Idol Chatter & Voice Views

While new American Idol champ Iam Tongi and finalist Colin Stough have been busy announcing show dates, runner-up Megan Danielle has been silent on the issue.

Until now.

Turns out Megan will be going out on tour with Maddie Poppe, who announced a 21-date tour on Thursday.

Maddie, of course, won Idol on its first season on ABC and recently released a new single, “Good Enough to Let You Go.”

Maddie will kick off her tour with a show at the Midnight Gem in Swisher, Iowa, on Thursday night (July 6).

Megan will join her on the third date of the tour, a July 15 show at the Mabel Tainter Center For the Arts in Wisconsin.

She’ll open for Maddie on 15 of the show dates, but not at the show closest to central Pennsylvania, an Aug. 19 performance at the Carlyle Club in Washington, D.C.

Tickets for Maddie’s tour after available through her website.

Once she completes her own tour, Maddie will be joining Joshua Radin on his fall tour, with more than 25 dates announced so far for September and October.

The two recently released a single called “Neverland” together.

Separately, Megan has announced that she’ll be performing on the second day of the Alive Festival in Mineral City, Ohio, on July 14.

And on Aug. 5, she’ll be performing at the Franklin Summer Bash in Tennessee with American Idol colleague Haven Madison.

Her idol, Lauren Daigle, will headline day three of that festival, and the three-day lineup also includes former singing show contestants Blessing Offor, Jeremy Rosado, Courtnie Ramirez and Brennley Brown.
