Jonas Brothers performing on their 2010 World Tour in September 2010
While announcing Nick Jonas' side-project Nick Jonas and the Administration, the Jonas Brothers announced they were planning a world tour to take place during the summer of 2010.[citation needed]
On April 27, 2010, the band and Lovato officially announced the tour, through their official websites and MySpace pages. The tour featured the band with special guests Lovato and their friends and co-stars from Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. The tour included both songs by the band and songs from the films. The pop group Savvy performed as a supporting act on select dates.[1] The brothers set list also included songs from the soundtrack to their Disney Channel Original Series, Jonas.
The tour began on August 7, 2010, in Illinois. It was originally supposed to begin on July 27, 2010, in Dallas, but was moved back, due to changes in their schedule. Unlike the previous tour, the Jonas Brothers Live in Concert had a simple yet complex stage design. The stage consisted of multiple vertical moving screens that displayed different images or graphics while the brothers played. This concert was not in the round and played mostly in amphitheaters across the country and around the world.
Some of these tour dates have been canceled and changed. The tour started on August 6, 2010, two weeks later than planned, which allowed Nick Jonas to perform in the West End production of Les Misérables as Marius Pontmercy in London. The Tampa, Florida, tour was cancelled due to flash flooding at Tampa's 1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheater. The San Nicolás, Mexico tour was also cancelled. Both shows were not rescheduled.
On November 1, 2010, Demi Lovato was dropped out of the tour after a dispute arose to the public light involving them apparently punching one of the dancers of the tour. After Lovato left, she was interned in a treatment center to seek out help and the tour continued without her until its last show.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
For the second year in a row, the Jonas Brothers held several softball games with their team the "Road Dogs" throughout the tour. The games were part of the "X the TXT" campaign which brings awareness to the dangers of texting while driving. "We’re a part of the "X the Text" campaign with our sponsor Allstate, which is an amazing thing. So many teen drivers and drivers out there have accidents texting while driving, and it's such a [great] thing to bring awareness to this", told Kevin Jonas to MTV.[13]
