Knoxville Gears Up for Morgan Wallen’s Concerts at Neyland Stadium
Knoxville, Tennessee is buzzing with excitement as country music star Morgan Wallen prepares for his highly anticipated concerts at the iconic Neyland Stadium. Taking place on September 20 and September 22, these shows are not just about Wallen, as he has a couple of amazing opening acts lined up to kick off the performances.
Opening Acts Set to Rock the Stage
Joining Wallen on stage are two of the hottest names in country music today — HARDY and ERNEST. Both artists are carving out their legacy and have exciting careers that fans will definitely appreciate.
Starting off the night, HARDY, whose real name is Michael Hardy, will take the spotlight. This summer, he released his album titled “Quit!!”. Known for being one of Nashville’s busiest songwriters, Hardy has already made a name for himself with nearly three-dozen No. 1 hits under his belt by the age of 40. He has recently collaborated with Post Malone on a gripping murder ballad called “Hide My Gun,” showcasing his unique sound.
What to Expect from HARDY
HARDY describes his performance as a blend of various styles, promising a thrilling “hour-long rock and roll show” for attendees. He shared his excitement in a statement, emphasizing how his traditional sounds mesh with the energy of his fellow performers. It’s an event that fans are sure not to miss!
ERNEST Hits the Stage
Next up is ERNEST, another rising star from Nashville known for his catchy hit “Cowgirls” which has landed him a spot on the charts. His musical style stands out as he mixes classic country influences from legends like George Jones and Merle Haggard with a modern twist full of 90s R&B vibes. ERNEST has a track record of success, including collaboration on 14 songs with Post Malone on the latter’s new album, showcasing the versatility and depth of his musical talent.
The Possibility of a Special Guest
While Post Malone is not officially listed as a performer for the concerts, speculation is swirling around whether he might make a surprise appearance. Known for his chart-topping hit “I Had Some Help,” his busy performance schedule puts a potential cameo in jeopardy. He has other engagements in locations like Hershey, Pennsylvania, and Hartford, Connecticut, but fans are still hopeful he might drop by, especially on the second concert at Neyland Stadium.
Concert Details
Fans eager to attend should note that the doors will open at 5 p.m., with the show getting underway at 6:30 p.m. This gives attendees plenty of time to soak in the electric atmosphere of Neyland Stadium, which has a storied history as the home of the Tennessee Volunteers football team.
Ticket Availability
Tickets for these concerts are still available, including options for VIP packages and obstructed view seats, with resale options also in the mix. Whether you’re a die-hard Wallen fan or just looking for a great night of music, these concerts are sure to be a memorable experience.
As the clock counts down to the big days, the excitement in Knoxville continues to grow. With HARDY and ERNEST opening for Morgan Wallen, this promises to be a fantastic celebration of country music, right in the heart of Tennessee.
