Want to get noticed by Joe Jonas at a Jonas Brothers concert? It might be easier than you think.

The musician, 36, confirmed in a recent interview with SiriusXM Hits 1 Miami with Mack & Jen that he often reads the signs held up by fans — including the PG-13 ones — while performing with his brothers, Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas.

While he does his best not to get the PG-13 ones on film, he’s not bothered by them.

“I think it’s fun. I think at the end of the day, like you’re going to a concert, if you get creative, have some fun with it,” he said.

The “Cake by the Ocean” singer said he began scanning the audience’s signs when the musicians started taking song requests from the crowd.

 

“We do a section of the show, I think it’s about four songs in, where they get to dictate what we play,” he said. “And so we like to hear a reason why, and we get to know the audience. But… So for the first few songs, I’m just scanning reading signs, being like, ‘Okay.’ “

When asked if he loses concentration during the process, he admitted that he does, noting, “You’ll see me laughing.”

Nick, 33, confirmed his statement, picking Joe as the band member who is “easily distracted while on stage.”

The Jonas Brothers are in the middle of the Jonas20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour, which kicked off on Aug. 10 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Throughout its run, the siblings have invited several fellow musicians to surprise fans in different cities. Guests who have performed on the tour include Demi Lovato, Fifth Harmony, Jesse McCartney, JoJo, Plain White T’s, Hanson, and All Time Low.

As the Jonas Brothers continue to celebrate their 20th anniversary, Joe couldn’t be prouder to get to do what he loves.

“Twenty years in now, still being able to do what we love for a living and have so many supportive fans and people that show up for these shows and listen to our new music and stuff, it’s why it keeps us doing what we do,” Joe said in June.

“I wake up every morning, [and] I’m ready,” Joe continued. “I get to do what I love for a living, so I’m happy to keep it going.”
