“We have been holding on to the hope that something might shift, something might change, that we might actually be able to make these shows happen,” said Dan, in part, in the video. “But unfortunately, as of now, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be possible out of the respect and safety of our fans, our band, our crew and everyone involved. So, what we’ve decided to do is move the entire tour from 2020 to 2021.”

Dan + Shay kicked off their 2020 Arena Tour with back-to-back shows in Nashville on March 6 and 7, followed by a stop in Columbus, Ohio, on March 8. On March 12, however, the duo was forced to cancel their remaining dates in March and April due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with plans to resume on July 30 through October 31.

Dan reassured fans that they would announce new 2021 dates as soon as they had them locked down. Furthermore, he let fans know they would be able to request a refund within 30 days of the announcement of new dates if they are unable to attend the rescheduled show.
