The show is set for Thursday, October 29, at Ball Arena, with doors opening early and the music starting at 7:00 PM. The venue sits at 1000 Chopper Circle, and the Denver date is listed as club level seating, which is worth keeping in mind when you are picking your spot.

The tour is built around their sixth studio album, Young, which came out on August 21 through Warner Records Nashville. It is a ten-track record that Dan Smyers co-produced with Scott Hendricks, and it has given the tour its name and its backbone. The North American leg runs 26 dates, opening on September 11 in Noblesville, Indiana, and closing on November 7 in Mountain View, California, so Denver falls right in the middle of the run. Tyler Hubbard and Josh Ross are the special guests at most stops, and they are expected to open here as well.
If you are trying to decide between a standard ticket and a VIP package, the upgrades are where the perks live. The VIP tier adds entry to the Dan + Shay VIP Lounge, access to the Dan + Shay Tequila Bar with a drink token, light snacks, exclusive merchandise, an autographed gift, early entry, and a dedicated VIP check-in crew. Tickets are moving through Ticketmaster, Live Nation, and participating venues, and pricing and availability shift from show to show, so it is worth checking the listings sooner rather than later.
As for what you will actually hear, the setlist has been fairly consistent across the early dates. It opens with Speechless and works through Nothin' Like You, All to My Self, Marry You Again, Good Things, Glad You Exist, Her, the Kids, and Jesus, From the Ground Up, Dogs in Our Twenties, and You. There is a medley of Obsessed, Choosin' Texas, and Baby, followed by Alone Together, I Should Probably Go to Bed, That's Not How This Works, How Not To, Say So, 19 You + Me, Save Me the Trouble, Bigger Houses, 10,000 Hours, and Tequila. That is a long list, and it runs about an hour and 35 minutes on average, so settle in for a full night.
A bit of background for anyone who is new to them: Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney met in Nashville in December 2012 and have been going since. Smyers, born in Wexford, Pennsylvania, in 1987, came from the pop-punk world with bands like Transition and Bonaventure; Mooney, born in Natural Dam, Arkansas, in 1991, had a contract with T-Pain's Nappy Boy label before the duo. They made their Grand Ole Opry debut on February 1, 2014, and have since picked up three consecutive Grammys for Best Country Duo/Group Performance — Tequila in 2019, Speechless in 2020, and 10,000 Hours in 2021. Before they were headlining, they opened for the likes of Hunter Hayes, Blake Shelton, Thomas Rhett, Rascal Flatts, Chris Young, Florida Georgia Line, and Shawn Mendes. On stage, they are backed by Justin Richards on guitar, Dustin Hook on bass, Andrew Cook on drums, and Izaac Burkhart on guitar, keyboards, and vocals.
