Morgan Wallen announces homecoming Knoxville concert. Here's how to get tickets
View Date:2024-12-23 21:27:54
It’s happening! Morgan Wallen is coming home.
After teasing hometown fans in June, the country superstar and Gibbs High School graduate is coming back to Knoxville for a special concert Sept. 22 at Neyland Stadium. The concert is an added stop on his massive One Night at a Time tour.
Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster 11 a.m. July 17.
“I’m coming home,” Wallen wrote in the announcement shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, on July 15. The post included a video of the singer performing in Vols orange and clips of a full Neyland, with Rocky Top playing in the background.
“I’ve had the honor of playing in a lot of college, MLB and NFL stadiums the past two years, but getting to play to my hometown at Neyland Stadium, nothing tops this for a boy from East Tennessee,” Wallen said in a press release.

Morgan Wallen returning Tennessee baseball favor with Neyland concert
Wallen is a huge Tennessee baseball fan and was in Omaha, Nebraska, to see the Vols win the College World Series championship in June. He recorded a special message for the team following their win and teased a Knoxville concert as a thank you for hosting him.
"I just wanted to say that you and the university have been extremely hospitable to me and my family and my friends, especially in Omaha," Wallen said. "So I want to return the favor, and I'm going to return the favor. I can't tell you exactly how I'm going to do that just yet, but here in a couple or few weeks, I'll be able to let you know what I mean. So just stay tuned and I'll keep y'all posted on that."
Wallen is from Sneedville, Tennessee, and graduated in 2011 from Gibbs High School, where he was a pitcher and shortstop.

A hometown superstar
Wallen has found massive chart-topping success in recent years. He’s currently featured on the No. 2 song on the Billboard Hot 100, “I Had Some Help,” with Post Malone. His latest single, “Cowgirl,” just peaked on at the chart at No. 12.
His hit song “Last Night” has received over 1.5 billion streams globally and is the longest running No. 1 solo song in Hot 100 history (16 weeks total).
The New York Times deemed the 11-time 2023 Billboard Music Awards-winner as “one of the biggest stars in pop, period.” His third studio album, “One Thing At A Time” in 2023, topped the all-genre Billboard 200 chart for 19 non-consecutive weeks, surpassing the record for a country album set by Garth Brooks in 1991.
Coincidentally, Brooks was the last musical artist to headline Neyland Stadium. With a crowd of 84,000, Brooks' 2019 show broke the concert attendance record at the stadium. But Wallen just might break that record, too.
