David Archuleta Announces Tour Dates; American Idol Favorite Prepares to Tour United States

David Archuleta concert dates have now been scheduled. According to David Archuleta's MySpace page, the American Idol phenom will begin a concert tour starting on February 24th in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The first stop on the tour will take place at the Sandler PAC, and will surely see quite a large audience turn out to see what he can do on the stage. The concert will most likely take songs from his recently released album called David Archuleta.

David Archuleta is fresh off performing during the American Idols LIVE! Tour of 2008, and has his first studio album out in stores (it was released in November). Archuleta placed second in last seasons American Idol competition, making it all the way to the finals before losing to David Cook in the last episode of the season. Despite coming in second, Archuleta had received around 44 percent of the vote, showing that there were indeed quite a few people out there that were voting for the 17 year old to win the competition. Now 18 years old (his birthday was on December 28th), he is going to go out on his first real tour.

So far David Archuleta has sold over 500,000 copies of his debut album, and should see sales continue to do well as the newest season of American Idol gets started on television. From that album two singles have been released so far, with the first single Crush making it to #2 on the US Hot 100, and his latest single A Little Too Not Over You making a recent debut on the charts. Both will definitely be performed on his concert dates, but no song list has been released as to what he will cover. It is probably also a good bet that he will perform one or two songs that made him famous on American Idol.

Concert ticket prices haven't been released just yet, but with the dates coming up pretty quickly, news on that should be hitting the internet within days. The first tour by Archuleta is definitely an ambitious one as well, as he plans to make 20 different stops in the span of less than 30 days. Fans can get excited now, as David Archuleta will soon be coming to a town near you, as he crosses from Virginia to Idaho on his debut tour.
