From a press release:

Today, reigning ACM Group of the Year and CMA Vocal Group of the Year Old Dominion announced a new leg to their renowned No Bad Vibes Tour.

Visiting over 30 additional arenas nationwide, the country band will kick off this new round of dates on Sept. 7 at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan and wrap their continental U.S. tour dates at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena in December.

In between, this trek includes a stop at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza (255 Highland Park Blvd., Wilkes-Barre Twp.) on Thursday, Nov. 30 at 7:30 p.m. with special guests Chase Rice and Kylie Morgan.

Tickets, which start at $29, go on sale this Friday, May 5 at 10 a.m. at axs.com; tickets will be sold online exclusively on AXS. American Express Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning Tuesday, May 2 at 10 a.m. through Thursday, May 4 at 10 p.m.

Old Dominion has been crisscrossing the United States on their No Bad Vibes Tour since January, playing high-energy shows in sold-out arenas to thousands of excited fans. After a recent stop in the desert for a performance at the Stagecoach Festival in California this past weekend, the band’s tour will next stop at the Enmarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia on May 5.

The group’s tour announcement comes off the heels of the group’s recent Academy of Country Music Awards nomination for Group of the Year, making this the eighth consecutive year Old Dominion has been nominated in the category. They have taken home the title the last five years.

Old Dominion also recently debuted their critically acclaimed new single “I Should Have Married You” (Columbia Nashville/Sony Music Nashville). The track was written and produced by Old Dominion’s Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen, Whit Sellers, Geoff Sprung, and Brad Tursi alongside award-winning songwriter Shane McAnally.

Old Dominion emerged as one of Nashville’s most successful post-modern country bands, fusing clever lyrics with an infectious sound. Their lyrical wit and hook heavy songwriting is a winning proposition. Since breaking onto the scene, they have achieved eight No. 1 singles on country radio, over one billion on-demand streams, multiple platinum and gold single certifications, and headlined arenas and amphitheaters around the globe. The band also earned nominations for Album of the Year at the 2022 CMA Awards and for Favorite Country Duo or Group at the 2022 American Music Awards.

Rolling Stone described them as “country music’s premier craftsmen,” and Billboard said, “Old Dominion clearly know the songwriting recipe for success.”

“This five-piece have been shaping the sound of country radio, both with hits of their own and those they pen for stars,” the New York Times wrote.

“There’s a trajectory that never descended for the band,” American Songwriter noted.

“As their career continues, they seem to only get better and better,” Forbes concluded.
