David Archuleta headlines the 2011 Sun Fun Festival in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina over the weekend.
The 20-year-old musician not only introduced his new band members at the concert, but performed a slew of songs — which included songs from both his debut and his latest album, The Other Side of Down, with some new arrangements.
David also included a few covers — “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” by Tears For Fears, “Blackbird” by Paul McCartney and “Gotta Get Thru This” by Daniel Bedingfield. Check out some of his performances below!
He tweeted after the festival, “Had such a fun time tonight in Myrtle Beach!!! So refreshing doing a show again. Thanks to everyone who came!”

Can’t wait to see it!

The 20-year-old singer belted the tune out prior to witnessing the Nashville Predators defeat the Ducks, 4-3 in overtime. The Predators went on to win the series.
David also will be performing at the Invisible Children’s Break the Silence event in Nashville tonight. The Break the Silence event will take place at 18 venues across the country and a live video of the feed will stream online in order to help break the silence and raise money across the country.
The goal is for each person to raise $25 for The Protection Plan, which is Invisible Children’s campaign to protect people from the Lord’s Resistance Army violence in central Africa.
The 20-year-old musician first tweeted the video while in Delaware over the weekend, where he played a game of charity basketball for Duffy’s Hope.
David shared in a second video, “I think I have plenty of witnesses who were there to back me up, I can’t play basketball. Not even if it was to save my life (laughs). But it was fun! I had a great time and to help raise funds for the charity.”
David Archuleta “holds” up the Goodyear Blimp just before a ride on the Spirit of America late last week in California.
When Goodyear heard of the 20-year-old musician’s wish to get a ride on the blimp, they made it happen! The official Facebook posted, “Pilot-in-Charge Jon Conrad flew them along the scenic route up the California Coast along the Palos Verdes peninsula, and for over an hour he was rewarded with a private performance from David and his friends as they sang a medley of hit songs a cappella. A highlight of the once-in-a-lifetime flight for David was watching a pod of dolphins playing and chasing the SOA’s shadow on the water as it passed overhead.”
David tweeted, “Just got to do one of the coolest things I’ve always wanted to do!! Got to go on a blimp ride!!”
David Archuleta is a hands-on kind of guy in this new shot from his recent trip to India.
The 20-year-old “My Kind of Perfect” singer recently traveled overseas to India in support of Rising Star Outreach, where he learned first hand what the organization does and stands for.
Rising Star Outreach’s mission is to help the Leprosy colonies become thriving, self-sufficient communities. In India there are over 700 “leprosy colonies.”
