What would a season of American Idol be without the blatant cashing in follow-up endeavors?
We don't even want to think about it, which is why we're so excited for this year's American Idol Live! Tour, announced today.
As usual, the top 10 contestants—yes, Didi Benami, Crystal Bowersox, Lee DeWyze, Andrew Garcia, Casey James, Aaron Kelly, Michael Lynche, Siobhan Magnus, Katie Stevens and Tim Urban—will be hitting arenas and amphitheaters across North America.
They'll kick off their 49 stops at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit on July 1 and wind down on Sept. 14 at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh.
The first round of tickets go on sale May 14. For details, visit AmericanIdol.com or LiveNation.com.
