Morgan Wallen is no longer in hibernation - and 70,000 fans in Minneapolis got proof on Friday night.

Wallen officially launched his 2026 Still the Problem Tour with a sold-out show at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on April 10, pulling out all the stops from the very first song. For fans who followed his months of silence after the I'm the Problem Tour, the wait was clearly worth it.

Before he even stepped on stage, a pre-show video featuring comedian Theo Von hyped the crowd, followed by Wallen's dramatic walkout entrance alongside NFL Hall of Famer Jared Allen as "Broadway Girls" blasted through the stadium. From that point, the energy never dropped.

His setlist spanned 28 songs over about 2 hours and 15 minutes, pulling from all four studio albums, with opening acts Vincent Mason, Gavin Adcock, and Thomas Rhett each joining him on stage at different points during the evening. 

The 23-date stadium run spans 12 cities through August, with Wallen playing two consecutive nights in most locations - including stops at four major college football stadiums: Michigan Stadium, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Bryant-Denny Stadium, and Clemson's Memorial Stadium.

Beyond the spectacle, there's a giving side to the tour worth noting. A portion of every ticket sold benefits the Morgan Wallen Foundation, which supports youth programs in sports and music - and has already contributed over $1 million worth of instruments to schools across U.S. tour cities. That kind of generosity reflects something deeper: a commitment to investing in the next generation - a value many in the faith community can appreciate.

With new music reportedly on the way and a stadium tour already in full roar, Wallen's 2026 run is shaping up to be the biggest of his career. Night two in Minneapolis was last night - and the rest of the country is next.
