American Idol Season 7 runner up David Archuleta is set to make his inaugural appearance in Southeast Asia this April, performing in Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines. David Cook is also set to appear at one of these three shows so fans are in for a real treat.

Note that these are showcases (read: expect approximately 7-8 songs performed) and not concerts. There are either no tickets on sale and you will either have to obtain them through contests by the media instead – radio, publications, et cetera  or purchase a copy of his album to be eligible for the autograph session. Keep an eye out for promos in your country as they have already begun for some or will be about to start soon.

We also highly recommend you check the respective fansites of the country you live in as they have been in contact with the local Sony Music for this purpose and are equipped with all the information you are possibly after (links under the cut).

Venue: Iluma Media & Entertainment Centre, Bugis, Singapore
Time: 7pm
