American Idol Launches Tour This Summer
The annual tour “American Idols Live!,” which features this year’s 10 finalists from the competitors of “American Idol,” has announced their itinerary for 2010.
The long trek will feature “Idol” finalists Tim Urban, Michael Lynche Siobhan Magnus, Lee DeWyze, Didi Benami, Katie Stevens, Crystal Bowersox, Andrew Garcia, Casey James and Aaron Kelly. This summer the outing will be visiting over 50 cities, kicking this off in Auburn Hills, MI on July 1 and wrapping up in Pittsburgh on September 14 two months later.
Most of the dates will be going on sale on May 15. American Idol’s website contains additional ticket information.
Determination for the tour’s order of appearance for the performers will occur by the contestants’ eventual placement during the weekly talent competition airing on Fox. At this time, six contestants are still in competition for the American Idol winner title. The Idol hopeful most recently eliminated is Tim Urban among the top 10.
