“From The Ground Up,” the
impactful first song released from Dan
+ Shay’s critically acclaimed sophomore album, Obsessed, hit No.1 on both the Mediabase and Billboard Country Charts. So what better way to celebrate than for
the Warner Bros. Records/Warner Music Nashville Platinum-selling recording duo
to announce the Obsessed
Tour.
Earning its name from the title
of their hit album and its title track, which was directly inspired by fans,
the headlining tour will also feature special guest singer/songwriter Walker Hayes. The Obsessed
Tour kicks off Nov. 10 in
Denver, Colorado and will hit 15 cities across the U.S. and Canada through Dec.
17, including their first ever tour stop in Honolulu, Hawaii.
“We have been so humbled by the response to our new album, and can’t wait to perform live for our fans this fall,” said Dan Smyers. “Our fans inspired the title of the Obsessed album, so it was only fitting to name the tour after the album.”
“We are also so grateful to everyone for help making ‘From The Ground Up’ No. 1,” added Shay Mooney. “This is such a personal song for both of us, and we are thrilled that people have loved the song as much as we do.”
They previously announced details of a 4-date headline tour in the UK this autumn.

Obsessed follows Dan + Shay’s 2014 debut Where It All Began, which made them the first new country duo in SoundScan recorded history to debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Albums Chart. The album included the debut single, “19 You + Me” which earned RIAA Platinum certification, and their first No. 1 single, “Nothin’ Like You,” which earned RIAA Gold certification. Racking up more than 42 million YouTube views, the pair has impressively sold more than two million digital tracks and more than 500,000 album equivalents to date, including 200 million streams. They have previously earned three consecutive nominations for ACM “Vocal Duo of the Year” and two nominations for CMA’s Vocal Duo of the Year award as well as nods for an American Country Countdown Awards, CMT Awards, and Radio Disney Music Awards. The pair finished up 2015 with their sold-out headlining Just the Right Kind of Crazy Tour and is currently on the road with Darius Rucker this summer on the Good for a Good Time Tour.
Released on May 3, 2016, Walker Hayes' 8 Tracks (Vol. 1): Good S**tpooled together some of the Alabama native's best work tapes from songwriting sessions. These raw productions exploded online, quickly garnering placement on Spotify’s Viral Chart and catching the ear of syndicated radio host Bobby Bones, who played the song "Shades" — declaring it the song of the summer — and the powerful "Beer in the Fridge." On Aug. 19, 2016, Hayes released 8 Tracks (Vol. 2): Break The Internet, and features poignant tracks like "Comedian" and "Halloween." Hayes is currently in the studio working on his full-length album with songwriter/producer Shane McAnally (Sam Hunt, Kacey Musgraves).
