After Zach Bryan's record-breaking performance last month, Morgan Wallen is set to become the second artist ever to grace the iconic Michigan Stadium. This event marks a significant milestone for both the country superstar and the venue, as Wallen will perform on July 24 and 25, 2024, according to an announcement from his team.
Tickets for this highly anticipated concert will go on sale at 10 a.m. on November 7, 2023. Fans eager to secure their spot can register for pre-sale now at the tour's official website, stilltheproblem.com. The concert will feature special guests, with Thomas Rhett joining Wallen on July 24 and Hardy taking the stage on July 25. Additionally, Hudson Westbrook and Blake Whiten will provide support for both concerts, part of Wallen's extensive 21-date Still the Problem Tour.
The Still the Problem Tour kicks off with two shows at Minneapolis' U.S. Bank Stadium on April 10-11, 2024, and culminates on August 1 at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field. Notable stops along the tour include performances at the University of Alabama's Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium on April 18 and the University of Florida's Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on May 15-16.
Wallen is dedicated to giving back, as a portion of every ticket sold will benefit the Morgan Wallen Foundation. This foundation supports music and athletic programs for youth and aids communities in accessing essential resources during times of crisis, as highlighted in the tour release.
The country star, 32, recently released his fourth studio album, I'm the Problem, in May 2023. The album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's album sales chart and impressively spent 12 non-consecutive weeks at the top. It includes the hit single What I Want, a duet with Tate McRae, which reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart for one week. Wallen's upcoming concerts are set against the backdrop of Zach Bryan's record-setting performance last month, which drew an astounding 112,408 attendees, making it the highest-attended ticketed concert in U.S. history.
The stage setup for Wallen's concerts remains uncertain, as it is unclear whether he will adopt the in-the-round format used by Bryan or opt for a more traditional end-stage configuration. The announcement of Wallen's concert was teased on the University of Michigan's social media channels, heightening fan excitement. On X, Michigan Athletics shared an image of a football featuring Wallen's logo, positioned at Michigan Stadium's 50-yard-line.
Despite facing personal controversies, including a widely publicized incident involving a racial slur and an April 2024 arrest, Wallen has successfully navigated challenges to become one of the music industry's biggest stars. His remarkable journey is highlighted by several tracks amassing over 1 billion streams on Spotify. Wallen's last concerts in the area were a pair of sold-out shows at Ford Field in June 2023, further solidifying his status as a top concert draw.
As anticipation builds for these historic concerts at Michigan Stadium, fans are eager to witness Morgan Wallen's electrifying performances and contribute to a cause that supports the community.
