By now, I’m sure you’ve heard that Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas have teamed up for The Future Now national tour and it is NOT one to be missed. Whether you are a 20-something fan since their Disney days (ahem, guilty) or a fan of their newest hits like “Cool for the Summer” and “Jealous,” you need to get tickets for this one-of-a-kind show ASAP. In case you have yet to find your wallet and log onto Ticketmaster, here are eight reasons why this concert needs to be at the top of your summer ’16 to-do list.
1. Demi's Voice
Demi Lovato has proven over the past several years that her voice is pure, undeniable talent. She is one of the most genuine artists, sharing each of her trials and triumphs with her fans in an effort to strengthen them, as music has done for her. She pours her heart and soul into each song for a live performance that will leave you with chills. One word, QUEEN.
2. Nick's Voice
Nick Jonas has shed his signature curly ‘do and jazzed up his musical repertoire in an effort to show that he has grown from Disney hit to musical heartthrob. If the “swag” of Nick J. is not enough to interest you in a seat at the show nearest you, his voice should do more than convince you. Nick Jonas has an amazing voice that will turn even the skeptical into true fans in no time. A live performance by Nick Jonas will make you a fan for life.
3. Their Friendship
Nick and Demi might just be the cutest best friends since Monica and Chandler. They have been in each other’s lives for years now and their bond has only grown stronger with time. The “Camp Rock” days have come and gone, but seeing them on stage together shows that whether they are 13 years old or 23, they will always be there for each other. The love they share may not blossom into romance like Monica and Chandler, but only time will tell.
4. The Nostalgic Reunion
The “Camp Rock” Tour swept the nation back in 2010, with Demi sharing the stage with all three of the JoBros. The classic pop songs of our youth filled each venue as they promoted the Disney Channel Original Movie. Although we have all grown and matured from the days of playing air guitar to “we rock, we rock, CAMP ROCK,” it is impossible to not feel a twinge of nostalgia seeing Demi and Nick share the stage six years later. Just wait until Nick reclaims his position of Demi’s pianist while she sings one of her newest hits. Not a dry eye in the house.
5. The Songs
I know, I know. “Cool for the Summer” and “Jealous” have been played on every radio station and Spotify playlist for months. But those songs don’t even scratch the surface of this incredible set list. Are you a fan of Demi’s old-school ballads like “Skyscraper” or her new hit “Stone Cold?” Have you listened to Nick’s new album, “Last Year Was Complicated?” Trust me, there is a song for everyone at this concert. Get ready to shout the lyrics to your old faves, while making a list of new songs to add to your “Car Jams” playlist.
6. The Merch
Start saving your money now for the merchandise sold on this tour. Whether you want a classic Demi and Nick concert tee or to splurge on a new Demi Lovato sweat suit (yes, it’s a thing), the merch table is the hot spot to be before the show. Get into the venue early and bring your wallet, you can’t put a price on memories. Right? Right.
7. The ShowThis show is the quintessential concert experience that leaves you with no voice and a feeling of pure joy. If you are looking for a concert that will please all your friends, remind you of your youth and keep you dancing all night long, look no further. This show will turn a warm summer night into an experience you will always remember. Fire literally falls from the sky as Demi makes her entrance. Enough said.
8. The Memories
So many of us have followed Demi and Nick’s journey through music for years. And even if you are new to the crowd, you will quickly see how this duo can be loved by so many. Concerts bring people together. No matter who you are, where you’re from or how old you are, your love and appreciation for music has brought you all to the same place for just a few hours. The happiness that a concert brings to so many people leaves memories that will last a lifetime.
The Future Now Tour is everything that I hoped it would be and more. This concert is a must see for old and new fans alike. Whether you are 12 or 21, these artists have meant so much to us for years. And from the talent displayed on that stage every night, this is only the beginning.
