Friday April 22 – Nashville, TN – On the heels of a breakthrough year filled with a Grammy nomination, five ACM Award nominations, a CMT Award nomination, and just announced earlier this month six nominations for the upcoming 2022 Billboard Music Awards, Walker Hayes announces his new headlining arena tour called Glad You’re Here. The fifteen-city trek will kick off in Johnstown, PA on September 29, with special guest Parmalee and marks Hayes’ first time headlining arenas after selling out theaters across the country this spring on his 19-city The Fancy Like Tour.
Artist presale begins April 26 at 10 am Local, with tickets on sale on Friday April 29 at 10 am Local.

I’m just so grateful.” The new tour gets its name from another first for Hayes, his forthcoming book “Glad You’re Here” written with his best friend, Craig Allen Cooper. Craig will likely sound familiar to fans, as it’s the name of a beloved Hayes song in which he documents the day a pastor he barely knew – Craig – gifted the Hayes family a car during a time of need. It helped the family through one of their toughest moments and led Hayes down his path towards finding hope in Christ.

The book is set for release May 3 – pre-order HERE. Not even a year ago, Hayes released the smash-hit “Fancy Like” which catapulted him into super-stardom. In addition to hitting number one at country radio, the track held the number one spot on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart for over six months, and saw Hayes perform everywhere from the American Music Awards to the halftime show of the AFC Championship game.
His follow up “AA,” is currently climbing the radio charts, holding firm on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart, and recently found Hayes on this year’s ACM Awards and CMT Music Awards performing the hit single.
Now, Hayes takes these songs, plus his deep catalogue of fan favorites like “Don’t Let Her” and “90s Country,” and the RIAA multi-Platinum “You Broke Up With Me,” on the road for his arena headlining Glad You’re Here Tour.
