Summary
American Idolwinner Abi Carter just announced her first concert since winning the ABC competition series, but she ended up running into some glitches along the way.Abi just wonAmerican Idolseason 22in May 2024after spending the entire season as a frontrunner. She performed Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” during the auditions, which earned her one of three platinum tickets from the judges. From there,Abi kept her frontrunner statusafter wowing with such covers as Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” Evanescence’s “Bring Me Back To Life” and Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain.”
Abi Carter faced a technical issue for her very first post-American Idolconcert, but it was eventually resolved.
Abi recently announced her first concertNo Amount Of Dark, which is scheduled for July 27 in Palm Desert, California, at the Acrisure Arena. Unfortunately, there was some sort of technical issue when the pre-sale tickets were made available, and fans couldn’t secure their seats at first.Abitook to her Instagram Stories to acknowledge the situation and lightheartedly said to her fans, “You all broke Ticketmaster!!!” Fortunately, the issue was eventually resolved. After the pre-sale period, tickets to the general public will be available starting on Friday, June 28.
Is Abi Carter Using First Concert To Test Out A Possible Tour?
Contestants Can’t Rely On American Idol Tours Anymore
For now,it appears thatNo Amount Of Darkis a one-off concert for Abi. However, she might be doing this on purpose to test out the popularity of the show before expanding with a full tour across the country. If she had competed onAmerican Idolduring most of the FOX era (and the first year of the ABC era), she would have been guaranteed a national U.S. tour with her fellowAmerican Idolseason 22 finalists.
However, as ratings for all TV shows, includingIdol, went down, interest in theAmerican Idols Live! Tourdwindled, and they were eventually canceled.These summer concerts were a great way for the finalists to continue earning moneyafter the season ended. In the early years of theAmerican Idoltours, the contestants performed for sold-out arenas all over the United States and parts of Canada.American Idolseason 14 was the final FOX season to feature a tour; it was briefly revived forAmerican Idolseason 16 before being canceled completely.

NowAmerican Idolcontestants are on their own when it comes to touring. SomeAmerican Idolseason 22 singers likeWill Moseley are opening for established artistslike the Zac Brown Band.Abi has decided to be a headliner, which makes sensesince she won the whole competition. Hopefully, her July 27 concert proves to be successful, and she’ll be able to add more dates across the country. She deserves her own tour to showcase her talent.
Abi Carter’s Post-American Idol Success Will Largely Depend On Debut Album
Touring is where a lot of artists make most of their money, but the perception of Abi’s post-American Idolsuccess will likely fall on the sales and streaming numbers for her debut album, whenever that ends up getting released.It’s not a sure bet that she’ll even release an albumwith theIdol-affiliated record label. In the early years ofAmerican Idolon FOX, winners were guaranteed at least one album.
Kelly Clarkson signed a multi-album contract after she wonAmerican Idolseason 1. Eventually, winners and other contestants released fewer and fewer albums with 19 Recordings and the other affiliated labels. Then it got to a point where some winners never released a single album.American Idolseason 18 winner Just Sam famously parted ways with Hollywood Records.Singers like Just Sam failing to release music with anAmerican Idolrecord company is not an indication that they weren’t worthyof winning. It’s just that the music business, like most industries, can never guarantee any sort of success.

Abi has an unbelievable voice; she rightfully wonAmerican Idolseason 22. Hopefully, her record label can partner her up with the right producers and songwriters so she’s set up for a great start to her music career.She’s planning on performing a lot of her own songs at her upcoming concert, which could be a great way for producers and executives to gauge public interest in brand-new music from Abi.
Abi has already achieved a positive accomplishment after her win. Her debut single, called “This Isn’t Over,” which she performed during theAmerican Idolseason 22 finale, launched at No. 23 on the Billboard charts, which is a great first step.American Idolseason 19 winner Chayce Beckham’s debut single “23,” which he wrote, found enduring success and landed on multiple music charts. Benson Boone from the same season became massively popular by writing his own songs.Abi has the talent to go far with her career; only time will tell what the future holds for her.
American Idol
Cast
American Idol is a reality singing competition that adds to the international “Idol” brand, conceived initially in the U.K. as Pop Idol. Holding massive auditions across the U.S., American Idol invited several contestants to perform in front of a panel of judges that would determine whether or not they’d go on to future rounds for a chance at competing in the fully televised premiere of the show. Contestants are voted off each week by American participation via voting through various mediums, and the winner of the competition would be given a contract with a record label to secure a future as America’s next musical idol.
