Just days after wrapping his very first headlining tour, Walker Hayes has unveiled plans to embark on the headlining Duck Buck Tour in 2023. 

The tour will launch on April 13 and will visit 22 cities through August 5. Hayes will bring his live show to Boston, Nashville, St. Louis, and more with a stacked lineup of special guests.

Ingrid Andress will join him as direct support on most dates with BRELAND and Ray Fulcher joining in select cities. Additionally, Chris Lane and Nicolle Galyon will make a special appearance alongside Hayes when the Duck Buck Tour stops at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre on May 5. 

“I can’t wait to get back out on tour,” says Hayes. “Headlining an arena tour for the first time this past year was a dream come true. The whole family was able to come out and the road has become our new home away from home. All the fans that have come out or will come out are making this dream a reality. I owe it all to them, and this next tour will be the biggest and best. I don’t take for granted that they spent their hard-earned money on my shows, and I plan to make it well worth it!”

The Duck Buck Tour gets its name from Hayes’ latest project, Country Stuff The Album as he sings, “I like shooting ducks and bucks / I like mud tires on my trucks / I like old blue jeans, guitar strings and dirt roads.”

Following the release of “Country Stuff” the track, the Duck Buck has become synonymous with Hayes as it appears on his merch, social media accounts, and in his music videos.

The announcement of the Duck Buck Tour comes on the heels of yet another wildly successful for Walker Hayes. His latest single, “Y’all Life,” continues to climb the charts at country radio, while his newest release, “Face In The Crowd,” is making waves among his ever-growing fanbase. 

Inspired by his wife, Laney, the song details the feeling he gets when he sees his longtime love cheering him on from the side of the stage.

“When my 15 minutes ends / and the world loves me a little less / I hope you know that you’re the only one / I was trying to impress / if I sold out Bryant-Denny / made my sweet home so proud / all I ever cared about, all I ever cared about was your face in the crowd,” he sings on the chorus.
