If you're new here, let me tell you about the life of an Australian Jonas Brothers fan — and why this is such a big deal.
1. You first laid eyes on the Jonas Brothers when Girlfriend did us all a favour and included this poster in their magazine.
2. You then immediately began talking about them with your friends and claiming which boy was “yours”.
3. You'd use Limewire to download as many Jonas Brothers songs as you could manage.
4. You would get incredibly jealous of everyone who got to see them open for The Veronicas.
Always good to see my girls @TheVeronicas 😎👯♀️
Obviously the only reason you and Joe weren't madly in love yet was because you couldn't go to this concert and ~accidentally~ run into him backstage.
5. And if you DID get to see them open, you made sure every Aussie Jonas Brothers fan KNEW IT.
6. You found their self-titled album at JB Hi-Fi and raved about how great they were to anyone who would listen.
7. The day you realised you had access to American teen magazines at that random news agency in Stocklands was the day your life (and your mum's wallet) was never the same.
8. When Big W didn’t have Jonas Brothers merch, you were forced to make your own.
9. And you’d go around using Jonas Brothers lingo, even if everyone thought you were crazy.

Because NOBODY IN AUSTRALIA KNEW WHO THEY WERE.
10. You were slightly annoyed when everyone suddenly became obsessed with them after Camp Rock came out.
11. As a loyal fan, you paid up and saw Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert at the movies to catch a glimpse of them.
12. And that experience had you begging your parents to let you go and see them live.
13. While eagerly waiting for their announcement of a world tour, you watched them grow and thrive.
14. Only, instead of hearing the announcement you so desperately wanted, you received news of Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience.
15. Despite your sadness, you pre-booked tickets and sat in the front row of the cinema wearing as much merch as you could gather.
16. You couldn't believe they had the audacity to write a song about Australia and NEVER TOUR here.
17. And you didn't want to believe the rumours that Nick was going solo until the truth was undeniable.
18. Even though you knew it wouldn't be the same, you went and saw Joe when DNCE opened for Selena Gomez.
19. When you heard of their reunion and their promise to tour Australia, it felt like you were right back where you started 12 years ago.
20. For a while you genuinely believed that you might need to travel all the way to Las Vegas to see your favourite songs performed live.
21. But you woke up one morning and discovered that they've FINALLY announced more dates for their world tour — and this time Australia is on the list.
