The size of the venues for this American Idol tour was smaller compared to previous years.[1] The show scheduled for Albany, New York was cancelled and the show in Syracuse was moved to a smaller venue. Unlike previous years, there was no live band, and the finalists performed to a backing track.[2]
Dexter Roberts left the tour after appearing in only a few shows due to illness.[3]
