Digital News Report- Grammy nominated and platinum-selling recording artists, Jonas Brothers, today announced the dates and cities for “The Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009.” The tour, which will take the band to three continents, will feature new music taken from the June 15 worldwide release of their upcoming Hollywood Records album. “The Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009,” presented by Burger King, kicks off in Dallas at New Cowboys Stadium on June 20 and will take the band throughout the United States and Canada.
In addition to their 44-city North American trek, Jonas Brothers will also play three European dates including recently sold-out shows at Paris’ Zenith Arena and London’s Wembley Arena plus a just-added date at Madrid’s Palacio De Deportes. Additional European shows will be announced soon along with debut tour dates in South America.
On Monday, March 16, Team Jonas fan club members in select cities will have the first opportunity to buy tickets to the summer tour. A pre-sale for CITI card holders in select cities will begin on March 18 through CITI’s PrivatePass program. Tickets for the general public in select cities will be available beginning March 20 and can be purchased at www.livenation.com.
“The Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009” will present the band’s most ambitious production yet and will include a massive 140-foot plus stage centered in the arena that aims to give a larger number of Jonas Brothers fans a closer, more interactive live concert than they’ve ever experienced before. The show will feature cutting edge technology used in a one-of-a-kind circular water screen, multi-color laser effects, motion automated video screens, a giant crane levitating over the audience plus many other surprises.
“This tour is going to be about really connecting with our fans,” says Joe Jonas. “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.”
“The Jonas Brothers are a worldwide phenomenon,” said Jason Garner, Chief Executive Officer of Global Music at Live Nation. “In 2008 their global tour included 113 concerts and drew nearly 1.2 million fans. The band is now more popular than ever — with a new movie, album, TV show and book — and we are optimistic that this summer’s tour attendance will reflect that popularity.”
“As presenting sponsor of the Jonas Brothers’ summer tour for the second year in a row, we’re planning a lot of excitement for Jonas Brothers fans beginning with the first tour stop in Dallas on June 20,” said Cindy Syracuse, senior director, cultural marketing, Burger King Corp.
