Phillip Phillips joins Matchbox 20 Tour

Phillip Phillips will open for Matchbox 20 Tour beginning January 29, 2013 for 21 days. Matchbox 20 made the announcement on their Facebook page: “Hey Phillip Phillips – It’s been really cool watching all your success this year & we’re excited to have you come out on our NORTH America 2013 tour!”

This is an interesting pairing. Hopefully Phillip gets more fans out of this!

From THR:

When Phillip Phillips performed Matchbox 20′s song, “Disease,” on American Idol this spring, he didn’t impress the judges, but he sure got the attention of the band.

The season 11 winner will join the Florida group on the road for 21 dates this winter beginning Jan. 29, 2013, according to the Matchbox 20 Facebook page.

“Hey Phillip Phillips – It’s been really cool watching all your success this year & we’re excited to have you come out on our NORTH America 2013 tour!” read the announcement.

Phillips found an early supporter in Matchbox 20 lead singer Rob Thomas, who appreciated the Leesburg, Ga. singer’s interpretation of “Disease.”
