American Idols Live! Tour 2011

The American Idols Live! Tour 2011 was a summer and fall concert tour in the United States, Canada and the Philippines that features the Top 11 contestants of the tenth season of American Idol. The 49-date tour started in West Valley City, Utah, on July 6, and its North American leg ended in Rochester, New York on September 10. Forty-five dates were originally planned and four extra dates were added due to high demand, including two final shows in Manila, Philippines, the second time the show has traveled outside North America after Singapore was added to the tour schedule in Season 3.

The 2011 tour was promoted again by AEG Live after a year with Live Nation. The Ford Motor Company, Coca-Cola, and the US Air Force Reserve were also sponsors of the tour.
