[email protected] LIVE NATION SIGNS JONAS BROTHERS TO LONG TERM WORLDWIDE TOURING DEAL First Dates Announced Today! LOS ANGELES, CA – January 3, 2008 - Live Nation, the world’s largest live music company known for its global tours with such pop culture icons as Madonna, The Rolling Stones and The Police, to name a few, has inked a long term worldwide touring deal with the platinum selling music phenomenon, Jonas Brothers. The deal, the first of its kind for an emerging act, is expected to play more than 140 theatres and arenas around the world during the span of the agreement. The first wave of tour dates, which kicks off the aptly named “Look Me In The Eyes” tour for Jonas Brothers’ new single “When You Look Me In The Eyes,” will embark in Tucson, Arizona January 31. The announcement comes on the heels of a wildly successful year for Jonas Brothers, which included their first platinum album and their special guest appearance on the sold out “Best of Both Worlds” arena tour, massive internet and top 40 radio exposure, and countless TV appearances and magazine covers. Billboard magazine also named the group the pop tour break out pick for 2008. “This band creates pandemonium wherever they go. They sell out dates instantly and always leave their loyal fans wanting more. We couldn’t be more thrilled to be partners with them on their journey to superstardom,” said Live Nation Senior Vice President of Touring Bruce Kapp.
