Due to routing conflicts and their confirmed touring schedule in 2022, the duo's unable to reschedule these shows, but offer hope in the fact that some of the tour stops on Kenny Chesney's 2022 \"Here and Now Tour,\" for which they're opening acts, are near both cities.

On the upside, the twosome says they have some \"Christmas surprises\" in the works, teasing that the first surprise will be revealed on Wednesday morning, and they're \"VERY excited\" about it.

\"Thanks to the folks who were planning to attend the shows this week for understanding, we've been looking forward to them (for literally 2 years now lol), but promise we'll make it up to you in a big way soon,\" Dan + Shay conclude in the letter.

The Grammy-winning duo is currently scheduled to be on the road until Dec. 7.
