July 31: Wente Vineyards, Livermore, CA We got a full set of IG videos from this show plus some new info on the set list.

August 1: Fremont Theater, San Luis Obispo, CA Sadly all we have for you on this one is a good video of Kris/Caleb/Cade.

Idol tour 2018: the Set List

Thought I'd do one post with the set list since we are still building it. Pro tip: If you are a true fan of live music, then you care about set lists.

Here's what we've got so far (after the break). Please tweet me @KrisAllenLists if you can fill us in on the show. Maddie especially seems to fiddle with her set.

Thank you to Linda (Kris Micklin), Kathy Heilig, Patrick Cutler and Caitlin (@caleblovesmaddie), and also @silvacchristopher, @ISBinLA, @HartNurseDeb, @AuntyCJ and MJ of MJs Big Blog for helping me fill it in and update it!
