Morgan Wallen coming to West Palm Beach — here’s how to get tickets
Country star Morgan Wallen, whose record-setting 2022 included the most buzzed-about performance at this year’s Tortuga Music Festival, will return to South Florida on May 5 with a concert at iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach.
Tickets are scheduled to go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at MorganWallen.com. According to the tour, there is no official pre-sale for Wallen’s U.S. dates.
Opening acts in West Palm Beach will be
Bailey Zimmerman (“Fall in Love,” “Rock and a
Hard Place”) and Ernest (“Flower Shops”).
Wallen’s One Night at a Time World Tour, which includes stadium and amphitheater concerts in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, takes its name from one of three just-released songs.
The singer says the new music — “One Thing at a Time,” “Tennessee Fan” and “Days That End In Why” — offers a taste of the 2023 album he’s working on. The songs join recent hits “You Proof ” and the poignant “Thought You Should Know,” co-written with Miranda Lambert and Nicolle Galyon.
It’s been less than two months since Wallen ended his record-breaking 2022 Dangerous Tour, which took its name from his career-changing double album, “Dangerous” — Billboard’s longest-running Top 10 album for a solo artist, eclipsing Adele’s “21” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA.”
The album featured hits such as “More Than My Hometown,” “7 Summers,” “Sand in My Boots” and “Wasted on You.”
Wallen’s Dangerous Tour included more than 50 shows in its eight-month run and broke records in 30 venues. His show at Globe Life Field near Dallas was the fastest sellout in the venue’s history and surpassed attendance records previously held by Elton John and Lady Gaga.
As on his previous tour, $3 of every ticket sold for U.S. dates on the One Night at a Time World
Tour will benefit Wallen’s More Than My Hometown Foundation. The organization has supported Greater Good Music, Children Are People, The Salvation Army and National Museum of African American Music.
Wallen’s 2023 tour will include three other Florida performances: May 4 at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, May 6 at MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, and June 3 at the Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam festival in Panama City Beach.
