After rocking THON to its core at the BJC, it seems that DNCE doesn’t want to leave State College just yet. The band will take its act downtown to play another show at Champs, switching from an audience of energized, sober THON-goers to a, well, different crowd.

After rumblings of Jonas’ arrival in State College, rumors of the band giving an unannounced performance began to fly. Shortly after being spotted in the BJC, DNCE took the stage and brought the building’s energy up about three or four notches. Playing mainly songs of their debut album, with a medley of covers thrown in, the show did not disappoint, and Twitter reacted accordingly.

The show comes in the middle of DNCE’s tour, just a day after a show Bethlehem. Despite not having any shows lined up until next month in Seoul, South Korea, Joe Jonas did his best to throw off Penn Staters, tweeting earlier in the day that he would be going back to Los Angeles.
