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.

Preview:
Kris is on a month-long acoustic tour with his good friends in the pop rock band Parachute. Parachute, who is fantastic about fan service, is letting their fans vote on their set list. See the Phoenix post for Kris' set list. Kris has keyboardist Andrew St. Marie in tow and he is sharing a bus with Parachute.

The tour continues Thursday night in Minneapolis, Minnesota with a show at the Fine Line Cafe, which Kris played back in 2010 during his first headlining tour. Get there early if you are going, as fans have been lining up early. Information for this specific show can be found after the break!

Updated 4/14/2017: The crowd certainly sounds enthusiastic in the one IG video that has popped up for Kris (linked after break along with some for Parachute & a nice YouTube of In Time). If you can help confirm his set list for this show, please tweet @KrisAllenLists!

Show and List Preview:
Kris and the band return to this Minneapolis venue, which they last played in 2013. In 2014, they had one of their most successful outings of the Boyce Avenue tour in this city, playing the famous venue, First Avenue.

Updated: While the venue had spotty wifi and that reduced the live tweeting, people were quick to share what they did have! Plus a few intrepid people with good data plans Periscoped some songs and we will get video. Set list and media after the break...

Show Preview:

The Out Alive Tour heads up to Minneapolis, Minnesota, home of the Replacements and Prince, which ought to give Kris lots of great inspiration for requests!

I just hope we will get video. (Update: We got a lot, good job Minneapolis!) The last three shows have yielded only a few videos. C'mon midwest, step up your game!

That said, in the managing expectations department, a few people on the list for tonight were discussing how they don't normally like to tweet or video during shows yesterday.  I completely understand wanting to just kick back and enjoy Kris live - he's an amazing live artist - it's why we all love to follow his events and shows! Hoping they'll at least tweet a pic of the set list or even just the set list after the show.

Updated: The Minneapolis list did very well! Link to Set List/Video post on Tumblr.

List: November 15, 2012: Concert at Southwest Minnesota State University

Concert at Southwest Minnesota State University
Marshall, MN
Opening for Eric Hutchinson
Doors at 7 pm, Show at 8 pm CENTRAL

Kris opens tonight for Eric Hutchinson at a college concert held at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall, MN. This isn't the first time they've played together, as they did a radio show for WRMF in West Palm Beach earlier this year. For those of you who aren't familiar with Eric, he's worth checking out. He had a minor hit earlier this year with Watching You Watch Him, and opened for Kelly Clarkson on her tour a few years ago. Here's the event info in case you make a last-minute decision to head out to SMSU and see the show tonight!
