Platinum-selling country music star Chris Young kicked off the opening weekend of his "Chris Young Losing Sleep 2018 World Tour," with three back-to-back SOLD OUT headlining shows in Indianapolis, Kansas City and St. Louis! Chris played a 90-minute, hit-packed set, with the St. Louis Post Dispatch declaring "when it's 20 degrees outside with a cold wind whipping...the act fans are going to hear needs to deliver...country singer Chris Young did that better than the post office, FedEx and Amazon combined."
Proclaimed "a headliner...capable of stirring an audience in ways very few in country music can" (Taste of Country) and a performer who "seems so comfortable on stage that fans felt like they could be hanging out with him in a bar or even a living room while he breaks into oh-so-satisfying song" (St. Louis Post Dispatch), the Grammy-nominated singer welcomed his Sony Music Nashville label mates Kane Brown and LANCO as special guests for the first leg of the tour.

At the age of 32 the RCA Records artist has seven albums to his credit, including the Platinum-certified Neon and 2015's Gold-certified I'm Comin' Over, which earned multiple ACM, BBMA, CMA, CMT, Grammy and RDMA nominations and scored three consecutive chart-topping singles. A prolific creator, Losing Sleep is Chris's third project in less than two years.
