Kris joining the American Idol tour this summer! (Tour information post)


The rumors are true and Kris will be joining the top 7 of American Idol on tour this summer (July 11 through September 16) as a "special guest." The tour is playing smaller indoor venues in the 800-2000 seats range (the DC venue seats 1,847 and is a great place to see a show, having seen a few there). Kris is supposed to perform and I was happy to see him liking suggestions on social media that he duet with Maddie, who is the blond on the left bottom row above and easily the best of this year's bunch.

I'll post any overall tour news in this post and keep it pinned. It looks like this is our chance to see Kris live this year unless you currently attend a D3 college.

You can access official info, dates and venues here.

Updated 6/6/2018: Tickets are on sale here. If you are looking for a VIP meet and greet with Kris, links to purchase are on his website.

College Show: May 5, 2018: Opening for Jesse McCartney, University of Scranton, Pennsylvania


Opening for Jesse McCartney
University of Scranton
Scranton, PA
May 5, 2018


Kris opens up for Jesse McCartney at the University of Scranton. Don't tell my youngest kid. She's been trying for two years to get the student activities council at her D3 college to get Jesse for their springfest. Instead they are getting Sammy Adams (a rapper the kids enjoy). (True confession: I'm glad my kids stanned Jesse. I actually like his music. And he also has a current song called Better With You, so I'm hoping for a mash-up or a duel on the Better With Yous.)

Anyway, if you went to grade school ten years ago, the University of Scranton has got the dream lineup for their springfest! I'll put whatever media we get in this post (it's not open to public so don't expect much).

Updated May 7, 2018: And we got... some blurry pics. This was the best one:
