Fourteen-year-old singer, songwriter and actress Miley Cyrus of the hit Emmy-nominated Disney Channel series “Hannah Montana,” will launch her North American “Best of Both Worlds” concert tour this fall – a double billing where she performs both as a solo artist and as her popular television character Hannah Montana.
The 54-date tour embarks October 18 in St. Louis, Missouri and concludes in Albany, New York on January 9. Tickets for the first group of dates go on sale starting Saturday, August 18 at 10:00 a.m. at Ticketmaster outlets and online at AEGLive.com.
Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus, a two-disc set featuring songs from the second season of the hit series “Hannah Montana” and Miley’s debut as a solo artist, was released June 26 by Walt Disney Records and Hollywood Records. The double disc set entered Billboard’s Top 200 Album chart at #1 and certified platinum after its first week of release.
The “Hannah Montana” soundtrack, released in October 2006, was the first-ever TV soundtrack to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200, and turned Miley into a multi-platinum recording artist.
Hollywood Records recording artists Jonas Brothers will be joining Miley as her special guests for the entire tour. The Jonas Brothers’ self-titled debut album will be released on August 7 on the new CDVU+ format that was announced July 18 at their press conference in New York. Jonas Brothers will also appear in an upcoming episode of Disney Channel Original Series “Hannah Montana” August 17, and will perform a duet with Hannah. Jonas Brothers are expected to perform their #1 Radio Disney hit songs “Year 3000,” “Kids of the Future” and “Hold On” as well as material from their Jonas Brothers and It’s About Time albums.
Cyrus, as her character Hannah Montana, will perform hit songs from the two chart-topping Hannah Montana soundtracks followed by an intermission. Cyrus will close the show and perform material from her new solo album, Meet Miley Cyrus.
Miley will donate $1 from each ticket sold to The City of Hope, with a goal of raising more than $500,000.
