The Jonas Brothers will reunite for one show October 1st at Radio City Music Hall in New York, reports RyanSeacrest.com. "We know it's time to come back and do another album . . . It's time, we need to be back on the road together," said Kevin Jonas. "We've been making some really good music that we feel like we're ready to play and we just can't wait to see the fans."

Nick Jonas revealed the band will play new music at the show, but said the group is also focused on "being creative with how [they] can sort of remix" their older work.

Although the Radio City gig is the band's only show this year, Joe Jonas says the brothers are eager to play "as many shows as [they] can" down the road.

The Jonas Brothers have been on hiatus since a world tour in 2010 while they pursue various individual projects. The last album they worked on together, the soundtrack to Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, came out the same year. Tickets for the Radio City show go on sale August 24th at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.

Song Stories

“1999”

Prince | 1982

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
