Sob Comando Cinciberlant Estrada Medrosa, Reduto Gomes Freire 
Oeiras

Time TBA



Show and List Preview:
Kris is touring various U.S. military installations in Portugal and Italy June 28 through July 4 to entertain the troops and their families. He's done this before for the USO; this tour is sponsored by Armed Forces Entertainment. The second show of the four shows he is doing is on Tuesday evening in Lisbon, Portugal. As of this writing, it is only for military personnel and their families.

I'll be maintaining a rolling twitter list for this tour, but doing separate show posts. No worries, you won't miss a thing. Do not expect a lot of media though. I've found no posts or tweets about this particular show. (Update - We've got one person we found going!)

Updated: Our fan came through! Set list and some videos after the break...

Show and List Preview:
Kris is touring various U.S. military installations in Portugal and Italy June 28 through July 4 to entertain the troops and their families. He's done this before for the USO; this tour is sponsored by Armed Forces Entertainment. The first show of the four shows he is doing is on Sunday evening in the Azores islands (a region belonging to Portugal). It is part of a public festival, so this particular show is open to the public.

I'll be maintaining a rolling twitter list for this tour, but doing separate show posts. No worries, you won't miss a thing. Do not expect a lot of media though.

Updated with set list and media (including a high quality video of the entire show) after the break...

Other Acts:

6/20 - Emily Kopp, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors,

Show and List Preview:
This should be a good time! It's a festival with other acts that are current, relevant and in Kris' genre, so already that's an improvement! Plus there's a private party on a yacht for VIP ticket holders with a bonus "intimate" Kris performance. We do have our FL regulars going so our list will be good and I'm sure we'll get some great media as we recently did for West Palm Beach and Orlando shows!

Updated: Set list with instavideos for the VIP party and tons of media for the concert (including instavideo, setlist, twit cast and videos of Kris' set and set list, videos and twit cast for P2 as well!)

Show and List Preview:
If you've ever watched an episode of ABC's Nashville, you've seen the Bluebird Cafe. It's the bar that some of the characters work at and frequently showcase their musical talents at. So tonight, Kris Allen and others will do their best Gunnar, Deacon, Avery and Scarlett (well, scratch that last one, you know they will be more interesting than Scarlett). He did one of these earlier this year and it was a successful night!

The list is pretty small as the venue is small and sold out quickly. Limited seats are available for those who show up early on the day of the show (click here to find out more). Hope to add some people last minute. Be aware that the audience is strictly prohibited from taking videos.

Update: A Kris fan got there early for the day of seats, and was still turned away, so the show definitely sold out and was a success!
