Jonas Brothers to tour the world
Pop superstars Jonas Brothers have unveiled a 44-city summertime outing that will canvas the continent behind their upcoming and still-unnamed new album.
"The Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009" kicks off June 20 in Dallas, hitting arenas and stadiums across North America before the August 31 finale in Ottawa, Ontario. The platinum-selling trio will make several detours to select Canadian cities throughout the trek. The full itinerary is below.
Team Jonas fan-club members will have a pre-sale advantage beginning March 16, while ticket sales open to the general public March 20.
The US jaunt comes on the heels of a short South American leg in mid-May, as well as sold-out shows at Paris' Zenith Arena and London's Wembley Arena in June. The band's new Hollywood Records effort will hit shelves worldwide June 15, just in time for the stateside trek.
"This tour is going to be about really connecting with our fans," Joe Jonas said in a prepared statement."We've got new music that's taking us in new directions plus a mind-blowing production that's going to surprise everyone. We want to give the audience the summer concert they're not going to ever forget."
Each show will include a massive, 140-foot stage centered in the arena, allowing for better views throughout the venue. Other ambitious features--such as a one-of-a-kind water screen, laser and automated video effects and a giant crane over the audience--are also expected to wow the mostly female crowd.
The Jonas Brothers' world-tour announcement comes nearly two weeks after the debut of their new Disney movie, "Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience." The pop trio celebrated the new release with moviegoers, jetting around to select US cities and surprising fans with impromptu performances.
