Morgan Wallen starting a North American tour at Milwaukee's American Family Field in April


Milwaukee will be the starting point for the North American portion of country music icon Morgan Wallen's One Night at a Time World Tour.


The earliest date for a stadium performance in Milwaukee history, April 15, will see Wallen perform at American Family Field. (Again, I'd like to thank the retractable roof.) On April 28, 2018, Kenny Chesney performed at what was once Miller Park.


On March 15, Wallen's tour kicks off in Auckland, New Zealand, one month early.


For Wallen's Milwaukee performance, the lineup included Hardy, Ernest, and Bailey Zimmerman. On June 23, Wallen will make a stop at Wrigley Field in Chicago as part of his tour.


At the beginning of 2021, Wallen's record "Dangerous: The Double Album" held the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart for three weeks before a video emerged of him using a racial epithet. He lost his booking agency, country radio stations briefly pulled his songs, and the ACM Awards disqualified him that year, among other serious consequences. Additionally, he postponed other musical dates, including a Country Thunder show that was supposed to take place in Wisconsin that summer.


Wallen expressed regret and, according to USA TODAY, followed through on a promise to provide $500,000 to groups that support Black people. As "Dangerous" continued to perform well, it broke the record for the longest-running solo album of any genre in Billboard magazine's Top 10 earlier this fall.


His shows have achieved commercial success as well. Wallen performed at a sold-out Resch Center in April, the biggest grossing show in the 20-year history of the Green Bay venue, in addition to serving as the main act for Country Thunder in Wisconsin this summer.


On December 9, tickets will go on sale at 2 p.m. via Ticketmaster and morganwallen.com. Registration for Ticketmaster's verified presale is open until noon on December 4, and presales will be accessible to registrants from 2 p.m. on December 7 until 10 p.m. on December 8. On December 7, at 2 p.m., VIP packages, platinum tickets, and aisle seat deals go on sale. Prices for tickets weren't immediately available, but the Brewers have said that a transaction restriction of 8 tickets will apply.


After the pandemic, which prevented live performances for the majority of 2020 and half of 2021, American Family Field featured three tours in 2022, the most in a calendar year since the stadium's 2001 debut as Miller Park.


For 2023, that record has already been tied. In addition to Wallen, George Strait, a country music icon, will perform in Milwaukee on June 3 as part of one of just six stadium concerts alongside Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town next summer.


Additionally, on August 14, Pink will bring her Summer Carnival stadium tour to American Family Field. On the schedule are Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, Grouplove, and Milwaukee-born DJ KidCutUp, Pink's touring DJ.
