The Jonas Brothers Require This Surprising Food in Their Dressing Room
The Jonas Brothers are suckers for some pre-concert snacks.
Joe Jonas recently revealed what he and brothers Kevin Jonas and Nick Jonas always have mandated to be stocked in their dressing rooms while on tour as part of the rider in their contracts.
"This is nostalgic for us," Joe told Eater in a clip published Aug. 15., "but we all have, in our separate dressing rooms, ants on a log."
He then described the kids lunchbox delicacy, "which is celery, usually peanut butter—but, almond butter—with raisins on top."
However, Joe knows it's all about balance of "healthy and unhealthy snacks," as he noted he also requires "a pretty good coffee set-up" as well as a "bottle of 1942 Tequila" and "some Coors Lights” at the ready.
Kevin, on the other hand, makes sure to think about daughters Alena, 11, and Valentina, 8—who he shares with wife Danielle Jonas—when making his list.
"I always have things for my entire family,” he said, "so anytime that they show up I can make sure there's food."
And for Kevin, there's one healthy snack he always keeps on hand these days—a different choice than he would have made at the band's inception 20 years ago.
"I always have hummus now," he added, "and a vegetable plate."
Indeed, the brothers have to fuel up for their big performances on the Greetings From Your Hometown tour, and their opening night at MetLife Stadium proved to one to remember as they welcomed surprise appearances from Demi Lovato and Jesse McCartney.
And for their very special guests, singing alongside the Jonas Brothers meant the world.
"I'm really grateful the Jonas Brothers asked me to join them for their opening show at MetLife Stadium," Jesse told E! News Aug. 12. "It was a humble gesture of them to acknowledge me as the first artist to take them on tour (2005 Beautiful Soul tour) and very emotional for me to reunite with them, like long lost brothers."
Demi echoed the sentiment, sharing on a podcast that "every second of it was so great."
"Seeing everyone and the reactions and everything just, like, filled my soul with warmth and love," Demi, 32, said on Chicks in the Office the same day. "It was incredible."

The group breaks up. In 2016, Nick said on Watch What Happens Live, "It was a very tough conversation, and it left the family kind of shaken up for a little while. I mean we were about to start a tour. We were two days from starting a tour...We're good now. I have a beautiful niece. My brother has a family. Joe's band DNCE is doing very well. It's good for everybody and it's good that it happened because I think we all grew from it, but it was very challenging for a little while."
The brothers may have broken up as a musical trio, but they're still family! Come on.
