Destiny's Child Announces Tour Dates

May 2, 2001 -- Destiny's Child announced the dates for the first TRL package tour yesterday afternoon on (where else?) the popular MTV request show. The two-month trek, headlined by the chart-topping trio, will kick off July 18 in Albany, N.Y., and wrap up with a two-night stand in Honolulu on Sept. 21 and 23.

Joining the threesome on the bill is a host of current faves, including Eve, Dream, 3LW, Nelly, and Jessica Simpson. Which artists will appear in what cities, as well as specific venues and on-sale dates, are expected to be announced shortly.

Destiny's Child's third full-length, Survivor, hit record stores on Tuesday and is anticipated to debut in the No. 1 spot on the Billboard album charts next week. The group will appear on Saturday Night Live this week to promote the disc.
