Dreamy pop chanteuse Dido kicks off her fifteen-date North American tour on July 30 at the Op Sail 2000 in Portland, Maine. Formerly of the platinum trip-hop outfit Faithless, Dido launched her solo career in 1999 with No Angel, which spawned the hit single, "Here With Me." The song was chosen as opening theme for the WB's otherworldly teen drama Roswell and her "Thank You" (also from her solo debut No Angel) was sampled on Eminem's "Stan." In addition to the solo dates, Dido will open for Sting in Berkeley, Calif., Aug. 11 and 12.
