Joe Jonas to join Britney Spears on European Tour

Fantasy turns into reality: As a kid, Joe Jonas had a poster of Britney Spears hanging on his wall.

Now, the 21-year-old singer will be joining his childhood crush on her European tour starting Oct. 16, he tells PEOPLE.

"It's a dream come true," says Jonas, who will be opening for Spears and promoting his upcoming solo album Fastlife, to be released Oct. 11.

"She was the first girl I ever had a poster on my wall of, and her album was the first CD I ever bought," says Jonas. "It's so funny to think I had that on my wall and here I am about to perform with her."

Jonas first met Spears, 29, at an awards show a few years ago and says, "She's a very sweet lady."

He'll join Spears's Femme Fatale tour on Aug. 5 for one date in the U.S., then open her nine shows in Europe, with performances in Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Ireland and the United Kingdom.

"I'm really looking forward to being part of this," he says.

"I'll be playing more music than I have the past few times I've performed live so far," he adds. "It's going to be really fun to perform some of my music from the album."

Pauly D to Join Britney Spears on Tour

After much teasing, Jersey Shore's resident beat-beating, spiky-haired, house music-pumping DJ has finally secured a spot on Britney Spears' Femme Fatale Tour. Pauly D opened for Britney one night at the Palms in Las Vegas to celebrate his DJ-in-residency gig with the resort and casino, but signing on for the whole tour fell through when Britney chose Nicki Minaj as her opening act.

Now, Pauly has officially signed on to open for the pop princess for at least four of her North American tour dates. You can catch Pauly spinning August 17 in Grand Rapids, MI; August 19 in Pittsburgh, PA; August 20 in Columbus, OH; and August 22 in Indianapolis, IN.

No opener has been confirmed for Britney's last two tour stops in North Carolina, but rumors are swirling that Pauly may snag those dates as well after shooting of Season 5 wraps. We’re crossing our fingers that Pauly sweeps Britney off her feet and wifes her up — she could use a stand-up guy like him!
