Knoxville Prepares for Morgan Wallen Concerts at Neyland Stadium This September

Knoxville Gears Up for Morgan Wallen Concerts at Neyland Stadium

Knoxville, Tennessee is buzzing with excitement as country music star Morgan Wallen prepares for his much-anticipated concerts at Neyland Stadium. Scheduled for September 20 and 22, these shows promise not only to deliver Wallen’s chart-topping hits but also feature some incredible opening acts that are sure to get the crowd energized.

Opening Acts Bring a Unique Sound

Wallen’s support acts, ERNEST and HARDY, are both noteworthy artists in their own right, and fans are eager to see what they bring to the stage. ERNEST, a Nashville native, has made headlines with his recent collaboration with Wallen, resulting in the No. 1 song “Cowgirls.” He’s also been busy working with notable artist Post Malone, contributing to 14 songs on Malone’s latest country album.

HARDY, born Michael Hardy, is also making waves this summer with his album “Quit!!” His reputation as one of Nashville’s busiest songwriters is growing, and he’s on the way to having a remarkable career with already three-dozen No. 1 hits either as a singer or songwriter by the time he reaches the age of 40. Both performers are known for their unique styles that blend elements of classic country with modern sounds. As ERNEST described, the concert will showcase “40 minutes of my traditional sounds, HARDY doing an hour-long rock and roll show, then 90 minutes of the Morgan Wallen effect.” Sounds like the perfect mix for any country music fan!

Exciting Possibilities

There’s also been chatter among fans about whether Post Malone might make a surprise appearance during one of the concerts. Although he is not listed as a performer, his recent collaborations with both ERNEST and HARDY have stirred speculation. His busy schedule, which has him performing in various states around the same time, makes it unlikely but not impossible that he could show up, especially for the Sunday show on September 22.

Concert Details

Fans can expect doors to open at 5 p.m., with the show officially kicking off at 6:30 p.m. As excitement builds, tickets are selling quickly. There are still some options available, including VIP packages and obstructed view seats, but those interested should act fast to secure their spot at this thrilling concert experience.

A Community Impact

In a related but heartwarming note, it’s worth mentioning a recent event where Tom Walsh, a music teacher at Adrian Burnett Elementary in Knoxville, received a surprise $20,000 grant from the Morgan Wallen Foundation. During a school assembly on September 29, Walsh was recognized for his dedication to music education, highlighting Wallen’s commitment to giving back to the community.

Conclusion

The upcoming concerts featuring Morgan Wallen with ERNEST and HARDY are not just significant musical events; they also represent the spirit of community and the intersection of local talent and national stars. With a lineup that promises to captivate fans and the possibility of surprise guests, these shows in Knoxville are set to be unforgettable.

As fans mark their calendars and make plans for these concert dates, the excitement is palpable. It’s an event that embodies the rich musical tapestry of Tennessee, and everyone is ready to enjoy a night filled with great music and vibrant energy.
