'America's Best Dance Crew': Tour is set and special's coming

---

For the record: Earlier, this post said that ASIID was competing for the honor of presenting a VMA award. SoReal Cru will be competing, not ASIID. Sorry, ASIID fans, but you get to see them on the tour!

Now it really is a must-go event.  Super Cr3w has confirmed that they are signing on to the 25-city "America's Best Dance Crew" tour with JabbaWockeeZ and Break Sk8.  And the tour got some extra added energy with the addition of two of this season's fan favorites: Detroit's ASIID and L.A.'s own Fanny Pak!  Here's part of the press release:

Following the live season two finale which drew more than 39 million fan votes, the hottest crews from the first two seasons will be joining forces for an electrifying 25-date national tour.  SuperCr3w, ASIID and Fanny Pak will be battling it out nightly with previously announced season one winners the JabbaWockeeZ and the amazing b-boys on wheels BreakSk8, while L.A.'s Power 106 FM star personality E-Man will serve as the tour's house DJ and MC.  The tour, presented by Glacéau Vitaminenergy (your natural energy source!) and promoted by AEG Live, kicks off in Miami on Sept. 18 and runs for five weeks across the country through Oct. 23 in Houston.

Tickets to "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew Live" are on sale now and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com.  Fans can visit www.dancecrew.aeglive.com for the latest tour updates and information.

Before the tour, there still remains the MTV special airing Saturday. JabbaWockeeZ and Super Cr3w will perform a Shane Sparks-choreographed routine, and crews from Season 1 (Break Sk8, Status Quo and Kaba Modern) will battle crews from Season 2 (Fanny Pak and SoReal Cru) for the honor of presenting a VMA award.  they will be dancing to video of the year nominees.

This could be a great battle, with the females in the spotlight.  Fanny Pak's Tiffani, Cara, Megan and Glenda versus Kaba Modern's Jia, Yuri and Cindy versus SoReal's Ailyn and Jackstar!

And here are the cities and dates for the tour.  I hope there'll be some surprise guests (Boogie Bots in D.C., Supreme Soul in Oakland, SoReal Cru in Houston?), but there haven't been any announcements on that front.

I was planning on going to the tour show but was very disappointed when I found out that SoReal Crew is not on the cast list! They still finished second and had huge fans who never put them in the bottom two in the entire season! Why are they not on the cast list?

Ticketmaster doesn't have the Boston date. Doesn't anyone know if it is still on?
