The Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009 Receives Rave Reviews
four horns and two strings ADDED for “fuller, richer and complex” new sound
Tickets Still AVAILABLE for AUGUST 11th SHOW AT JOBING.COM ARENA
(Phoenix, AZ) – The Grammy nominated, and platinum-selling recording artists, Jonas Brothers launched “The Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009” in Dallas on Saturday to a crowd of about 50,000. “The Jonas Brothers offered up roughly 100 minutes of songs from three albums, including the just-released Lines, Vines and Trying Times,” the Dallas Morning News reports, “The stage, three octagons stationed smack in the middle of the stadium floor, provided plenty of room for spectacle, from a cool feature that showered ribbons of water shaped as hearts, letters and strings to a crane that extended Kevin and Joe over the audience.”
“The Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009” is the band’s most ambitious production yet. The massive 140-foot plus stage centered in the arena is “an in-the-round design that creates a plethora of floor seats that are front row (and susceptible to water deluges). The two satellite stages connected by catwalks mean that the band has even more ability to get close to fans in the,” the Ft. Worth Star Telegram adds, “They’ve added horns (four) and strings (two), and their new sound is fuller, richer and complex.”
The tour stops in Glendale for a performance at Jobing.com Arena on Tuesday, August 11. Special guests American Idol winner, 19 Entertainment/Jive Records’ platinum-selling artist and Glendale Favorite, Jordin Sparks, and rising stars, Honor Society will open the 7:30pm show.
