Country superstar Morgan Wallen coming to Truist Park in 2023
Country megastar Morgan Wallen will perform at Truist Park for the first time on Friday, June 2, 2023, as part of a major international tour.
Truist usually hosts a handful of concerts each summer when the Atlanta Braves are on the road. This past season included Lady Gaga, the Zac Brown Band and the one-two punch of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane’s Addiction.
Parker McCollum will open for Wallen at Truist, which is one of 17 stadiums where he’ll be performing.
Tickets for the Ticketmaster Verified Fan Presale go on sale Wednesday, Dec. 7. The general on-sale will begin on Friday, Dec. 9. Ticketmaster has not provided ticket prices so it’s likely some tickets will be priced variably based on demand.
Wallen last appeared in Atlanta at Lakewood Amphitheatre for two sold-out concerts this past August.
He has garnered nine consecutive top 5 country hits going back to 2017 including the current No. 1 song “You Proof.” He has been the biggest selling country artist in album sales the past two years and his album “Dangerous” in September broke the record for most weeks in the top 10 for any album in Billboard magazine history.
The controversy over a video showing him uttering a form of a racial slur while drunk early last year barely impacted his popularity with his core fan base.
As with his previous tour, $3 of every ticket sold for his upcoming U.S. shows will benefit the Morgan Wallen Foundation, which has supported organizations such as Greater Good Music, Children Are People, the Salvation Army and the National Museum of African American Music.
