The Jonas Brothers [ tickets ], who are getting ready to trek through the US this summer, have scheduled an Aug. 12 drop date for their third album, "A Little Bit Longer."

The lead single, "Burnin' Up," is also the name of the pop-rock trio's North American tour, which is set to launch July 4 in Toronto and then visit more than 35 US amphitheaters and arenas from coast to coast through late August. Most of the dates have already sold out, including two nights at New York City's Madison Square Garden, according to a press release. Teenage singer/songwriter Demi Lovato will serve as special guest on the outing.

The Jonas Brothers wrapped the North American leg of their wildly successful "Look Me in the Eyes Tour" in March and are currently in Europe through late June. Their American itinerary is listed below, while overseas dates can be found at their website.

The group has been previewing material from "A Little Bit Longer" during its recent outing. The Jonas Brothers co-wrote all the new songs and recorded much of the album on the road in a specially outfitted Gibson tour bus. John Fields returns as executive producer.

The new record follows the band's platinum-selling, self-titled sophomore set, which debuted at No. 5 on The Billboard 200 last August. That album has spawned pop hits including "S.O.S.," "Hold On" and "When You Look Me in the Eyes."

The Jonas Brothers--20-year-old Kevin, 18-year-old Joe, and 15-year-old Nick--also have several other projects on their plate. They star in the upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie "Camp Rock," which premieres June 20, as well as the Disney Channel series "J.O.N.A.S!," set to debut this fall. Next year, the guys will head to the big screen for a Disney Digital 3-D flick capturing the "Burnin' Up" concert tour.
