The seventh season of "American Idol" is steadily nearing its May 21 finale, but that doesn't mean the fun of "Idol" has to end with it.

While we still don't know for sure who's going to walk away with the "Idol" title, fans of the program will be able to catch this season's eventual victor and the rest of their favorite finalists all summer long, thanks to the American Idols Live! Tour, which launches July 1 in Glendale, Arizona, and will make stops in 47 other U.S. cities before wrapping on September 13 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

This summer's run will feature live performances by this season's top 10: Brooke White, the [article id="1586156"]recently booted Carly Smithson[/article], Chikezie, [article id="1582392"]David Archuleta[/article], [article id="1586124"]David Cook[/article], Jason Castro, Kristy Lee Cook, Michael Johns, Ramiele Malubay and Syesha Mercado. Tickets for the tour -- which is being sponsored by Pop-Tarts -- go on sale May 17.
