“We’ve played in the UK a few times before and the response from our fans is always incredible,” says Joe Jonas. “This is our first headlining tour of the country and we’re going to bring everything we’ve got to give our fans a concert they won’t forget.”

“Jonas Brothers are a worldwide touring phenomenon whose growth in Europe has been nothing short of explosive,” says Jason Garner, CEO Global Music at Live Nation. “The band has already sold out their upcoming arena appearances in Madrid, Paris and London and with a new CD and movie, an upcoming television show and a book coming out soon, this tour is anticipated to be one of the highlights of the year.”
