To the surprise of fans worldwide, Fifth Harmony staged an unexpected reunion on August 31, 2025, during the Jonas Brothers’ concert at the Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas, Texas. The performance featured four of the group’s original members—Normani, Dinah Jane, Ally Brooke, and Lauren Jauregui—who delighted attendees with a mash-up of their hit singles “Worth It” and “Work From Home.”
Fifth Harmony’s surprise Dallas reunion electrified fans with a nostalgic performance of their biggest hits.
Camila Cabello, who departed the group in 2016, was noticeably absent from the stage but later showed support through social media, posting four heart emojis in reference to her former bandmates.
The reunion marks a significant milestone for the group that was formed in 2012 during the second season of The X Factor. Originally auditioning as solo artists, the five women were grouped together by judges Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid, Britney Spears, and Demi Lovato.
Following Cabello’s exit, the remaining members continued as a quartet until announcing an indefinite hiatus in March 2018 to pursue individual careers. This hiatus enabled members like Normani to release successful projects such as her debut album Dopamine in 2024.
Data released following the surprise appearance revealed a staggering 665% increase in Spotify searches for Fifth Harmony, demonstrating the enduring appeal of the girl group. The event marked their first performance together in seven years since announcing their hiatus. Streaming platforms reported substantial increases in plays of the group’s back catalog, while newly launched reunion merchandise quickly gained traction among devoted fans.
The performance included background vocals from Cabello’s original recordings, a creative decision that generated mixed reactions from the fanbase.
Industry analysts noted the strategic timing of the group’s recent joining of Weverse, a South Korean online platform that hosts global artists including BTS, Blackpink, Ariana Grande, and Dua Lipa. This digital expansion suggests a deliberate effort to reconnect with international fans and potentially signals more collaborative projects in the future. The group utilized social media advertising to build anticipation after their appearance, posting behind-the-scenes content across multiple platforms.
Music media outlets described the reunion as a highlight of the Jonas Brothers’ tour, with speculation abounding regarding whether this surprise appearance might lead to a more permanent reunion for the influential pop group that shaped 2010s music culture. The group could leverage playlist pitching on various streaming platforms to maximize exposure should they decide to release new music together.
