Country music superstar Morgan Wallen is officially heading back on the road next summer for his 2027 Last Time I Checked Tour. Announced on Thursday, November 12, 2026, the massive run promoted by AEG Presents will feature 14 stadium concerts across seven North American cities, with the singer performing two consecutive nights at every stop, according to the Buffalo Bills and SiriusXM. The summer itinerary kicks off on June 11, 2027, in Tampa, Florida, includes highly anticipated weekend residencies in Athens, Georgia, and the Buffalo, New York area, and concludes in Wallen's home state of Tennessee at Nashville's Nissan Stadium on August 27 and 28.

Joining Wallen on the stadium circuit is a stacked roster of country talent. Brooks & Dunn, HARDY, and Thomas Rhett will serve as rotating direct support throughout the run, while Cole Swindell and Stella Lefty are scheduled to appear on all 14 dates.

In keeping with tradition from his previous outings, a portion of every ticket sold will benefit the Morgan Wallen Foundation, which funds youth programs focused on sports and music.

Confirmed 2027 Stadium Cities and Schedule

Rather than routing an extensive multi-month arena trek, Wallen is concentrating his 2027 touring footprint into major football stadiums, booking back-to-back nights in each market. According to reporting from iHeart Country and SiriusXM, the seven-city routing includes stops in Tampa, Foxborough, Columbus, Arlington, Athens, the Buffalo market, and Nashville.

The tour officially opens on June 11, 2027, with two consecutive nights at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. Other major football venues confirmed on the schedule include Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, and AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, before the summer run wraps up at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on August 27 and 28, 2027.

Two of the marquee mid-summer stops have already drawn intense regional spotlight: Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia, and Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York.

As reported by 247Sports and Online Athens, the University of Georgia confirmed that Wallen will play between the hedges at Sanford Stadium on Friday, July 16, and Saturday, July 17, 2027. The Athens bookings follow a successful return to live music for the venue last April, when Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan drew a sold-out crowd of 63,000 fans—accompanied by a surprise guest appearance from Georgia head football coach Kirby Smart—for the stadium's first concert since 2013. Wallen is one of two major acts currently locked in for Sanford Stadium in 2027, alongside indie folk star Noah Kahan, who is slated to perform on April 24.

The following weekend, the tour heads north to New York. Wallen will headline Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park on Friday, July 23, and Saturday, July 24, 2027, according to buffalobills.com and WIVB. While the official announcement from the Buffalo Bills and iHeart identify the venue simply as Highmark Stadium, reporting from The Buffalo News describes the site for the 2027 concerts as the new Highmark Stadium.

Prior to Thursday's confirmation, country music outlet Holler noted that local fans had been speculating about a massive addition to the 63,000-capacity venue's 2027 calendar, which already features headline dates from Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan, Metallica, and Kenny Chesney.

Chart Milestones and Recent Touring Momentum

The 2027 announcement arrives on the heels of Wallen's massive 2026 Still The Problem Tour, which sold out 23 stadium concerts across 12 North American cities. During that run, the 33-year-old singer became the first artist in history to headline two consecutive nights at both Michigan Stadium and Clemson University's Memorial Stadium. He also brought live music back to Alabama's Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium, marking the venue's first concert in 43 years following Hank Williams Jr.'s 1983 performance.

Wallen's box office draw is backed by sustained commercial dominance on the charts.

His latest album, I'm The Problem, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in May 2025, logging 14 non-consecutive weeks atop the chart and remaining in the Top 10 ever since. Analytics firm Luminate named the project the most popular album in the United States across all genres for the first six months of 2025, a title it repeated for the first six months of 2026.

On country radio, his single "Been By Now" recently reached No. 1 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart, while his earlier hit "You Proof" remains the longest-running Billboard Country Airplay No. 1 song of all time with 10 non-consecutive weeks at the summit. Wallen, who has won 14 Billboard Music Awards and was named Entertainer of the Year at the 58th Annual Country Music Association Awards, is also the only artist to have two albums spend at least 100 weeks in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200.

Notably, sources differ slightly on his career radio tally: the official tour announcement published by the Buffalo Bills states that "Been By Now" marks his 23rd career No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart, making him the fastest artist in history to reach that benchmark, whereas 247Sports notes he has had 21 songs hit No. 1 on the Country Music Airplay charts.

Beyond traditional album cycles, Wallen recently expanded into the gaming world by releasing the track "Last Thing You Need" for the Grand Theft Auto VI soundtrack, where he also voices the character MW as host of the in-game radio station "Back Country Radio." Ahead of his stadium tour kick-off in June, he will also headline the return of his three-day Sand In My Boots Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama, from May 21 to 23, 2027, alongside fellow headliners Ella Langley and Kings of Leon.

Presale Schedule, Tickets, and Fan FAQ

With high demand expected across all seven cities, tour organizers have structured a staggered presale system for fans looking to secure seats before the general public on-sale.

When do presales and general ticket sales begin?

Fans can register for presale access now at LastTimeICheckedTour.com. According to local reporting from WIVB and Holler, the presale sequence separates each city's two dates: presales for night-one performances begin on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, while presales for night-two shows open on Wednesday, November 18, 2026. There is a slight discrepancy in reporting regarding the final registration cutoff: official releases via the Buffalo Bills and SiriusXM state that presale registration remains open through Thursday, November 19, at 10 p.m. ET, while an iHeart Country report lists the deadline as 10 a.m. ET on November 19. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, November 20, 2026, at 10 a.m. local time.

Because the direct support acts rotate by night, the lineup changes across the two-day stands. For both the Athens and Buffalo stops, the Friday and Saturday lineups follow the same pairing structure.

On the first night in Athens (July 16) and the first night in Buffalo (July 23), Wallen will be joined by Thomas Rhett, Cole Swindell, and Stella Lefty.
