American Idol concert chronology

The American Idols Live! Tour 2012 is a summer concert tour in the United States, Canada and Philippines that features the Top 10 contestants of the eleventh season of American Idol. The tour began on July 6, 2012 in Detroit, Michigan and ended on September 21, 2012 in Quezon City, Philippines. At most venues, the stage was placed in the middle while the other half was closed off with curtains, thus making a theate-rlike environment.[1][2]

Like the 2011 summer tour, this is the second time to include the Philippines at the same venue in Quezon City, marking this the third time that the tour took place outside North America.

Overview

The tour this repeated the same format as American Idols Live! Tour 2011, where there were solos and group performances. The first half contained solos from the first five contestants eliminated: Erika Van Pelt, Heejun Han, Deandre Brackensick, Colton Dixon and Elise Testone. The second half started with a set for the runner-up, Jessica Sanchez, then there were performances by Skylar Laine, Hollie Cavanagh and Joshua Ledet, and then a set for the winner, Phillip Phillips. The show ended with a group number.

Unlike previous tours, the stage was placed in the middle of an arena to make it look like a theater environment.
