Provo » The Jonas Brothers will headline this year's Stadium of Fire.
Brad Pelo, the Independence Day show's executive producer, announced the headliner this morning. Pelo said conservative talk-show host Glenn Beck will, for the third year, serve as the show's emcee.
"They are a pop phenomena," Pelo said of the band.
Tickets for the show go on sale Friday.

The Jonas Brothers will headline this year's Stadium of Fire event on the Fourth of July at Brigham Young University's LaVell Edwards Stadium, event organizers announced Tuesday morning.
Like Miley Cyrus, who headlined the show in 2008, the pop-rock trio Jonas Brothers rose to stardom through various appearances in Disney Channel productions. They began with a guest spot on a second-season episode of "Hannah Montana."
Their first feature-length film, Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience, opened Feb. 27 and brought in $12.7 million for a second-place finish in its debut weekend.
The band consists of three New Jersey-based brothers: Kevin, 21; Joe, 19; and Nick, 17.
Nationally syndicated radio host Glen Beck will be returning to host the 2009 event.
Tickets for Stadium of Fire go on sale March 6 at 5 p.m. and will be sold simultaneously online at www.byutickets.com and at the BYU Marriott Center ticket office. Ticket purchasers will be limited to 8 tickets per transaction. Due to the incredible popularity of the Jonas Brothers, organizers expect a quick sellout of this event.
Because of the great demand for last year's tickets and anticipated similar demand this year, festival organizers opted to make tickets available online in advance of Tuesday's announcement at freedomfestival.org.
COMMENTARY --- RIGHT ASCENSION AGOG
Holy Bromantic Independence Day Batman! Another Kulchural event to avoid like the black death.
Think of it: A crowd of
60 thousand+plus shrieking teeneyboppers, bobbysoxers, or whatever the blazes we call the screaming tweens these days
combined with
foam-at-the-mouth reactionaries whose political attitudes got frozen in place somewhere around 1923.
The crowd should be more fascinating to watch than the acts.
This combination of Beck and Jonas sounds as illogical as it might have been back in 1965 to have hired Paul Harvey warm the crowd for the Beatles in Yankee Stadium.
David Archuleta would make a better and greater opening act to the Brothers. Wycoff New Jersey meets Murray Utah in Provo. Well, maybe in another life, or in the opening ceremony of the next Utah Winter Olympic Games.
