Christina Heading Back On Tour

October 11, 2006 | Comments 9

The U.S. jaunt kicks off February 20 in Houston, Texas, and wraps May 5 in Sunrise, Florida. Tickets for select stops in other markets — Dallas; San Diego; San Jose, California; St. Paul, Minnesota; Boston; Washington, D.C.; Philadelphia; Columbus, Ohio; Rosemont, Illinois; Providence, Rhode Island; and Baltimore — go on sale Saturday.

Aguilera is already old friends with one of her opening acts, the Pussycat Dolls — she served as one of their guests when they were still performing as the Pussycat Doll Revue in Los Angeles. Danity Kane will also help warm up the shows.

Meanwhile, Aguilera will warm up for the U.S. dates by performing her first European tour since 2003 starting November 17 (see “Christina Aguilera Reveals European Tour — Next Up, U.S. Clubs”).

Still to come is a proposed U.S. club tour, in which Aguilera would play legendary blues and jazz joints. While her arena tour set list is likely to be heavy on the 20 tracks from her double album, she’s planning something a little different for the club tour. “We’re definitely going to mix it up, change it up, do some things that are not on the record, do some favorite classics of mine,” Aguilera said. “We’re really going to have fun and experiment with new ideas and interesting places to go to that have a throwback appeal and vibe.”

Instead of working with the now defunct FansRule company, which is in the midst of arranging refunds for the singer’s canceled 2004 tour (see “Two Years Later, Aguilera Fans Finally Getting Their Due: A Refund”), Aguilera has partnered again with I Love All Access to offer fans VIP ticket packages.
