Stage[edit]
The stage was set up as an in-the-round at the center of the venue measuring 144-feet-wide to allow for better audience viewing. It incorporated many features such as a one of a kind large circular water screen, a giant crane that extends over the audience, laser and automated video effects and a double Lazy Susan at the center stage, consisting of one in the center and an outer one as a ring around the other. It was designed similar to Britney Spears' Circus Tour. The tour used this stage for all of its legs except for the Caribbean and the South America legs of the tour, where they then decided to use a normal stage with catwalk instead.
Demi Lovato supported them in Europe and also in all their Latin America tour dates.[7]
British girl group Girls Can't Catch performed in United Kingdom tour dates.
The Wonder Girls, a South Korean girl group, joined the Jonas Brothers in various North American tour dates.[8] Although, on July 1, it was announced that the Jonas Brothers and their management asked the Wonder Girls to open for their entire tour.[9]
Also new pop singer Jessie James was added as a guest on tour. She served as a host for the concerts in June introducing each act and performing her single Wanted. She performed in all of the shows in June, 2009. She however did not perform at the Portland, Oregon concert.
Jordin Sparks did not appear at the San Antonio or Nashville shows because of throat problems, which couldn't let her sing. She did not appear at the New Orleans show because she was attending her boyfriend's funeral.
