Kelly Clarkson announces tour dates

Pop megastar Kelly Clarkson announced today her much anticipated ALL I EVER WANTED Tour for the fall of 2009. Joining Clarkson are red-hot Australian sister duo The Veronicas and rising band Parachute.

The high-energy tour kicks off in Uncasville, CT on October 2nd and concludes in Hollywood, Florida on December 13th, covering 32 total U.S. and Canadian markets. Steve Moore of MEG/AEG Live Nashville will promote the bulk of the tour.

“We are thrilled to work with Kelly Clarkson again. She is truly one of the best vocalists in the business. And The Veronicas and Parachute round out a superstar lineup,” Moore said.

Clarkson has sold more than 20 million albums since her 2002 debut. Her current All I Ever Wanted release shattered Billboard records, when “My Life Would Suck Without You” jumped from #97 to #1 in its first week of release. Clarkson premiered her current single “Already Gone” on The Late Show with David Letterman last week.

Concert attendees can expect to hear these latest hits including “I Do Not Hook Up” from the tour’s namesake album, along with her signature pop anthems.

The Veronicas, who delivered five top 10 singles in Australia on their debut album, have now earned platinum record success with the electro-rock sizzler “Untouched.” Parachute’s current single “She Is Love” continues to climb both Hot AC and Top 40 charts.

Tickets for the first shows go on sale August 15th, with the remaining on-sales rolling out in the coming weeks. Fans can find out more, including ticket outlets, by visiting www.kellyclarkson.com.
