Dan + Shay arrive at Empower FCU Amphitheater on September 25 with a new album barely five weeks old and a touring footprint that will stretch across 26 North American markets by November. The Young Tour — named for their sixth studio record — represents the kind of scaled fall amphitheater run that their catalog and audience now routinely support. Showtime is 7:00 PM.
About Dan + Shay
Danielle Smyers and Shay Mooney have built one of contemporary country music’s more quietly formidable commercial operations. Three consecutive GRAMMY Awards for Best Country Duo/Group Performance describes a run that tends to get underestimated precisely because it has arrived without obvious drama — just steady chart performance, massive streaming numbers, and an audience that keeps expanding. Their 2023 album Bigger Houses delivered a GRAMMY-nominated, number-one title track — the duo’s eleventh number-one at country radio — while their global stream count has surpassed 14 billion plays.
Young, their sixth studio album, arrives August 21, 2026 via Warner Records Nashville — five weeks before the Syracuse date. Two singles have circulated ahead of the full release: “Say So” and the title track, which received its live debut at the ACM Awards. Whether the record pushes into new territory or consolidates what already works, the supporting tour has been built to scale: 26 dates across amphitheaters and arenas nationwide, with Josh Ross supporting on most dates and Tyler Hubbard joining on select stops.
About Empower FCU Amphitheater
Empower FCU Amphitheater sits at 490 Restoration Way in Syracuse — a 6,500-capacity outdoor venue and the principal dedicated amphitheater in the Syracuse / Central NY region. For an act that has played indoor arenas on this same tour cycle, this is a deliberate mid-scale booking: large enough to carry full production, close enough to the audience that the outdoor dynamic actually works in the duo’s favor. Late September tends to be the most reliable stretch for outdoor shows in upstate New York — the summer humidity is gone, the leaves haven’t fully turned, and the evenings cool just enough to make a 7:00 PM start feel intentional rather than arbitrary.
