Country act Dan + Shay are coming to Dallas: The duo has extended its 2024 The Heartbreak On The Map Tour, and will now include a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Friday, August 30.

Originally scheduled to run from February 29-April 13 and to hit only 19 cities, the tour has been extended through the summer, picking up on July 18 in Cincinnati, Ohio, then traveling to 30 more cities over two months, before ending on September 12 in Denver, Colorado.

Dallas is one of two new dates added in Texas, along with Houston on August 31.

Texas stops will now include:

Austin (March 7)
Fort Worth (March 8)
Dallas (August 30)
The Woodlands (August 31)

The tour is named after the third single, “Heartbreak On The Map,” from Dan + Shay's fifth album, Bigger Houses, which was released in September 2023.

They will also soon be returning to NBC's The Voice, this time as the first-ever coaching duo in the show’s history. They'll be joined on season 25 - which starts on February 26 - by Reba McEntire, John Legend, and Chance the Rapper.

Tickets for the tour will be available starting with presales beginning February 20 at 11 am, and a Dan + Shay presale at 12 pm. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on February 23 at 10 am.

Dallas star comedian Ralph Barbosa scores new special on Hulu

Dallas comedian Ralph Barbosa, whose laid-back yet hilarious style has won him multiple awards and national TV appearances, has a new stand-up special on Hulu. Called Ralph Barbosa: Planet Bosa, it'll come out on August 8.

According to Barbosa, filming took place at the Balboa Theatre in San Diego, California.

“My next comedy special will be with Hulu and Disney Plus — I guess I'm part of the Marvel cinematic universe now,” Barbosa said in his trademark droll manner.

The special features Barbosa’s takes on dating, his temper, working on cars, and current events.

This is his second comedy special following his Netflix debut, Cowabunga, which came out in 2023.

Barbosa, who describes himself as “the shyest attention hog,” was the 2019 winner of the Funniest Comic in Texas competition, and the 2021 winner of the New York Latino Film Festival Stand-Up; In 2024, he was nominated as one of Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch for.

He graduated from Mesquite High School and lived in Oak Cliff, working at a barbershop before his meteoric rise in comedy.

Planet Bosa is the tenth comedy special to roll out as part of Hulu’s Hularious lineup, which features other comics like Jim Gaffigan, Ilana Glazer, and Bill Burr. A new hour-long stand-up special is featured every month.

According to Hulu VP of Comedy Emily Furutani, the streaming platform wants to put more attention on stand-up and appeal to a wide audience.

“Comics work so hard on finessing their hour and we wanted to be known as the place that gives them the flowers they deserve,” Furutani says in a release. “When scouting for a Hulu comic, we look for three things: commerciality in their material, high quality material and the potential for the comedian to become part of the fabric of The Walt Disney Company.”

Barbosa’s most recent tour was The Butterfly Effect Tour with fellow comedian Rene Vaca. It was held in honor of Ken Flores, another featured comedian, who died of cardiac arrest in January before the tour started.
