Glee star Darren Criss is hitting the road this summer in support of his upcoming debut album LISTEN UP. The 16-city tour kicks off on May 29th in Criss’s hometown of San Francisco before traveling across the United States and making a stop in Canada.
“I couldn’t think of a better way to spend the summer than being on the road and doing live shows,” the Glee star announce in a statement. “I wanted to do something bigger than what I’ve done before — more cities and new music. It’s a real opportunity for me to connect with all the people who’ve supported me through the years, as well as a chance to get new folks excited. It’s gonna be a party for everyone!”
In 2009 Criss self-released the EP Human and reached #17 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart. It has sold over 27,000 copies in the United States to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
