Walker Hayes will embark on his new headlining “Glad You’re Here Tour” this fall, kicking off in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on Sept. 29.
After selling out theaters across the country this spring on “The Fancy Like Tour,” the upcoming tour marks Hayes’ first time headlining arenas. Along the way, he will be accompanied by special guest Parmalee.
Hayes has had a breakthrough year filled with a Grammy nomination, five ACM nominations, a CMT Award nomination, and six nominations for the upcoming 2022 Billboard Music Awards. Hayes scored a No. 1 at country radio with the smash-hit “Fancy Like,” which also stayed at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart for over six months. His follow up, “AA,” is currently climbing the radio charts and recently found Hayes performing it at the ACM Awards and CMT Music Awards.
The singer will take his recent hits, plus his deep catalog of fan favorites such as “Don’t Let Her,” “90s Country,” and the RIAA multi-Platinum “You Broke Up With Me,” on the road this fall.
“I can’t believe that we are playing arenas,” says Hayes. “It’s mind blowing how our team is growing, how the crowds are growing, and how the music continues to connect with my audience. I’m just so grateful.”
Pre-sale begins April 26 at 10 a.m. local time, and Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, April 26 at 8 a.m. local time. Tickets will go on sale to the general public starting April 29 at 10 a.m. local time.
The new tour gets its name from Hayes’ forthcoming book Glad You’re Here, written with his best friend, Craig Allen Cooper, who is the namesake of a beloved Hayes song in which he documents the day a pastor he barely knew gifted the Hayes family a car during a time of need. The book is set for release May 3.
