The Jonas Brothers Live In Concert Tour was one of last year's most successful concert tours.

Nick, Kevin and Joe played more diverse set lists than their previous six concert tours, working in songs from the acclaimed Disney Channel movie sequel.

In addition to touring throughout North America, the Jonas Brothers played shows across South America.
Having reached pinnacle success over the past three years, it's hard to think of the Jonas Brothers before superstardom. The phenomenon that is the Jonas Brothers began in the small New Jersey town of Wyckoff. Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas were raised by parents Kevin Sr. (a former pastor and musician) and Denise (a sign language expert and vocalist). The three brothers musical career was born in a barber shop when Nick wowed customers with his harmonizing at age six. Soon the youngest Jonas was lighting up Broadway as Tiny Tim in
A Christmas Carol, Gavroche in
Les Misérables, and Chip in
Beauty and the Beast. Nick soon garnered the attention of various record companies, but a deal didn’t surface initially. It wasn’t until all three brothers auditioned together for Columbia Records that the Jonas Brothers were born!
The Jonas Brothers made their first foray into the movie-making business, appearing in the Disney Channel movie
Camp Rock in 2007. The made-for-television film became a ratings smash, sending the brothers’ popularity to dizzying heights.
A Little Bit Longer was released during the Camp Rock craze and became the group’s first #1 album. The Jonas Brothers’ third record featured a number of hits like “Burning Up”, “Lovebug”, “Video Girl”, and “Tonight”. Rolling Stone gave
A Little Bit Longer four stars and earned a place in the famous magazine’s Top 50 albums of the Year list. On the road, the Jonas Brothers grossed $48 million during the A Little Bit Longer Tour and filmed a 3D concert film featuring Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift. Will the brothers Jonas return to the road in 2011? Nick Jonas in a recent interview with MTV hinted that the band will "step it up" on their next release. Whenever the band's next album hits stores, Jonas Brothers fans will be excited to hear their heroes' newest music.
