The limited five-city jaunt will feature season ten hopefuls Chris Medina, Rob Bolin and Tim Halperin, with 95% of ticket proceeds going to cover the medical expenses incurred by Medina's girlfriend Juliana Ramos, who was injured in a severe car accident two years ago.
Among the cities to be visited by the former American Idol stars when the tour kicks off next month are Chicago and Toledo, sources told TMZ.
While the gigs will not be officially sponsored by American Idol, it is thought that Fox execs will not object because money will be raised for the Juliana Recovery Fund.
Medina's devotion to his disabled girlfriend warmed the hearts of the reality show's judges, with Jennifer Lopez even crying when she informed the aspiring singer that he wouldn't advance in the competition.
Lopez would later reveal that she didn't expect to form such a strong connection to Medina and Ramos.
American Idol airs Wednesdays and Thursdays on Fox.
