Hard-touring 14-year-old pop singer Aaron Carter has announced a run of North American dates for this summer, with pop newcomers Jump 5, No Secrets, and Triple Image set for opening slots. The tour, dubbed Rock, Rap, and Retro, closely follows Carter's Winter Party Tour, which wrapped March 17 in Miami.
Carter's summer tour will kick off June 1 with a date at the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, Mass. Dates are tentatively set through a Sept. 21 engagement in Boston, with more expected to be announced in the coming months.
Carter is still vigorously supporting his second album, "Oh Aaron" (Jive), which debuted at No. 7 on The Billboard 200 in August 2001 and has sold 1.1 million copies to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan. His Jive debut, "Aaron's Party" has sold 2.5 million copies, peaking at No. 4 on The Billboard 200.
The artist plans to record his third album during breaks in touring, with an eye on a fall release date. This morning, he joined his elder brother, backstreet boy Nick Carter, for a duet performance on CBS' "The Early Show."
