Idol Tour 2018: August 30 and 31 and September 2: Kris Allen Plays Montana for the First Time (?) (and Utah and South Dakota too) with the American Idols

The tour heads back across the country again! What's cool is that Kris is going to play for the first time ever (as far as I've been keeping track anyway) in Montana! It's your chance! They're also playing Utah, where Kris has done a few shows over the years.

(Update: Unfortunately, can't find any Kris media from the Montana show! I've added the 9/2 South Dakota show to this post in an attempt for South Dakota to pick up Montana's slack.)

August 30: Alberta Bair Theater, Billings, MT - Nothing. Crickets. If you were there and took a photo or video of Kris, please share with the world.

August 31: Dejoria Center, Salt Lake City, UT - A few videos.

September 2: Deadwood Mountain Grand, Deadwood, SD - Two nice sets of videos!

Updated September 3 with videos from South Dakota.
