Kelly Clarkson [ tickets ], who recently unveiled dates and cities for a summer tour, has confirmed venues for the run.

As previously reported, the singer will kick off the tour July 11 at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, OR.

She is also slated to appear at the July 7 Live Earth concert at East Rutherford, NJ's Giants Stadium, which takes place just a few days before the official start of her tour. The outing is scheduled to hit more than 35 cities and run until late September; full details are included below.

"This will be the biggest tour I've ever done," Clarkson said in a press release. "It's all about the music--we're bringing extra musicians and we'll be making an arena environment intimate because I want the fans to be part of the show! And you'll hear all your favorite hits too!"

Clarkson will be backing her forthcoming album, "My December," due July 24. It follows her 2004 smash "Breakaway," and is her third studio album since triumphing on the first season of "American Idol" in 2002. "Breakaway" earned Clarkson a Grammy award for Best Pop Vocal Album at last year's awards ceremony. She also picked up a trophy in the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance category for the album's hit single, "Since U Been Gone."

"Breakaway" has sold more than 5 million copies in the US, according to her publicist.
