After a record-breaking and career-defining year, chart-topping duo Dan + Shay announced a surprise headlining tour today (Oct. 22), the “Dan + Shay The Tour,” which launches Feb. 28 in New Orleans. The duo will be joined by labelmate Morgan Evans during the first leg and Big Loud Records’ Chris Lane for the second.
Fan presale is already available with password TEQUILA, and tickets for the general public will go on sale Friday, Oct. 26 at 10 a.m. local time.
One week after their hit single “Tequila” reached 100 million streams on Spotify, the platinum-selling country stars released a new version of the viral smash along with their cover of Lady Gaga’s “Million Reasons” as Spotify Singles. “Tequila” continues to take the world by storm as the most-streamed country song released in 2018, recently certified Double Platinum in Canada and surpassing two million US track equivalent sales.
The skyrocketing duo has even more to celebrate after receiving a 2018 CMA Awards nomination for Duo of the Year along with three additional nods for Song (Dan Smyers), Single, and Video of the Year (“Tequila”). Keeping the momentum going, Dan + Shay have also received two American Music Awards nominations for Favorite Song – Country (“Tequila”) and Favorite Duo or Group. Their latest smash “Speechless” has earned 92 million on-demand streams and sold almost 700,000 track equivalents.
They will join Chris Young for the fall leg on his “Losing Sleep” Tour this month and will continue to share new music alongside their collection of No. 1 hits across the globe with a headlining UK tour kicking off Jan. 17, 2019.
