JoJo announces North American tour (dates)...

JoJo's 'I Am JoJo' tour will be a 23-date trek of North America commencing early November. Tickets go on sale this Friday (October 9th) at AXS.com
The 24-year-old is expected to perform new material on tour including latest singles 'When Love Hurts,' 'Say Love' and 'Save My Soul.' It's been forever since fans saw her on tour and that was when she toured with Joe Jonas and Jay Sean back in the day. 

This tour would be great promo for her upcoming album, and despite playing small venues, it has me wondering whether JoJo actually has the fanbase to pull off a tour on her own. Of course hardcore fans will be there for the nostalgia but would it really be enough to pull in a broader audience? I don't think her new material is strong enough (if at all) and her mixtapes/EPs didn't exactly create much noise. This is her first official tour with Atlantic Records, so small venues would be the sensible route to go.
