Shedd Aquarium

Daya at the Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater

Thu, Jul 02 , 2026 • 7:00pm

2686 East Cantrell Street, Decatur, IL 62521

A Grammy Award winner before the age of 20, Daya has spent her life in the spotlight—and on her own terms.

Bursting onto the scene as a fearless synth-pop innovator, she made an immediate impact with her double-platinum debut single “Hide Away,” co-written while she was still in high school. She followed that success by teaming up with The Chainsmokers on the global smash “Don’t Let Me Down,” a chart-topping dance anthem that sold more than 10 million copies in the U.S. alone.

At the height of major-label success, Daya made a bold move: she reclaimed her independence and creative control. Now fully in the driver’s seat, her music has never sounded brighter, bolder, or more authentic. Dreamy and ethereal one moment, pulse-pounding and kinetic the next, Daya’s sound reflects an artist who isn’t afraid to explore every corner of her creativity.

Her critically acclaimed EPs, The Difference and In Between Dreams, followed her gold-certified debut album Sit Still, Act Pretty, blending pop, R&B, and electronic influences while showcasing her evolution as both an artist and a person. A songwriter since age 12, Daya balances euphoric melodies with irresistible beats, earning multiple gold and platinum singles and collaborations across genres—from EDM and pop to hip-hop and alternative.

Whether collaborating with artists like Felix Cartal, Snakehips, and Earthgang or experimenting with pop-punk, folk, and alternative sounds, Daya continues to redefine herself. With new music on the horizon, her journey of self-discovery is just getting started—and audiences are invited along for the ride.
