6/22/2012 - LAJES FIELD, Azores -- On Sunday, July 1, at 7 p.m. the Armed Forces Entertainment Idols Tour will present a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see six of the former reality television contestants perform at Lajes Field. The concert is part of the AFE European/Mediterranean Tour.
The concert will be held at the Community Activities Center and admission is free. The Idols World Tour brings together some of America's most recognizable musical talent to create an unforgettable show that combines nearly every genre of music. So, there's something to suit everyone's musical tastes.
Lajes Field will be one of the first tour stops for the Idols and Tommy Brooks of the 65th Force Support Squadron says that is likely no coincidence.
"The AFE staff know that Lajes treats its visitors right, so they try to send as many groups as possible (to Lajes)," said Brooks. Brooks added that high turnouts for these kinds of events typically lead to more concerts or performances.
"We encourage the Lajes Community to attend these special events. Attendance is a huge factor when AFE is considering bases for entertainment," said Brooks. "There are many people in the states willing to thank the military for the job they do, but we can also say 'thank you' by showing them our support."
The Idols tour will travel to 27 military installations throughout 12 countries - including Korea, Japan, Guam, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Turkey, Egypt, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and locations in the Middle East - bringing entertainment to more than 30,000 troops and their families.
This is the second world tour designed by Armed Forces Entertainment to reach more service members and their families with high caliber entertainment appealing to a broader audience base.
For more information about the concert, please contact the 65th Force Support Squadron at 535-1320.
