American Idols and Jonas Brothers, two popular institutions that seem to be fading a bit, will be coming to an arena near us in late summer. Idols Live, featuring this season's top 10 finalists, will undertake a 49-city tour that visits Target Center on Aug. 29. The hit-and-miss lineup will feature Aaron Kelly, Andrew Garcia, Crystal Bowersox, Didi Benami, Tim Urban, Michael Lynche, Casey James, Siobhan Magnus, Lee DeWyze and Katie Stevens. The tour starts July 1 in Detroit, so the Idols will be in the home stretch by the time they get to Minneapolis. Ticket details will be announced later. Are you missing the Jonas Brothers? Didn't Nick Jonas and the Administration satisfy you this winter? The trio of JoBros will perform Sept. 8 at Xcel Energy Center. Their tour, with opener Demi Lovato, starts July 27, the same day the soundtrack to "Camp Rock 2" will be released; that Disney Channel movie will premiere on Sept. 3. JoBros concert tickets will go on sale May 15 at teamjonas.com.
