American Idol

television show. Since the first season aired in 2002, the top 5 to 10 performers of the competition are taken on tour to perform across the United States and Canada. Hitting well over 30 cities during the tour, it's a fantastic opportunity for fans of the show or general music lovers to see some of the best up-and-coming talent the industry has to offer at the same time.

American Idol Live has been a staple of

American Idol

since the show's debut, barring the 15th season, which lacked a tour. It serves as a way to recognize the efforts of those who made it all the way to the finals of the competition and give fans a great time after sticking with them for so long. Since the very beginning, shows have generally followed a pattern of having performers sing in the order they were eliminated from the show, followed by a second half featuring group songs with a number of solos sprinkled in. With performances all across North America and occasionally outside the country to sold-out crowds, the show offers a unique opportunity to see many Idol contestants in a way you might not get to again.
