Phillip Phillips Packs His Heart & Hits The Road

Phillip Phillips has filled the next several months with show after show. The North American headline tour kicks off Sept. 12 in West Point, N.Y., and keeps him busy though early December.

The “American Idol” winner has spent the last few weeks off the road after completing a 25-city summer trek with O.A.R. He’s got a few gigs to do before his next excursion begins, including Thursday’s show in Waco, Texas; Saturday’s appearance at the “Gatineau Hot Air Balloon Festival” in Quebec; and Sunday’s set at the New York State Fair in Syracuse.
