LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Whether it's David Archuleta or David Cook who wins "American Idol" next week, both singers will be part of the show's annual concert tour.

Series creator Simon Fuller and concert promotion company AEG Live say tickets for this summer's "American Idols Live! Tour," which features the TV show's top 10 contestants, go on sale Saturday.

The tour's more than 50 stops include three in Ohio: July 20 in Columbus, three days later in Cincinnati, and Sept. 4 in Cleveland.

Besides finalists Cook and Archuleta, other contestants taking part are Syesha Mercado, Brooke White, Carly Smithson, Chikezie Eze, Jason Castro, Kristy Lee Cook, Michael Johns and Ramiele Malubay.

The season finale of "American Idol" airs Wednesday on Fox.
