Nashville Honky Tonk bars that opened in 2024
County stars like Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Morgan Wallen and Garth Brooks all opened honky tonks in Nashville in 2024.
Morgan Wallen is gearing up for a big announcement, and fans think it might be a 2026 tour.
A recent Instagram post from Club Wallen, Wallen’s official fan club, shows the phrase “still the problem” written in Morse code, a nod to the country star’s May album “I’m The Problem.”
At a brand new website by the same name, stilltheproblem.com, a mysterious countdown has appeared.
With about 17 hours left on the countdown, the time will run out at 9 a.m. CT on Oct. 30. Alongside the clock is a radar, which spins over a map of the U.S., lighting up certain parts of the map.

Though there’s been no formal tour announcement, online sleuths are putting two and two together.
“Release the DATES!!!!” one Instagram commenter said.
“Anyone else prepared to take out a loan to fund whatever’s about to happen?” another said.
“Well, guess the kids aren’t getting Christmas this year,” someone quipped.
Wallen wrapped up his 2025 “I’m The Problem” tour in September after playing stadium shows in the U.S. and Canada.
The reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year dropped his 37-track record earlier this year, and it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
He released a standalone cover of Nothing But Thieves’ “Graveyard Whistling” on Oct. 17, reimagining the rock track with a country twist.
