It has been confirmed that Joe Jonas is set to open for Britney Spears in one of her upcoming concerts.

It had been rumoured as far back as March that the Jonas Brothers star was being considered.

"This just in... I will be performing at the @BritneySpears concert in NJ on Aug 5. and get ready for #FastLife in stores Oct. 11," Joe announced the news on Friday, July 29 on his Twitter. The gig is set to take place at Izod Center in East Rutherford. 

He has been spending these past few weeks doing promotions for his upcoming studio album 'Fastlife', and being booked as Britney's supporting act will serve him quite well. He recently pushed back U.S. release of the album from September 6 to October 11.
