After 10 years on the road as an opening act, Michael Ray is ready to be the big name on the bill. The country singer has announced his first headlining tour, called the Think a Little Less tour, which borrows its title from his current single.

Ray will kick off his first headlining tour on Oct. 14 in Phoenix, Ariz. and continue through Nov. 26 in Rome, Ga.

“So incredibly excited and grateful for my first official headlining tour,” Ray remarks in a press release. “Ten years of hard work has led me to this point. Lots of incredible music in store as well as a few surprises. Can’t wait to see you all out there!”

Over the past ten years, Ray has toured with Sam Hunt, Kip Moore and Brantley Gilbert, and more recently, he wrapped a summer tour with Darius Rucker. Fans can purchase tickets for the Think a Little Less Tour at Ray's website.
