Produced exclusively by Live Nation, the 25-city jaunt kicks off in Chicago on July 13 and will include stops in Cleveland, Boston, Nashville and Los Angeles for the two classic-meets-contemporary sensations, both of whom mash up classic pop stylings and modern pop hits in their own unique fashions. Complete itinerary below. Presale for both fan clubs begin on Wednesday, February 15th at 10am local time through 10pm. More information including VIP Packages can be found at http://www.sncmusic.com/ and http://postmodernjukebox.com/.
