Brian Ziff; ABC/Image Group LACountry duo Dan + Shay must be “Speechless” with excitement: Shawn Mendes has tapped them to open for him on his upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand.
The duo, who first crossed over to the pop charts with their hit “Tequila,” followed by “Speechless,” will join Shawn starting this October in Perth, Australia. They’ll also open for Sean in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. Some additional tickets for those dates are going on sale April 1.
Sean’s currently in Europe with opening act Alessia Cara. When the European and U.K. shows wrap up, he’ll head to North America for more concerts starting June 12 in Portland, Oregon. Alessia will open the U.S. dates on that tour leg but strangely — considering she’s Canadian — not the Canadian dates.
Meanwhile Dan + Shay are set to duet with Kelly Clarkson on the upcoming Academy of Country Music Awards, which air on CBS Sunday, April 7.
