Jonas Brothers to headline halftime show for NFL season opener in Australia
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) --- The Jonas Brothers will perform at halftime of
the NFL's season opener between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles
Rams at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia.
The NFL announced the headliners for the halftime show Wednesday. The game will
air on Netflix in the U.S. on Sept. 10. The Jonas Brothers will be part of the
entertainment lineup for the league's international schedule this season
involving seven countries and four contents.
"We couldn't be more excited to perform at halftime during the NFL's first-ever
regular season game in Australia," the Jonas Brothers said in a statement.
"Playing at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in front of such passionate
Australian fans is an incredible honor."
The Jonas Brothers --- featuring Nick, Joe and Kevin --- have sold more than 20
million albums and recently landed a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Tim Tubito, the NFL's senior director of global game presentation and
entertainment, said the league's first regular season game in Australia is a
landmark for the NFL.
"The Jonas Brothers are global entertainers whose music connects across
generations, making them the ideal artists to help us celebrate this historic
game in Melbourne," Tubito said. "We look forward to delivering a memorable
halftime performance for our fans in Australia and those watching around the
world."
