"I'm so excited about headlining my own tour. I love life on the road. I’m in a different city every night and it never gets old," Lovato told People.
The 16-year-old Disney star provided the opening for the Jonas Brothers on their Burning Up Tour during the summer of 2008.
American Idol season seven runner-up David Archuleta will be Lovato's opening act.
Musical artists Jordin Pruitt and KSM will also appear on select dates throughout the tour.
Lovato’s new TV show called Sonny With a Chance debuted on February 8. The show is a “fish-out-of-water” comedy in which she plays a Wisconsin teen who moves to L.A. when she’s cast in her favorite sketch comedy show for kids and tweens.
Lovato played Mitchie Torres, a talented teen singer who wants to become a pop star, in the made-for-TV musical, Camp Rock, with the Jonas Brothers.
