Think it’s a coincidence that whenever you hear about the next American Idol Live tour, you also hear about the coming triple-bill that teams Jennifer Lopez with Enrique Iglesias and Wisin y Yandel? Well, it’s happened again.

The Latin pop trio featuring Idol‘s Paula Abdul replacement, Julio’s son and the Puerto Rican reggaeton duo have added extra dates to their respective O.C. and L.A. arena stands — so now it’s Aug. 11-12 at Honda Center, $29.50-$199.50, and Aug. 16-17 at Staples Center, $29.50-$250. All shows are on sale now.

Meanwhile, the Top 10 finalists from Season 11 of Idol — in alphabetical order: Deandre Brackensick, Hollie Cavanagh, Colton Dixon, Heejun Han, Skylar Laine, Joshua Ledet (go Joshua!), Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez, Elise Testone and Erika Van Pelt — make two local stops this summer: July 23 at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live, $32.50-$68.50, and July 25 at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, $32-$69.

Both shows go on sale Friday, May 11, at 10 a.m., as do two more Nokia attractions: Train with Mat Kearney and Andy Grammer, Sept. 29, $39.50-$59.50, and Revolucion del Corrido, with Noel Torre, Regulo Caro, Jorge Santacruz, Nena Guzman and Grupo Escolta, Aug. 11, $35-$125.
