Idol Tour 2018: September 16: The Finale! Kris Allen brings DC another hurricane and the 2.1 Idols

The tour finale is this Sunday in Washington, DC.

Not the first time Kris has brought a hurricane to DC (definitely click that link, the video is funny), just saying. I remember driving home from this show as Hurricane Sandy hit. We did get lucky this time with Hurricane Florence; however, the remnants are scheduled to hit DC on Monday. My best thoughts to anyone in the Carolinas reading this.

September 16: Warner Theatre, Washington, DC  - I did make the show! It was fast-paced and a lot of fun. We had a Periscope and another Kris fan took some videos. I'll keep adding them to the post as he uploads them (Thanks Eric!) You know DC always #givesgoodlist!

The set list is here.

Updated September 17 with my thoughts and the videos (after the break)! Hope Kris and the Idols don't have travel issues today. Florence is in SW VA and the outer bands are going to give DC a lot of rain. My thoughts are with all of you in the Carolinas.

Idol Tour 2018: September 14 and 15: the Idols play the suburbs of New York and Boston

If you missed the first time the Idol tour played the Boston or New York City areas, you're in luck, because the tour is coming back around!

September 14: Count Basie Center for the Arts, Red Bank NJ (Monmouth County) - Kris did not appear. See below.

September 15: Zeiterion Performing Arts Center, New Bedford, MA (south of Boston; east of Providence, RI) - Kris did not appear. Nick Fradiani subbed for him. See below.

The set list is here.

Updated September 13 with some sad news. Kris announced on his Facebook that a close lifelong friend had passed away unexpectedly. He will be returning to Arkansas for the funeral and will miss the show in New Jersey and per an email going out to ticket purchasers, the VIP in MA. My thoughts, prayers and condolences goes out to Kris, his family and friends.

Idol Tour 2018: September 12 and 13: Kris Allen and the Idols return to Pennsylvania!

Kris and the Idols return to Pennsylvania. They had a Philadelphia-area stop earlier, but now they'll play York (near Amish country in southern central Pennsylvania), and also the Pittsburgh area.

September 12: York Fair, York PA. Some videos just turned up!

September 13: Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall, Munhall, PA (Pittsburgh area) Videos after the break.

Updated September 14 with some Pittsburgh videos

Idol Tour 2018: September 9 and 10: Kris comes home to Nashville and then back out to Dayton

We are in the final ten days of the tour now! I'm so excited for Kris to play the historic Ryman, even if it is as host of the Idol tour 2018. After a stop in his adopted hometown of Nashville, the tour heads back out to Dayton, Ohio.

September 9: Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN - Nashville is just always a city that never shares video. 

September 10: The Rose Music Center at the Heights, Huber Heights, OH (Dayton area) - some video; not much

 The set list for the Idol tour concerts is here. 

Updated September 13 with a little from Nashville. Not much.  But some good stuff, especially for Idol 2.1 fans.

Idol Tour 2018: September 7: Kris Allen and the Idols play the Chicago Area

It's back to the Chicago area for Kris Allen on the Idol tour. The Idol Tour in 2009 played Rosemont, a western suburb. Back in those days, the tour played the Allstate Arena there and the crowd was allowed to be enthusiastic:



Let's hope this smaller theatre lets the 2018 Idols and their fans have some fun. Ticket link below; come back after the show for coverage. Set list is here.

September 7, 2018: Rosemont Theatre, Rosemont, IL

Updated 10/2/2018 with better videos! Enough to earn Chicago #gavegoodlist

Idol Tour 2018: September 5 and 6: Up to Minnesota and Wisconsin for Kris Allen and the Idols

Kris and the Idols get a little break before heading north. (I'm guessing for Maddie to go home to Iowa since they play South Dakota on Sunday and Minneapolis on Wednesday.)  They play some shows in the midwest this week.

September 5: State Theatre, Minneapolis, MN - Nice videos after the break! Minneapolis earns #gavegoodlist!

September 6: The Riverside Theatre, Milwaukee, WI - 

Ticket links above. Come back after the shows for coverage! The set list for all Idol tour shows is here.
Updated 9/8/2018 with some Milwaukee videos.
