Video: Jonas Brothers discuss summer tour stage setup at Cowboys Stadium

by Erin Rice

The Jonas Brothers, now a local name since they moved to Westlake last year, will kick off their summer tour on June 20th at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. Today the boys held a press conference at the stadium and previewed the massive stage setup they'll be using along their 51-date tour, of which 29 are already sold out (tickets are still available for the DFW show). Featuring two rotating stages, three moving circular video screens, six lasers, a circular, cascading water feature, and a crap ton of lights, the centrally located stage is doing its best to impress.

The brothers are touring in support of their fourth studio album, Lines, Vines and Trying Timesto be released on June 16, just four days before the tour begins. To reflect songs on the new album, the group will bring along a horn section and pedal steel guitar as part of their (up to) 10-member backing band. Joining them on the U.S. leg of the tour are Jordin Sparks and Honor Society, featuring a former Jonas Brothers band member.

This is no mood AT. I am always this sour. It's called a perpetual hangover.

But you are correct; I was both mad and confussed by the title of the JoBros new album. I will try to keep a lid on my deep anxiety over the issue.

Well, let's analyze it, jtmbls: Lines is probably a reference to their lyrics, their logo appears to have vines, and it's gotta be trying to keep your hair looking like that:

jtmbls, if by "a lot of thought" you mean glancing at their album cover, then sure, I've given it a lot of thought. :)
