The Jonas Brothers are coming! The Jonas Brothers are coming!

The famous Paul Revere chant signaling the arrival of the British sent colonists into a frenzy, and Nick, 15, Joe, 19, and Kevin, 20, will send Columbus’ members of tween nation atwitter when they take the stage during their sold-out concert Saturday night at Nationwide Arena.

Out on their “Burning Up Tour,” which kicked off Independence Day in Toronto and runs until Sept. 5 in West Palm Beach, the pop-rock trio is scaling the country on the promotion of their critically lauded album “A Little Bit Longer,” released last week, and the soundtrack to their Disney Channel movie “Camp Rock.”

The brothers appeared on Miley Cyrus’ record breaking concert tour “Best of Both Worlds” last year. They released the platinum album “Jonas Brothers,” which is still atop Billboard charts. Singles “S.O.S.,” “Hold On,” and their latest smash hit, “Burnin’ Up” — their highest charting single to date, peaking at No. 5 — have been cemented within the minds of 14-year-olds across the nation.

The show is sold out, but here are a few future projects according to www.JonasBrothers.com to look forward to for those unable to snag tickets.

• Film crews showed up to the boys’ July gig in Anaheim, Calif., with plans to release a concert movie in January, much like Miley Cyrus’ box-office hit early this year.

• A Disney Channel series staring the trio is set to debut spring of 2009, the title and script of which are being reworked.

• Disney is also set to release a behind-the-scenes book about the band’s adventures later this fall.

• A script for “Camp Rock 2” is being worked on and filming is said to begin next summer.
