The American Idols Live! Tour 2014 was a concert tour that featured the Top 10 finalists of the thirteenth season of American Idol. The tour started on June 24, 2014, in Binghamton, New York and ended on August 23, 2014, in Redmond, Washington.

The size of the venues for this American Idol tour was smaller compared to previous years.[1] The show scheduled for Albany, New York was canceled and the show in Syracuse was moved to a smaller venue. Unlike previous years, there was no live band, and the finalists performed to a backing track.[2]

Dexter Roberts left the tour after appearing in only a few shows due to illness.
