The WNBA continues to experience significant growth in popularity, and the Jonas Brothers have unexpectedly become victims of the league\u2019s success.<\/p>\n
Mercury playoff run creates scheduling conflict<\/p>\n
The sibling pop rock band were set to perform at PHX Arena<\/a> in Phoenix on Sunday, Sept. 28, but the WNBA\u2019s Phoenix Mercury threw a major wrench in those plans.<\/p>\n The Mercury, currently in the middle of the WNBA playoffs<\/a>, secured a dramatic comeback victory over the Minnesota Lynx in Game 2 of the semifinals. That win guaranteed Phoenix back-to-back home games at PHX Arena, with the second game now scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 28.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Jonas Brothers concert pushed back<\/p>\n The result created a direct scheduling clash with the Jonas Brothers concert. This time, it is the Mercury, tenants at PHX Arena since 1997, who are being prioritized, a shift from years past. The concert has been moved to Monday, Sept. 29, still at the same venue.<\/p>\n Fans celebrate women\u2019s basketball moment<\/p>\n The Jonas Brothers themselves don\u2019t appear upset, at least publicly. They even posted a congratulatory message to the Mercury on social media.<\/p>\n But some fans, especially WNBA supporters, are relishing the change, seeing it as another sign that women\u2019s basketball is now a bigger draw in the sports and entertainment landscape.<\/p>\n The Jonas brothers moved their concert to Monday instead of Sunday in Phoenix due to the Mercury playoff game.<\/p>\n Sorry Jonas Brothers we still got WNBA hoops to play \ud83d\udd25 pic.twitter.com\/bytbBdEZ1t<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Just Women\u2019s Sports (@justwsports) September 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n K<\/p>\n I get being mad or disappointed but some of y\u2019all are throwing tantrums and being disrespectful towards the W. So now y\u2019all are having WNBA fans coming at you\u2026for a JBros concert\u2026that is rescheduled for the next day. They aren\u2019t worth all that https:\/\/t.co\/0OLEN4uX3z<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ~ Julia |Rawwrrr| ~ (@MindRawr13) September 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n wnba fans bullying jonas brothers fans is absolutely frying me<\/p>\n \u2014 is commissioner ella the drama? (@fromhalfcourt_) September 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n The Jonas brothers have had to downsize arena\u2019s btw. The WNBA has had to play in larger venues due to growing fan bases. Don\u2019t get brave. \u2014 tay defender #1 (@defender_tay) September 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Had no idea the Jonas Brothers had fans mobilizing like this in the year 2025<\/p>\n \u2014 christan (no i), \u00df (@ChristanWNBA) September 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n The Jonas brothers rescheduling their Phoenix show for a basketball game is so dumb. Their show has been scheduled for months & suddenly this game dictates when they can preform? Insane.<\/p>\n \u2014 Summer (@bigtimesummer) September 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n crazy that jonas brothers fans have time to worry about wnba ticket sales when they should have their hands full with all the cheap nostalgia bait projects they’re shovelling out to recuperate the costs from joe’s failed smear campaign against sophie turner https:\/\/t.co\/O8Bjp9rN4D<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 \ud83d\udc27 (@MlTCHELLY) September 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Many complaints from Jonas Brothers fans<\/a> were logistics-related, with concertgoers angrily questioning how the show could be moved on such short notice, disrupting travel plans and time off work.<\/p>\n Some of the bands\u2019 followers were, however, happy to give a little bit back. <\/p>\n Why are people so shocked the Jonas Brothers have fans and that they are upset by this? This is a sold out show of 18k+ people, being completely changed four days before the concert. If you are a fan of a basketball team why can\u2019t we be a fan of a band. https:\/\/t.co\/Et40pkoGp1<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jonas Brothers Daily News \ud83d\udc9b (@Jonas_DailyNews) September 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Cancel a concert that a majority of women go to and have planned for months?
