Scotty McCreery Tour Dates 2013: ‘American Idol’ Winner Sets Out on First Headling Trek

Scotty McCreery has a date for Valentine's Day. Actually, he has a few thousand, seeing as the "American Idol" winner will kick off his first headlining tour on Feb. 14 in Bethlehem, Pa. The Weekend Roadtrip Tour 2013 runs through May with opener Sarah Darling, and as the tour name implies, only makes stops on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday nights. (See the 16 announced tour dates below.)

"Right now, I'm balancing my music career with my second semester at North Carolina State University," the 19-year-old says. "I go to school early in the week and get to play my music every weekend. So, calling this tour the Weekend Roadtrip Tour just made sense. Plus, what college student doesn't love a good roadtrip?"

During the tour, fans will get to hear new tunes from Scotty's upcoming sophomore album, which is expected out later this year. The journey -- which is sponsored by the humanitarian organization World Vision -- will also include the college freshman's singles from his debut album, Clear As Day, and classic covers.
