“The Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009” presented by Burger King, kicks off June 20 in Dallas at the new Cowboys Stadium and will feature new music from the scheduled June 15 worldwide release of their Hollywood Records album The Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009. The tour will present the band’s most ambitious production yet and will include a massive 140-foot-plus stage centered in the arena. This aims to give a larger number of Jonas Brothers fans a closer, more interactive live concert than they’ve experienced ever before.

The performance 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, along with other surprises that will bring the tour to the next level of concert entertainment.

“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.”

Jason Garner, chief executive officer of Global Music at Live Nation, said, “The Jonas Brothers are a worldwide phenomenon. In 2008, their global tour included 113 concerts and drew nearly 1.2 million fans. The band now is 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.”

Cindy Syracuse, senior director of cultural marketing for Burger King Corp., said, “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. We’ll be announcing plans for the ultimate HAVE IT YOUR WAY Jonas Brothers 2009 experience in support of the tour over the next few months.”
