media lit up with clips and fan reactions, with many calling it the highlight of the JONAS20 opener. For younger fans discovering Camp Rock for the first time, the performance added a layer of history to the Jonas Brothers’ already celebrated career.

The reunion underscored the band’s ability to connect past and present, making the tour not only a celebration of their music but also of the friendships and collaborations that shaped their journey.
