"Due to production scheduling changes, the American Idol 2013 Tour will now begin on July 19th and go through the summer until August 31st," the statement said. "The Idols look forward to performing in 30 venues across the country."

The season 12 contestants, including winner Candice Glover and runner-up Kree Harrison, were originally slated to hit 40 cities this summer, but ten of the dates have now been cancelled. These dates include shows in Detroit, St. Louis, Las Vegas and Tulsa, Oklahoma.
