After two decades in the spotlight, the Jonas Brothers are still chasing butterflies.

Joe, Kevin and Nick Jonas are releasing their sixth studio record ā€œThe Albumā€ on Friday, before embarking on an U.S. tour in August. Nick says the band of brothers are putting themselves in new positions so they can feel ā€œbutterflies and excitementā€ before stepping onstage.

One of those butterfly moments will come when the trio kicks off their tour at Yankee Stadium on Aug. 12.

ā€œItā€™s our favorite baseball teamā€™s stadium for our entire lives,ā€ Nick says. ā€œWe got to go and kind of go to a game and meet some of the players about a month ago. And we were just looking around, thinking the 10-year-old version of us that was sitting up in the highest nosebleed section seat would not believe that weā€™re going to play this place twice.ā€

All three band members now have young families and Joe says this means the brothers are ā€œquicker to return homeā€ after touring. But that doesnā€™t mean that they are any less excited about hitting the road.

ā€œWeā€™re treating this like the best tour weā€™ve ever done. And I think, we intend to make it that experience for fans as well,ā€ Joe says.

Theyā€™re also looking forward to hanging out as brothers too, with Nick saying that touring ā€œdoesnā€™t feel like work.ā€

The tour will criss-cross the U.S. from mid-August until October, with the trio being ultra careful to avoid burnout. The bandā€™s physical and mental health is a priority, says Joe, who believes they can look after themselves and have ā€œa blast while doing it.ā€

ā€œWeā€™ve been burnt out before and then youā€™re like, ā€˜I still got 20 more shows on this tour,ā€™ā€ he says. ā€œSo we all have our own perspective ways of going about that, and we just make sure that thatā€™s prioritized and also that we think the three of us are communicating as best as we can.ā€

The brothers have set aside a period for family after the release and promo duties for ā€œThe Album,ā€ before gearing up to tour in August.
