The first show of the tour will be on November 2 in Vancouver (Aiken’s only stop in Canada). Heading South from there, Aiken will hit nearly every major city from Seattle to San Diego. His westward trek will begin with a show in Phoenix on November 13, and he spends the supsequent week in the Midwest. The tour will hit Chicago on November 22 on its way to the East Coast.

That stretch begins toward the end of the month, with a gig in Pittsburgh on November 29, then it moves through major cities in New England. Aiken will travel Southward following a Washington show on December 13, stopping in cities in Southeast and finishing up in Clearwater, Fla. on December 29-30.

But the biggest show will likely happen on December 22 when the silky voiced singer performs in his hometown of Raleigh, N.C. Aiken recently announced that he’s selling his $2.5 million house in the Los Angeles area and moving back Raleigh.

“Whether this ride lasts for one year or 10 years, I want to have a home base,” the 26-year-old crooner said.

Aiken gained fame as the second-place winner of American Idol, barely losing the title to Ruben Studdard.

That didn’t stop Aiken’s his 2003 debut album, Measure of a Man, debuting at No. 1. According to a recent TV Guide/Bravo poll, Aiken also has the distinction of being named the most loved reality television star of all time.
