Why Don't We Sell Out Radio City Music Hall In Under 2 Hours

Atlantic recording group Why Don't We have sold out New York City's famed Radio City Music Hall in less than two hours, as part of their upcoming 8 Letters Tour. Set for spring 2019, the cross-country marks the group's most extensive North American headline tour to date. For complete details and ticket availability, please visit whydontwemusic.com.

The forthcoming tour supports Why Don't We's just released debut full length album, 8 Letters, which debuted in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 at #9. Upon its release, the album immediately shot to #1 on iTunes' Overall Albums chart ahead of artists like Eminem, Ariana Grande, and Drake among others. A worldwide phenomenon, the album also topped charts in over 20 more territories around the globe. 8 Letters is available now at all music retailers and streaming services - download/stream here.

Last week, thousands of Why Don't We fans packed New York City's Rockefeller Plaza and the surrounding streets to watch the group's special Labor Day concert for NBC's TODAY, drawing the show's biggest crowd of the summer (watch). The group also appeared on the nationally syndicated Live with Kelly and Ryan along with MTV's TRL, and will make their late night debut on CBS' The Late Late Show with James Corden (airing Tuesday, September 11th - check local listings).

The band will soon resume their massive world tour, which has recently taken their exhilarating live show overseas throughout Asia (including stops in Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, and the Philippines) and Australia. October will see Why Don't We crossing the Atlantic for their biggest European tour thus far, with shows scheduled in Spain, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom, culminating in an October 25th finale at London's famed Eventim Apollo Hammersmith.

This fall, Why Don't We is also set to release their official autobiography, In The Limelight. Published by Harper Collins, the book features never-before-seen photos and behind-the-scenes info about the young group's incredible journey. In The Limelight is set for release on October 30th - more information here.

Amassing more than 200 million global audio streams, 3 million Instagram followers, and total You Tube views exceeding 250 million with over 2 million subscribers in under 2 years, Why Don't We has become one of pop music's biggest breakout stories. Taking an innovative and unconventional approach towards releasing new music and actively engaging their rapidly growing fanbase, the prolific young group - the quintet ranges in age from 17-20 years old - put out four EPs in under 12 months. The group closed 2017 on a high note, performing on the entire iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour, including the NYC stop at Madison Square Garden where they shared the stage with Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Camilla Cabello and more. The band has sold out back-to-back North American headlining tours, including their biggest trek to date earlier this year that was highlighted by multiple nights in NYC, LA, Chicago, and Toronto. High profile national television appearances include performances on NBC's TODAY, ABC's Good Morning America, nationally syndicated Live with Kelly and Ryan, and more. Press highlights include features in Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, and TIME among others.

WHY DON'T WE is: Daniel Seavey, Zach Herron, Corbyn Besson, Jonah Marais, and Jack Avery
