The 44-date North American leg begins June 20 at the Dallas Cowboys New Stadium in Texas and wraps August 31 at the Scotiabank Place in Ottawa.

Before the North American arena dates, the Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009 will play a handful of dates in South America in mid-May and head to the United Kingdom and Europe in early June.

The Jonas Brothers trek will feature support from "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks and rock act Honor Society.
