See how Morgan Wallen sent a fiery message at his tour opener
Country singer Morgan Wallen had a few surprises on opening weekend of his “I’m The Problem” tour in Houston.
Morgan Wallen is bringing his “Still the Problem” tour to stadiums across the country. Unfortunately for hometown fans, Neyland Stadium did not make the roster.
The Knoxville star announced an extension of his “I’m the Problem” tour, dubbed “Still the Problem,” on Oct. 30. Wallen is set to visit an additional 11 cities across the country with 21 shows, but none in Tennessee, according to Wallen’s X announcement.
However, two show dates are still blurred out, slated for June 26 and 27. So don’t count out the Volunteer State just yet.
Wallen posted his big announcement on stilltheproblem.com and X, formerly Twitter, after building immense anticipation within his fanbase throughout October.
Morgan Wallen teases ‘Still the Problem’
Morgan Wallen first teased a possible “I’m the problem” tour extension on his Instagram Oct. 13. The singer posted a reel of photos with the caption “What I do when I’m trying to decide if ima tour in ‘26 or not.”
In recent days, Wallen’s hints have intensified.
On Oct. 29, multiple football arenas posted the same image to their X accounts throughout the afternoon: a football embellished with a bear wearing the No. 7 jersey, carrying a little helmet embossed with Wallen’s initials.
Nationwide Arena, the University of Florida, the University of Michigan, Baltimore Ravens and more posted Wallen’s famous “Norris Bear” design.
Club Wallen, the official fan Instagram page for the Knoxville singer, posted a cryptic Morse code message for fans on Oct. 28.
The dots and dashes message spelled out “Still the Problem.” This phrase matched a new website with only a red and black radar image and a countdown clock for fans.
The clock ended at 9 a.m. Thursday, when Wallen finally announced the long-awaited tour dates and locations.
