Will the Jonas Brothers make music history with a record-breaking Roblox concert?
The Jonas Brothers are poised to host a sp-egg-tacular – and potentially record-breaking – gig inside the hugely popular Roblox game “Steal an Egg”.
The boys from New Jersey, USA, will take to the virtual stage on Saturday 31 October for a Halloween celebration unlike any other. Not only will they be performing in the virtual space, they'll be attempting to smash the Guinness World Records title for the largest concert in a videogame by a single artist.
Their hope is to bring music fans and gamers together from around the globe to beat the current record of 12,862,161 concurrent viewers, achieved by Bruno Mars (USA) in the Roblox game "Steal a Brainrot" earlier this year.
Wanna be part of it? Just get yourself over to Roblox and join “Steal an Egg” on Saturday. You won’t even have to leave the comfort of your gaming chair!
“Steal an Egg” is one of the many experiences available on Roblox, the online gaming platform where millions of players create, explore and share virtual worlds.
In the game – currently the most popular title in Roblox – players collect, hatch and steal eggs, building up their collections while trying to protect their precious prizes from other players.

But on Halloween, the usual egg-stealing antics will tale a back seat as the Jonas Brothers take centre stage for what they hope will be the biggest ever in-game gig.
Excitement has been building for days, with mysterious clues, special tickets and tantalizing teasers appearing inside the game.
Developers have been promising the “WORLD’S BIGGEST CONCERT REVEAL”, keeping the identity of the performers under wraps until today’s special announcement.
And what a choice! They could’ve gone with Egg Sheeran or Shellena Gomez, or maybe the more seasoned Eggy Pop or Yolko Ono.
But the final choice was the Jonas Brothers, the record-breaking sensations who first made their appearances in the pages of the Guinness World Records book for the most entries in the US top 20 in a year by a group.
In 2008, the lads had five separate tracks debut in the Top 20 of the US Hot 100 – “Play My Music”, “Pushin’ Me Away”, “Burnin’ Up”, “Tonight” and “A Little Bit Longer” – achieving something that not even The Beatles were able to manage at the peak of their fame.
Within minutes of the news being announced, more than 8.5 million Roblox users clicked "interested" in Steal An Egg Presents: Jonas Brothers LIVE! The Burning Up Tour All Over Again.
So, will they beat the r-egg-ord? Find out by grabbing yourself a virtual ticket and joining the fun on Saturday at 11 a.m. Eastern Time (8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. EST / 3 p.m. GMT / 4 p.m. CET). Let’s get cracking!
