Despite bad weather, the 2024 Houston Rodeo went on Friday night (March 15) with the Jonas Brothers setting a new record.
The Jonas Brothers Breaks Record
A social media announcement from the rodeo said that the Jonas Brothers broke the previous record for paid attendance at NRG Park in Houston, drawing 75,600 fans to their performance.
According to local CBS affiliate KHOU 11, Los Tigres del Norte previously held the record when they sold 75,595 tickets for their performance on Go Tejano Day earlier in the 2024 Houston Rodeo.
Five additional tickets sold for the Jonas Brothers appearance pushed them to the new record.
Every year, the rodeo features artists from a wide range of genres, including pop acts like the Jonas Brothers, but country music fans have a particularly strong presence at the show.
Garth Brooks' Cover
To please the country fans in the crowd, the Jonas Brothers covered Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places" during their set.
The group, which had not performed at the rodeo since 2009, gave a career-spanning performance that mixed older songs like "S.O.S." and "Year 3000" with more recent songs like "Waffle House" and "Celebrate!"
Though the JoBros have often identified more with contemporary and pop-country music than with vintage throwbacks, they are no strangers to country music. They previously collaborated with Kelsea Ballerini in a duet at the 2016 ACM Awards. Recently, they performed a duet with Bailey Zimmerman.
